NTT IndyCar Series Betting
It’s the silver anniversary of the IndyCar Series. The top open wheel racing series in America is now 25 years old, and open wheel racing is closing in on another milestone. This is the 99th year of open wheel racing in the United States. Although the sport doesn’t get as much attention as NASCAR, it showcases arguably the most famous race in the United States in the Indy 500. The 104th Running of the Indianapolis 500 is slated to take place on August 23, 2020, and it will be the marquee event of the year.
IndyCar Series History
The IndyCar Series is the fifth open wheel racing circuit to be founded in the United States. The AAA Contest Board was the original governing body of the sport in America, and they were replaced by the USAC in 1956. CART split off and formed their own circuit in 1979, and that became Champ Car in 2004. When the IndyCar Series acquired Champ Car in 2008, that ended nearly three decades of in-fighting in the sport.
There are four types of tracks that are used in the IndyCar Series. The most famous courses are the traditional ovals like the Indy 500, but there are permanent road courses as well. Taking a page from Formula One, there are temporary street courses in some locations, and there are also combined road/oval courses like the IndyCar Grand Prix.

Scott Dixon is the most successful driver in the short history of the IndyCar Series. He has won five titles between 2003 and 2018, surpassing Dario Franchitti as the most accomplished driver on the circuit. Franchitti won four titles in a span of five years, but his career was cut short in 2013 when a serious crash at the Grand Prix of Houston led to his immediate retirement from the sport.
