The series was scheduled to kick off its doubleheader weekend at Iowa Speedway with practice sessions on Friday, but Mother Nature had other plans. Updated schedule below.
The first of the two sessions was set to begin at 2:35 p.m. (CT), and was specifically designed for drivers to run solely on the high line of the 0.894-mile oval. The goal was to lay down rubber and improve the quality of racing during the weekend’s two events.
However, just minutes before the scheduled green flag, IndyCar announced that “the start of IndyCar practice at Iowa Speedway is on hold due to weather.”
After waiting for nearly an hour and a half, the series confirmed that there would be no on-track activity on Friday and that a revised schedule would be implemented for the remainder of the weekend.
“Due to inclement weather, all remaining track activity at Iowa Speedway has been canceled for today and will resume Saturday. An updated schedule will be released shortly,” the series announced.
Update: On-track activity on Saturday will begin with a practice session at 9:00 a.m. CT, while the qualifying session — which will set the grid for both races of the weekend — has been moved from 11:05 to 12:30. The Synk 275 powered by Sukup, which will cover 275 laps for a total of 245 miles, is scheduled to start at 4:00 p.m.
