The Indy Pro Series will feature a record 16 races,
divided evenly among oval and road course
rounds, for 2008. The development series will
visit eight ovals and conduct doubleheaders at
each of four road or street courses.
The series opens once again at Miami-
Homestead Speedway on March 29 before a
doubleheader on the streets of St. Petersburg.
A unique event will be a same-day
doubleheader at Watkins Glen on July 6. The
Indy Pro Series racers will have a chance to
perform on their biggest stage on Carb Day,
the Friday before the 92nd running of the
Indianapolis 500.
“Just like the IndyCar Series, our champion
will have to succeed on all types of racing
circuits from short ovals, speedways and the
2.5-mile oval at Indianapolis to road and street
courses.” says Indy Pro Series Executive Director
Roger Bailey. “The opportunity to compete on
Carb Day at Indianapolis in front of more than
100,000 fans is an experience that is second to
none for our drivers, teams and sponsors.”
The 16-race IndyCar Series season,
including the 92nd Indianapolis 500, will be
broadcast in high definition on ESPN, ESPN2
and ABC. The 2008 schedule, ESPN’s 13th as
the IndyCar Series television partner, includes
seven events each on ABC and ESPN2 and two
on ESPN. The networks also will cover
Indianapolis 500 qualifying May 10-11 and
17-18. The Indy Pro Series broadcast schedule
will be announced early in 2008.
