The 2020 Genesys 300 proved that the NTT IndyCar Series hasn’t missed a beat. Despite the series starting almost three months later, Saturday’s (June 6) event at Texas Motor Speedway was full of the excitement, adrenaline, and WTF moments that fans have come to expect. While Scott Dixon easily drove to his third Texas victory, …
The NTT IndyCar Series had the first event of its pandemic-postponed season with the 2020 Genesys 300, and it was a difficult debut. Despite there being only one viable racing lane and two yellow flags, No. 9 Chip Ganassi driver Scott Dixon dominated the race and secured an easy victory—his second in three years at …
The 2020 Genesys 300 has incredibly high stakes for the NTT IndyCar Series. Not only is the Texas Motor Speedway event the 2020 IndyCar season opener, it’s the first race with the series’ new aeroscreen, and the only race in June.

Although the 2020 NTT IndyCar Series schedule looks different this year, the desire to win is still present in every team.

In this multi-article series, I’ll take a look at the under-appreciated world of racing films and the hidden gems that lie on streaming services and the Internet.

About 30 minutes after I submitted last week’s edition of Couch Potato Tuesday, my mom came to me and …
The IndyCar iRacing Challenge is two-thirds of the way complete after Saturday’s venture to Twin Ring Motegi, and Simon Pagenaud has his second win in just as many iRacing events. But surprisingly, his back-to-back victories were not the biggest story of this virtual return to Japan. What can we learn from IndyCar’s outing on the …
The IndyCar iRacing Challenge rolled on this weekend with the Virtual Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama, the second race of the six-race series. Taking place the day before the 2020 Indy Grand Prix of Alabama was scheduled to run, the event did its best to replicate what racing at Barber Motorsports Park would have …
With the 2020 IndyCar season just days away, Scott Dixon has a lot to look forward to. The five-time champion has a new teammate at Chip Ganassi Racing, a new aeroscreen on the No. 9 CGR PNC Bank Honda, and a new opportunity to win his sixth title. Given all that’s happened, it’s no surprise …
Mazda Team Joest may have had the fastest car for much of the race, but they were not perfect. Neither was Wayne Taylor Racing. They were able to come to the front during the overnight hours. When the Mazdas began to fall off, the Konica Minolta-sponsored Cadillac pulled away. When the clock struck 1:40 p.m., …
In the world of motorsports, Scott Dixon’s place as a legend is pretty much assured.
