IndyCar discussed changing its championship format similar to NASCAR
IndyCar discussed changing its championship format similar to NASCAR The NTT IndyCar Series is nearing the start of its 2025 season, and the sport has never been in a better spot. FOX Sports will begin its deal as the sole provider of IndyCar coverage this year and has done an incredible job marketing the upcoming season. However, the new TV deal with FOX Sports reportedly wasn't the only significant change mulled for 2025. According to IndyStar's Nathan Brown, IndyCar discussed changing its championship format to a similar system used in NASCAR. Scott Borchetta, the former promoter of IndyCar's season finale at Nashville Superspeedway, approached the sport about the idea to ensure the championship was decided in the last event. IndyCar discussed the idea of a smaller playoff system similar to NASCAR, but Penske Entertainment and its stakeholders determined that change was unnecessary. Brown noted that none of the format changes were given more than an exploratory look. For now, IndyCar will continue with its current full-season format, which has worked for several years with excellent returns.
