IndyCar has made some surprise changes to its schedule, starting on June 15 with its second oval race of the season following the 109th Indianapolis 500. The Bommarito Automotive Group 500 at WWT Raceway will now be held on Sunday night. Additionally, IndyCar has adjusted the start times for four other races in the second half of the season.

Originally scheduled to start at 3 p.m. on Father’s Day, the event at WWT Raceway will now start at 8 p.m. ET on FOX. This will be IndyCar’s first primetime Sunday night race broadcast on network TV and the first night race at the 1.25-mile oval since 2019.

“This is a massive primetime showcase under the lights for the stars of the NTT IndyCar Series,” said IndyCar President Douglas Boles.

“This is also a tremendous display of partnership from both FOX Sports and our friends at World Wide Technology Raceway, who’ve worked with us to generate this exciting opportunity for our sport. Race weekend in St. Louis is just a month away, and fans in venue and around the country are in for a real treat when IndyCar arrives in town.”

The schedule change is expected to provide drivers, who have been pushing for more night races on the IndyCar calendar as they often provide better racing conditions — namely, cooler temperatures . WWT Raceway also saw the most on-track passes of any event during the 2024 season. This change is also good news for fans, who will now be able to enjoy the event from the grandstands in pleasant summer evening temperatures.

The new timing of the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 will prevent IndyCar from clashing with the inaugural NASCAR Cup race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City, as well as the Canadian Grand Prix.

The other events changing start times

Additionally, IndyCar and Fox have agreed to change the start times of four other events to avoid other broadcast conflicts with NASCAR, though not all of them.

Consequently, the race at Road America will move from 3:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. ET on June 22. Additionally, the race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on July 6 and Race 2 at the Iowa Speedway on July 13 will change from 2 p.m. to 1 p.m. ET. Finally, the race on the Streets of Toronto, planned for July 20, will move from 2 p.m. to noon.

IndyCar expects that the adjustments to tune-in times will “capitalize on opportunities to further build an audience” for the series. So far in 2025, the average race audience has grown by 15 percent since the beginning of IndyCar’s partnership with Fox.

After an incident, Chase Elliott was worked up on the team radio

On Sunday, NASCAR raced on the Chicago Street Course. With a narrow track, blind corners and carnage to be likely, spotters are super important.

Chase Elliott was in a side-by-side battle outside the top 20 when a car spun ahead. The car was stuck in the tire barrier.

Elliott’s spotter jumped on the radio telling him to go right. However, Austin Cindric, the car ahead, checked up drastically. Elliott drove hard into his back bumper.

After the incident, Elliott was heated…

Radio communications

With a crash ahead, the spotter jumped on the radio, “Stay right. Stay right.”

Chase Elliott stated over the radio, “It’s killed. Absolutely killed.”

Elliott: “Is it pushed in bad on the grill, Alan?”

Alan responded, “It’s fine. The tires are straight. Run it.”

Moments later, Elliott was fired up, “I need to know somebody (expletive) crashed not ‘go right’ Like, something’s happened. Does me zero (expletive) good.”

The spotter returned with a simple response, “10-4.”

Watch the exchange below.

NASCAR arrives at the Sonoma Raceway this weekend, for the three action-packed races culminating in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 on Sunday, July 13. It’s the second consecutive road course weekend in a row, and also marks Round 3 of the In-Season Challenge.

There will be televised practices and qualifying races throughout the weekend leading up to the Toyota/Save Mart 350. 2025 Sonoma weekend includes racing events for the ARCA Menards West Series (General Tire 200) and NASCAR Xfinity Series (Pit Boss/FoodMaxx 250) along with the NASCAR Cup Series.

Turner-owned networks TNT, TBS and truTV have taken over NASCAR broadcasting for the back half of the season, which means DirecTV (free trial) has become the best bet for fans looking to watch NASCAR without cable TV. Sling and Hulu + Live TV also carry the channels, but fuboTV is no longer a viable option.

What to know about the Sonoma Raceway

Sonoma Raceway, nestled in the rolling vineyards of Northern California, is the West Coast’s premier road‑course track since its debut in 1989. It’s a challenging 1.99‑mile, 12‑turn layout with its significant elevation changes that has produced memorable races. The Toyota/Save Mart 350, held annually in mid‑July, is the only Cup event in California and features 110 laps (218.9 miles).

Kyle Larson has Sonoma victories in 2021 and again last year, but in 2023, Martin Truex Jr. dominated the race, leading 51 laps en route to victory. Historically, legends like Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, and Rusty Wallace have left their mark here, reflecting the race’s reputation for requiring finesse and patience.

This year’s race, the 20th on the calendar, offers significant prize money—$11 million-plus—and serves as the third event in NASCAR’s new In‑Season Challenge. Shane van Gisbergen looks like a strong favorite thanks to momentum from recent road‑course success, including victory at Chicago last week. But Kyle Larson, with three wins on the season, remains a perennial threat that cannot be ignored.

Can I bet on the Toyota/Save Mart 350?

Yes, you can bet on NASCAR from your phone in New York State, and we’ve compiled some of the best introductory offers to help navigate your first bets from BetMGM, FanDuel, DraftKings, Bet365 and more.

Shane Van Gisbergen is favored again to win, thanks to his success on road courses this season. After last weekend’s win in Chicago, Van Gisbergen is +130 to win his third road course of the year.
