Mayor John Tory announced the cancellation of several events in line with the stay-at-home order across the state of Ontario. This restriction was originally set to end on July 1, but has now been extended to September 6. Green Savoree Racing Promotions (GSRP), which also runs the St. Petersburg, Mid-Ohio and Portland events, said in

The team co-owned by Gary Trout and Bill Throckmorton had planned to enter the 500 in 2020, but deferred its entry by a year when last year’s race was held without fans in attendance. Enerson, who finished fourth in Indy Lights in 2015, has made four starts in IndyCar with Dale Coyne Racing and Carlin,

Stewart appeared to be taking an old-school route to the top of U.S. open-wheel racing in the 1990s, winning the USAC National Midget, Sprint and Silver Crown titles in 1995 and joining the Menard team for the newly created Indy Racing League in 1996. After scoring a second place on his debut in 1996, Stewart

In Saturday evening’s race, Sebastien Bourdais was running seventh when he braked in reaction to Colton Herta slowing in front of him, heading for the pitlane. Immediately behind Bourdais, Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden was caught by surprise and tapped the #14 car into a spin that sent the 37-time race-winner hard into the barrier on

Unser famously won the Indy 500 in 1968, 1975 and 1981, marking him and Rick Mears as the only drivers to win the event in three different decades. He also made one Formula 1 start for BRM in the 1968 US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, when he retired with a blown engine. The charismatic

The Canadian star, recovering from a spinal injury following his IndyCar crash at Pocono in 2018, returned to the cockpit to test an adapted Bryan Herta Autosport Hyundai Veloster TCR car at Mid-Ohio. Wickens, a winner in Formula BMW, Formula Atlantic, GP3, Formula 3, A1GP, Formula 2 and a champion in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series

The Andretti Autosport team will run Wilson in a sixth entry for the 105th running of the Indy 500, which will be the second time that Michael Andretti has run the younger brother of the much-loved seven-time IndyCar race winner Justin Wilson, who died following an accident at Pocono in 2015. Asked whether joining a

The debacle that was this year’s Indianapolis 500 didn’t really come into proper focus until the day after the race. After all, charges of inept officiating and stories of confusion and controversy have become part of the curious folklore of the Indy 500 and when everyone went to bed on Sunday night it seemed that

Sponsored by new women’s golf lifestyle brand Lohla Sport, Wilson will join not only the team’s four full-timers, but also last year’s polesitter Marco Andretti.  Wilson, the brother of the late Justin Wilson, made his debut in the race with KVSH Racing in 2016 – retiring after 119 laps with electrical trouble. The British driver 

The grip additive known as PJ1 has been applied to the Texas Motor Speedway for its NASCAR Cup races, with the intent of allowing cars to take different lines around the oval course thanks to the improved traction higher up the banking. Given it has been designed to work with the NASCAR tyres supplied by

O’Ward was in swaggering form all day, and looked set to take the lead of the race for the final 50 laps of the race when team-mate Felix Rosenqvist brought out a caution moments after the front runners had conducted their final pitstops as his right-rear wheel fell off. But Newgarden had performed a pit

The Arrow McLaren SP driver passed Josef Newgarden late on in the second of the series’ two races on the 1.44-mile Texas oval on Sunday to secure the first win of his IndyCar career and the first for the team previously known as Schmidt Peterson Motorsports since its partnership with McLaren was formalised prior to

Under a gloomy sky, the Genesys 300 contest got underway 35 minutes early as IndyCar attempted to squeeze it into the TV window – and without pushing back the first race of this double-header. With qualifying having been cancelled due to rain delaying practice, championship points ensured Alex Palou of Chip Ganassi Racing led the field

The three-time and reigning Supercars champion started only 15th after inclement weather compressed the Saturday schedule at Texas Motor Speedway and forced IndyCar to cancel qualifying, and instead base the grid on entrant points. However, he moved up through the field as several rivals pitted slightly early – just before the first caution for Sebastien

The Chip Ganassi Racing driver was the only runner to nudge past the 220mph barrier with his 16th of 54 laps turned at the 1.5-mile oval near Fort Worth. This was a psychological boost for the Brazilian driver considering he will have to start from the last row of the grid after qualifying was canned

