INDYCAR
Celebrating speed, precision and innovation – hallmarks in racing and modern agriculture – Sukup Manufacturing Co. and INDYCAR announced May 28 the race names for the two NTT INDYCAR SERIES 275-lap races during the upcoming Sukup INDYCAR Race Weekend, July 11-13 at Iowa Speedway.
The Saturday, July 12 race in Iowa will be the Synk 275 (5 p.m. ET, FOX, FOX Sports app, INDYCAR Radio Network) while the race Sunday, July 13 will be the Farm to Finish 275 (1 p.m. ET, FOX, FOX Sports App, INDYCAR Radio Network) at the 'Fastest Short Track on the Planet.'
As a family-owned leader in grain storage and handling solutions, Sukup – title sponsor of Sukup INDYCAR Race Weekend – will bring its legacy of innovation to its home track as the Sheffield, Iowa-based company will highlight American farmers and the cutting-edge technologies that support the farming industry during the event.
Saturday's NTT INDYCAR SERIES race will focus on Sukup's latest advancements in grain management systems. Honoring Sukup's revolutionary Synk product line, which unifies grain monitoring and measurement systems into one streamlined, easy-to-use platform, the Synk 275 will serve as the 11th round of the 17-race NTT INDYCAR SERIES season.
Focused on celebrating and supporting America's grain farmers, Sunday's Farm to Finish 275 will close out what promises to be an action-packed weekend at the unique, .894-mile oval in Newton, Iowa.
Iowa Speedway's doubleheader weekend – the only on the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES schedule – is set to deliver even more high-speed drama in 2025. Both NTT INDYCAR SERIES races will be extended to 275 laps, 25 more than last year's twin 250-lap contests.
This change increases each race distance from approximately 218 to 240 miles and is part of a broader initiative by INDYCAR and FOX Sports to enhance the fan experience by lengthening six of the 17 races on this year's NTT INDYCAR SERIES schedule. The goal is to amplify the intensity, the strategy and the spectacle that define INDYCAR racing.

Oreo maker Mondelez sues Aldi, alleging grocery chain copies its packaging to confuse customers
Snack food maker Mondelez International is suing the Aldi supermarket chain, alleging the packaging for Aldi's store-brand cookies and crackers 'blatantly copies' Mondelez products like Chips Ahoy, Wheat Thins and Oreos. In a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Illinois, Chicago-based Mondelez said Aldi's packaging was 'likely to deceive and confuse customers' and threatened to irreparably harm Mondelez and its brands. The company is seeking monetary damages and a court order that would stop Aldi from selling products that infringe on its trademarks. A message seeking comment was left Thursday with Aldi. In the lawsuit, Mondelez displayed side-by-side photos of multiple products. Aldi's Thin Wheat crackers, for example, come in a gold box very similar to Mondelez's Wheat Thins. Aldi's chocolate sandwich cookies and Oreos both have blue packaging. The supermarket's Golden Round crackers and Mondelez's Ritz crackers are packaged in red boxes. Aldi, a German discount chain with U.S. headquarters in Batavia, Illinois, keeps prices low by primarily selling products under its own labels. The chain has faced lawsuits over its packaging before. Last year, an Australian court found that Aldi infringed on the copyright of Baby Bellies snack puffs for young children. In that case, Aldi's packaging featured a cartoon owl and similar colors to the name-brand packaging. Earlier this year, a U.K. appeals court ruled in favor of Thatchers, a cider company, which sued Aldi over design similarities in the packaging of its lemon cider. Mondelez said in its lawsuit that the company had contacted Aldi on numerous occasions about 'confusingly similar packaging.' Mondelez said Aldi discontinued or changed the packaging on some items but continued to sell others. The lawsuit also alleges that Aldi infringed on Mondalez's trade dress rights for the packaging of Nutter Butter and Nilla Wafers cookies, and its Premium cracker brand.
