“The INDYCAR race was simply amazing and once again demonstrated that open-wheel racing on ovals provides an excitement level unmatched in motorsports,” World Wide Technology Raceway Promoter and General Manager Chris Blair said. “Our fans were treated to a spectacle that resembled a 200-miles-per-hour, long-distance sprint car race. Throughout the event, there was three- and four-wide racing, dive moves deep into the corners and action that kept our impressive crowd on the edge of their seats. It was everything you could ask for as a race fan.”
Or as a driver.
“…We had amazing battles all up and down the field,” Colton Herta of Andretti Global with Curb-Agajanian said. “We had two lanes working for some guys and it was really more up to if you could maneuver your car in the right way and if your car was better, you could get high. That’s the way it should be. It’s such skill and you still work at getting past people. It was awesome and a lot of fun. It was definitely the best one or two oval races for me in my career.”
The timing of the 2025 race weekend makes for a perfect Father’s Day gift and World Wide Technology Raceway is offering a limited special at three price points to meet any budget. General admission tickets for the two days begin at just $33. Silver Level reserved seating tickets are $66 and reserved Gold Finish Line tickets at $99 for the entire weekend.
“As the first oval event following the Indianapolis 500, the stars and cars of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES will be at the top of their game and ready to thrill the crowds at their most competitive track,” Blair said. “We’re going to make Father’s Day weekend one to remember with an incredible early ticket offer that provides two days of racing action for as low as $33.”
