Here is the 2024 Indycar schedule:

Some thoughts:

Thrilled that Milwaukee is back. I wonder if they’re aiming for an Iowa style weekend. Fans who clamored for this track’s return better show up.

There is still a one month gap between the first two points paying races of the season, despite the Thermal exhibition in between them.

I am also excited that Gateway and Iowa will have night races again. These two tracks have much better races at night.

No Texas, although a notice went out last night implying that it would be on the schedule.

Just 9 races on NBC, down from 13 in 2023 and 14 in 2022. One of the NBC events is the Thermal exhibition, which means just half the schedule on the network that draws the most viewers.

Two oval doubleheaders. Is that too many? It does put one more oval race on the schedule.

I understand the three-week Olympics break. Understanding doesn’t mean that I am happy about it.

I’m surprised neither Milwaukee race is on NBC.
