As a long-time IndyCar enthusiast and someone who has attended numerous races over the years, I can confidently say that this weekend’s event at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway is particularly exciting for me. So far in the 2024 season, IndyCar has only run three oval races, but this weekend marks the first time we will see the traditional oval qualifying format. This is significant because I have always found oval races to be some of the most thrilling and unpredictable events on the IndyCar calendar. The tight competition, close racing, and high-speed action are unlike anything else in motorsports, and I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds this weekend. As a fan, I always appreciate when the series mixes things up and tries new things, and this change in qualifying format is sure to make for an even more exciting race. Bring on the ovals!
