NTT INDYCAR SERIES | RD. 14
PREVIEW<\/strong>: FIRESTONE GRAND PRIX OF ST. PETERSBURG (USA)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The condensed 2020 NTT INDYCAR SERIES campaign reaches its final destination this weekend, with the field set to take on the only street race of the year in St. Petersburg, Florida. Returning to the location originally slated to stage the season opener, Felix Rosenqvist is carrying high hopes of a strong finale at a personal venue of choice.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>

The Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg traditionally marks the opening round of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, but was called off at the last moment \u2013 with teams and drivers on site in the paddock \u2013 back in March during the initial outbreak of coronavirus.

A largely reworked calendar later forced the championship to cancel several events, most notably the street tracks \u2013 a trademark Rosenqvist strength \u2013 with Long Beach, Detroit and Toronto all dropped from the schedule.

Organizers were ultimately able to reinstate St. Petersburg in a revised slot at the other end of the calendar, however, making it the season-finale.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic means INDYCAR has not raced at a street track since Toronto in July of 2019 \u2013 more than a year ago \u2013 making the return to St. Petersburg (2019 images below<\/strong>) a long-awaited occasion for Rosenqvist in the #10 NTT DATA Chip Ganassi Racing entry.
