Indycar is a privately owned company headquartered in the United States. Founded in 1994, it employs approximately 170 individuals and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer, specializing in motorsports and cycling. The company serves as the Indianapolis-based governing body for North America's open-wheel auto racing series, the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, and its final preparatory series, Indy NXT.
IndyCar confirmed Nashville Superspeedway's July 19 date for the 2026 NTT IndyCar Series schedule, positioning the Fox broadcast to receive a television ratings lead-in from the World Cup final match. This decision follows the series' postponement of its Nashville visit on the corresponding weekend in 2025, which scuppered initial plans to stage that race immediately after the Fifa World Cup final to boost viewership; the series is currently averaging 1.7 million viewers on Fox through 11 races. Previously, Road America leveraged a similar strategy to achieve 1.8 million viewers, its largest non-Indy 500 result in 15 years. On July 18, INDYCAR Officiating announced a nine-position starting grid penalty for the No. 7 Arrow McLaren and No. 12 Team Penske entries due to unapproved engine changes after a July 8 test at Milwaukee Mile. Earlier, the now-postponed Music City Grand Prix in Nashville had been anticipated to draw a large audience, airing directly after the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina. Separately, on July 13, President Donald Trump hosted top-ranking IndyCar drivers at the White House for a "Grand Prix Showcase" ahead of the August Freedom 250 Grand Prix, a street race planned for a 1.7-mile track around the National Mall.
