ST. PETERSBURG, Florida – As the professional sports world enters uncharted territory over the massive amounts of cancellations, IndyCar is trying to steer its ship to calmer waters.

It was able to salvage Sunday’s Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg from cancellation, but it will be an IndyCar industry-only crowd.

Not since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 has the sports world been universally threatened by something so big. This time, it’s a pandemic caused for the COVID-19 virus.

Working in conjunction with Mayor Rick Kriseman, Penske Entertainment CEO Mark Miles, race sponsor Firestone and other key health officials, the race will go on without spectators. No one from the general public will be admitted to the grounds.

Non-essential team members are being sent home.


Indy Car is now off..
