The Force Indy auto racing team made its debut recently at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Black-owned team is already feeling the impact it's making on motor sports.

NTT became title sponsor of the IndyCar Series in 2019. The company has since extended the agreement and become the official technology partner of IndyCar, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR's Brickyard weekend.

The 20-year-old is the fourth winner 24 or younger to reach victory lane this season, joining Alex Palou, Colton Herta, and Pato O'Ward in what is quickly becoming a changing of the guard in IndyCar.

Last year COVID-19 restrictions forced IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to move the GMR Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 from May to later in the year. The races eventually ran without fans in the stands.

Track officials had been optimistic IMS could be the first major sporting venue to have fans back in the stands this summer. Instead, the stands will be empty much like the rest of the tracks since major racing resumed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Indianapolis-based racing series has gotten the green flag to finally start its season in Texas next month with a nighttime race June 6 without spectators.

The Harvest GP is set to run Saturday, Oct. 3, towards the end of the 2020 racing season.

The Indianapolis 500 wont be run on Memorial Day weekend for the first time since 1946 after Roger Penske on Thursday postponed one of Americas crown jewel sporting events until Aug. 23.

The Indianapolis 500 scheduled for May 24 has been postponed until August because of the coronavirus pandemic and won't run on Memorial Day weekend for the first time since 1946.

IndyCar President and CEO Mark Miles says he will continue to evaluate the situation daily and discuss with teams and parts suppliers the next best steps. As of now, he says May racing is still on.
