IndyCar has announced a 17-race schedule for the 2023 NTT IndyCar Series as the sport’s athletes will be showcased with traditional weekend dates, 13 races on NBC and a late-summer swing leading to another climactic ending to the 2023 championship.
The 2023 season opens Sunday, March 5, on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida. Racing then will take place all spring and summer, including the 107th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday, May 28, before the season ends on Sunday, Sept. 10 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California.
The journey to a championship includes a stretch of eight races in the final nine weeks of the season, giving fans action nearly every weekend.