Aside from five minutes of two-stage pit-speed limiter practice on Saturday and five minutes of install laps on Sunday, the 24-car field will be granted just one-hour of practice (75 minutes for rookies) before qualifying gets underway. As was introduced on ovals last year, each driver’s first lap of qualifying will set the grid for

Andretti Autosport’s Herta led the second round of the season for 97 of the 100 laps, holding off a strong run from Team Penske-Chevrolet’s Josef Newgarden. In the first stint, in which he was using Firestone’s softer alternate compound of tyres, Herta pulled a 2.5-second gap over Meyer Shank Racing’s Jack Harvey – and then

Although Daly races for Ed Carpenter Racing across the road and street courses, along with the Indianapolis 500, he will assume duties for the British squad at Texas when ECR team owner Ed Carpenter takes his usual role of contesting the oval races – and Daly is also expected to drive at Gateway later this

Team Penske-Chevrolet’s two-time champion was beaten by Herta in the second round of the 2021 NTT IndyCar Series, despite a strong effort to displace him following the two restarts in the final stint. Newgarden cautioned against ignoring his 2019 title rival Alexander Rossi, but believes Herta has gained preeminence in the Andretti Autosport-Honda squad which

Herta had dominated proceedings at St. Petersburg, and although Penske’s Newgarden put the Andretti Autosport driver under pressure following two yellow flags in the final quarter of the race, Herta resisted his efforts to claim his fourth career IndyCar win. From pole, Herta immediately began to clear the rest of the pack at the start

Wheldon, who died in an IndyCar crash at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2011, won the 2005 series title for Michael Andretti’s team when it was known as Andretti-Green Racing and scored 16 IndyCar wins in a career that included two Indianapolis 500 victories in 2005 and 2011. The Briton had been due to

The 21-year-old, who had also topped Q2, went 0.249s faster than Meyer-Shank Racing driver Harvey with his final run to claim top spot with a 1m00.321s effort on his fourth lap. In doing so, he becomes the first non-Team Penske driver since Robert Wickens in 2018 to claim pole at the Florida circuit. Harvey’s best

After several minutes were lost when the data system went down, the session got underway with rookie trio Scott McLaughlin, Jimmie Johnson and Romain Grosjean heading out first. But it was Andretti Autosport’s Alexander Rossi who was first to break into the 60-second bracket with a 60.865s. Rossi’s team-mate Colton Herta responded by snipping just

The team signed former Chip Ganassi Racing ace Felix Rosenqvist to partner incumbent Pato O’Ward this season after dispensing with the services of 2019 Indy Lights champion Oliver Askew, and will expand to run a third car at the Indianapolis 500 for for two-time winner Juan Pablo Montoya. It brings the team closer into line

Johnson, who retired from NASCAR last season after a distinguished career with Hendrick Motorsports, is running all the non-oval races this year for Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda. After qualifying 21st for his first start in America’s premier open-wheel series, he was almost taken out in the opening lap chaos caused in the aftermath of spinning frontrunner

The accident was triggered by Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden in eighth place slipping slightly wide on the exit of Turn 4, on the climb to Turn 5. The two-time champion’s left rear tire caught the grass and spun him broadside across the track. Colton Herta’s Andretti Autosport car, which had started ninth, struck the Penske

The Chip Ganassi Racing driver produced a masterful performance in the lead, but with Power bearing down on him, Palou hit the trigger on his remaining push-to-pass on the penultimate lap to build enough of a buffer to keep the Penske driver behind. Palou began the race from third on the grid, and began the

Team Penske driver Newgarden lost control on the exit of Turn 4, touched the grass and spun in front of the pack on the opening lap and was subsequently hit by the Andretti Autosport cars of Herta and then Hunter-Reay. Felix Rosenqvist also flew into the air after further contact with Max Chilton as the

Although he was only 21st and 17th fastest in the practice sessions on Saturday, Grosjean progressed through the first round of qualifying. He looked set to make the Fast Six session, but was knocked out by Will Power in the closing seconds. Grosjean, who scored 10 podiums in his nine-year F1 career, is making the

The seven-time Cup champion is set to drive the #48 Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda for all 13 road and street courses on the 2021 IndyCar schedule, with 2004 IndyCar champion Tony Kanaan taking over the car for the four oval races including the Indianapolis 500. Having raced at the Cup level for two decades, winning 83
