Rain showers caused a delay to the second free practice session earlier, which eventually ran for 30 minutes, after which it rained again and left more standing water around the 2.1-mile, 11-turn temporary street circuit. Marcus Ericsson topped the session for Chip Ganassi Racing ahead of Ed Carpenter’s Rinus VeeKay. IndyCar qualifying was due to
A pre-session downpour delayed the start of practice, and when it did run for 30 minutes, Ericsson lapped the 2.1-mile temporary street course in 1m31.7999s. Ganassi’s series dominator Alex Palou was one of the first cars on track, setting the bar at 1m35.0152s, and was also the first to find the run-off at Turn 11,
Gragson, 25, was first suspended by the race team and then by the sanctioning body.

Speaking at the announcement of Nashville taking the place of Laguna Seca as the final round of the 2024 IndyCar calendar, Team Penske’s Newgarden – who hails from nearby Hendersonville – said he hopes for a tight championship finale on the new track layout that takes in much more of the city’s downtown district. “I think
Arguably no driver is as closely associated with the Ford-powered Lola B02/00 Champ Car chassis as Sebastien Bourdais. In its five seasons of competition, two of which as Champ Car became a de-facto single-make category following the disappearance of Reynard from the US open-wheel series by 2005, the Frenchman won three titles on the bounce
Nashville joined the IndyCar roster in 2021, running an 11-turn layout primarily around the Nissan Stadium – home of the Tennessee Titans NFL team – and featuring only a short loop around the downtown area across the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge.

Armstrong, who leads the rookie standings despite running a non-oval schedule in CGR’s #11 car, has scored top-10 finishes in half of his eight IndyCar starts. He’s handed over the car to Takuma Sato for all of the oval events but has set his sights on running full-time with the team that leads this year’s
Big grids of GT3 machinery may be nothing out of the ordinary in Europe, but the sight of 36 cars assembling for the GT World Challenge Asia round at Fuji in June marked an important achievement for a championship that was forced into hibernation for two seasons during the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic. With
Speaking after the recent double-header races at Iowa Speedway, where he scored a brilliant brace of victories to narrow the gap to 80 points, Indy 500 winner Newgarden admitted that his team needs to do better on non-oval tracks if he is to challenge his Chip Ganassi Racing rival. When asked if the squad had
Lundqvist is the latest driver to step in for Simon Pagenaud, who continues to recover from a horrendous practice accident at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course earlier this month. The former series champion and Indy 500 winner has been advised once again by the IndyCar medical team to not participate in this weekend’s event in Nashville.
Buescher, who started 26th, dominated along with RFK Racing team-mate and co-owner Brad Keselowski, as the two combined to lead 190 of the 400 laps.

Kostecki will become the second Supercars driver to make a NASCAR cameo this year following Shane van Gisbergen’s sensational debut victory in Chicago earlier this month.

The immediate future of the three-time Supercars champion is subject to fevered speculation following his stunning win on debut in the NASCAR Cup Series earlier this month.

Speaking on his Speed Street podcast, Daly explained the moment he came upon Sting Ray Robb’s left-rear wheel on lap 157 during his third outing subbing for the sidelined Simon Pagenaud at Meyer Shank Racing.

Even before van Gisbergen’s victory for Chevrolet squad Trackhouse Racing on his NASCAR debut, there had been growing international attention on NASCAR’s top series this season. NASCAR’s Hendrick Motorsports-run Garage 56 Chevrolet at this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours, which included 2009 Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button and 2011 Le Mans winner Mike Rockenfeller,
Last weekend, Josef Newgarden made the IndyCar Series title fight interesting. Well, a bit. The Team Penske driver’s double victories at Iowa Speedway, a track he truly excels at, puts him 80 points off dominator Alex Palou. So, should Chip Ganassi Racing’s Spanish ace be worried? Not really. Those 80 points are effectively a win
O’Ward finished third in Saturday’s opening race at the 7/8-mile short oval, having been the only McLaren driver to qualify in the top 10 for either race. After Race 1, O’Ward said of Team Penske’s dominating cars: “They were specifically strong in getting through traffic, and I would get stuck. I wasn’t able to really
Chip Ganassi Racing star Palou saw Team Penske’s oval ace Newgarden reduce his points lead reduce from 117 to 80 after his closest rival scored a brace of victories at Iowa, the type of venue that the Spaniard admits is his weakest suit. Although he finished a lapped eighth on Saturday, Palou rebounded on Sunday
Reigning champion Power finished just 0.7s behind Newgarden following a late-race yellow flag that led to a three-lap sprint to the end of the race. But Power thinks he could’ve moved ahead of his team-mate after the final pitstops if he wasn’t delayed leaving his pit box by Marcus Ericsson, who was pitting ahead of
Team Penske driver Newgarden led for 341 laps of the total 500 laps, scoring his fifth and sixth career victories at the short-track oval.

While battling for tenth place with 55 laps to go, Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet driver Dillon and his former team-mate Reddick made contact entering Turn 1 as they ran three-wide with Brad Keselowski to their outside.

After the final round of green flag pitstops, Larson and Hamlin battled for the lead on a restart with seven of 160 laps remaining – just after Alex Bowman lost control of his car racing Hamlin and crashed at Turn 3. Hamlin got to the inside of Larson, drifted up the track and nudged him
From 16th on the grid, Arrow McLaren driver Rosenqvist used strategy and passing moves to work his way through the order in Sunday’s second race of the double-header weekend. He was also helped by the timing of the yellow for Sting Ray Robb’s car losing a wheel, which elevated him to fifth. Going into the
Newgarden charged to the front in the early stages of the 250-lap race on the short oval, passing his team-mates Will Power and Scott McLaughlin in one fell swoop on lap 32 as they got balked in traffic. As on Saturday, the two-time IndyCar champion again led the majority of the race, as McLaughlin and
Newgarden worked his way past fellow Penske drivers Scott McLaughlin and poleman Will Power to grab the lead just before half distance of the 250-lap race. That proved to be the key move, with Newgarden staying out front for his first win since the Indianapolis 500 in May – and to keep up his 100%
Power topped the two-lap qualifying session around the 0.875-mile oval with a best lap of 17.7246s, which was a fastest speed of 181.578mph.
