organisers also confirming that the rescheduled St. Petersburg race will host the season finale on October 25. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amid the on-going COVID-19 crisis, INDYCAR have been working to outline a revised calendar with the aim of maintaining as many events as possible, resulting in a new preliminary schedule featuring 14 races (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The season will now start on June 6 with a one-day condensed event at Texas Motor Speedway, with further races due to follow suit later the same month at Road America and Richmond Raceway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Indy 500 retains its August 23 slot previously announced, while St. Pete moves from its original (cancelled) season-opening slot to the other end of the calendar to now feature as the grand finale on October 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indycar.com\/News\/2020\/05\/05-13-StPete-Season-Finale\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Read the full INDYCAR statement here (opens in a new tab)\"
