IndyCar Series reaches thrilling conclusion

A pressure-packed IndyCar Series championship race that reaches its crescendo this weekend is an extension of a compelling season in which the past 11 events have been conducted over 13 weeks (seven ovals and four road/street courses).

Predictions that the 17-race schedule would test teams’ resolve, drivers’ skills and product reliability have come to fruition.

Whether on ovals or road/street courses, the racing has been tight and competitive. In a series that has zero room for error, most of the racing outcomes left both owners and drivers either upset, frustrated or bickering with someone.

Certainly, the summer schedule hasn’t lacked drama and color.
