Fans of the NTT IndyCar Series have been patient and that patience has finally paid off. The season starts this weekend with the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, AL – just a few miles east of Birmingham off of I-20.

Earlier this week, Norris McDonald reported that NBC would be trimming Paul Tracy’s schedule back to a handful of races on their broadcasts of the NTT IndyCar Series. This is not speculation. He interviewed Tracy who confirmed that he will only be in the broadcast booth a total of six times, including this weekend’s season-opener at Barber Motorsports Park, just east of Birmingham, AL. The other five events will be at Texas, Indianapolis, Nashville, Laguna Seca and Long Beach.

After mentioning replays on Peacock, I’ve had a couple of people ask me about how to access replays of the open test last week at IMS.

The practice sessions will immediately appear.

It doesn’t take a lot to give me a reason to go visit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. For the first time in over twenty years, I did not set foot in the city of Indianapolis during calendar year 2020.

Some might file this under “Not too much to talk about today”. I could have discussed the NASCAR race at Bristol on dirt that got postponed until Monday. There seem to be a lot of opinions floating around about that, but I didn’t get to see any of it live because I was at work. I just saw a few dusty highlights. Then again, that was a NASCAR event. This site focuses on IndyCar.
