Worst timed commercial award goes to….Fox!

Still waiting on the die-cast of Rosenqvist's Ozzy livery. After yesterday, moreso than ever...

If you find one lets us know.

Grateful Dead car already dead.

I'm not saying Palou is cheating, but damn, you have to wonder. This is SUPPOSED to be a spec series.

And IndyCar's policy on yellows is ****ed up. Either it's a yellow or it's not. If it screws the leaders tough ****, that's racing.

Ganassi's other cars aren't that quick. It is a bit suspicious.

Tickets just went on sale for the race in Arlington. It's a bit pricey if you want a grandstand seat.

Sitting down low is $179 to well over $200. It's $113 dollars for general admission.

I wonder if giving free tickets to race volunteers is still a thing. I got some for volunteering at one of the hospitality tents at the GP of Houston in 2007. Granted, that was Champ Car during the split, but still.

The tent was right across the track from the Newman-Haas paddock. I got to see Paul himself up close one morning before the fans started arriving. Also saw Justin Wilson (RIP) stroll by.

Seems a bit too pricey IMO. And I'm wary of buying inaugural tickets after Nashville in 2021. It was a ****show. Maybe I'll continue to save up for a 500 instead.

Went ahead and got tickets in the horseshoe at the top of grandstand 6. $170 each and way more than I expected to spend on this.

Anyone know if there's going to be an undercard race for the Arlington GP?

Phoenix, Mexico and a relocated Toronto all poised to feature on IndyCar's 2026 schedule

One question was asked more than any other throughout the paddock last weekend at Milwaukee: When will the 2026 IndyCar schedule be released?

There's no specific answer on when it will land, but when it does, there might be a surprise or two in store for the series' growing fan base.

Pacing of the early races has been an area of improvement to address in previous years, as the curtain-raiser each season at St. Petersburg has often been met with weeks of inactivity. In response, the start to next year's IndyCar championship should keep teams in constant motion.

The Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg has already been confirmed for a March 1 race date, and for the first time, the event welcomes NASCAR's Craftsman Trucks to race on Saturday, Feb. 28. Provided it holds its traditional place as the first IndyCar event of the season, teams will finish the Floridian street race and sprint west to Phoenix Raceway for the second event of the year.

Multiple sources have told RACER the trip to Arizona is for a brand-new combo weekend where IndyCar will join NASCAR on the reconfigured one-mile oval. IndyCar is said to be slated for a Saturday race on March 7, with NASCAR's Cup series closing the weekend in the headlining slot on Sunday, March 8.

...

Although the date is unknown, RACER has learned the leading location for IndyCar's lone trip to Canada is the town of Markham, located approximately 45 minutes north of the current course. A downtown street race in Markham, which has more than 300,000 residents and rates as Canada's 16th-largest city, has been proposed.

The former site of Buttonville Airport has also been rumored, but with the airport currently undergoing demolition as part of a planned redevelopment, downtown Markham is said to be the primary focus for holding the event. Markham, which put in a bid to have an NHL team of its own, is well-populated and positioned to keep IndyCar in Canada while the World Cup takes over the greater Toronto region in 2026.

The last race of interest is Mexico City and a trip to Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Despite increasing concerns over the event's addition to the calendar, an IndyCar spokesperson told RACER last week that planning for the event continues to happen and negotiations are in an encouraging place.
