Eric Holcomb, a two-term Republican who can’t run again due to term limits. The debate will be broadcast and livestreamed on the commission’s website. The commission says it will solicit questions from the public before the debate.

Larson won in his first trip back to the speedway since trying to become the fifth driver to complete 1,100 miles of racing on the same May day, at Indy and Charlotte, North Carolina. Larson won for the fourth time this season and took the points lead from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Chase Elliott.
