The 2024 NTT IndyCar calendar has been released on Monday. It features 17 events from March to September.

The disappointing but unsurprising news is that Texas Motor Speedway is not part of the IndyCar calendar next year. Josef Newgarden beat Pato O’Ward in quite possibly the best race of the season in IndyCar or any racing category this year.

With St. Pete kicking things off as usual, there will be a non-points race held at the Thermal Club two weeks after the season-opener.

The first oval of 2024 will be the iconic Indianapolis 500 in May. It’s sure to be a big test for Kyffin Simpson in his rookie campaign.

As for the Indianapolis road course race, there will be only one of those in 2024 after years of the event getting held twice during an IndyCar season.

An old friend of the series returns as the series heads for a double-header at the Milwaukee Mile at the end of August/early September.

2024 will conclude with a new race in downtown Nashville. If it’s anything like the Laguna Seca event earlier this month — which has now moved to a June date next year — chaos will be the order of the day.
