Indycar is back with race #4 in the calendar. Our annual visit to Barber Motorsports Park outside of Birmingham, Alabama, now in its 12th running, has become a highlight of the season due to its flowing layout through some beautiful countryside. The race is a few weeks later than usual this year, so the foliage (alternate pronunciation: foilage) should be even more beautiful than usual. It is truly the Augusta National of American road tracks.
Weekend Schedule (all times Eastern):
Friday 4:00pm, Practice 1 for Indycar
Saturday 10:00am, Practice 2
Saturday 1:00pm, Qualifying
Saturday 5:20pm, Practice 3
Sunday 1:00pm, Racin'!
In the States the race is on NBC, and everything else, including the race itself, is on Peacock.
There is also a full schedule of Road to Indy ladder races. Bless your heart if you watch them, y'all.
Good news from the venue, the entire weekend is SOLD OUT. I'm not sure I've ever seen that before for Alabama!
Who's won what so far?
Penske.
'Nuff said.
