In result of a global pandemic that has turned the motorsport industry upside down, the egos have been set aside.
While other tracks have hosted open wheel + stock car doubleheaders over the past decades, this is the first time that both of the crown jewel championships of American Open Wheel racing and American Stock Car racing have came together.
For the first time in North American racing history: the NTT IndyCar Series and NASCAR Cup Series will come together to host a doubleheader race weekend at the same venue - that being the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The venue - hallowed ground for race fans all around the world marks a few firsts, such as it being the first major racing event under the stewardship of Roger Penske, and where race fans would not be permitted to watch in the grandstands due to the coronavirus.
Saturday will feature the NTT IndyCar Series & the NASCAR XFINITY Series running a doubleheader on the infield road course at IMS. Sunday will feature the annual Brickyard 400 for the NASCAR Cup Series in it's traditional format on the 2.5 mile oval.
Other racing events are still a-go in the state of Indiana, including those running with limited spectators. Those include: IRP (ARCA + Sprint Cars on Friday), Terre Haute (USAC Sprint Cars - Wednesday night), Putnamville (USAC Sprint Cars - Friday & Saturday) & Kokomo (Weekly show - Friday)
