Five drivers battling for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship at the season’s final race – the most in a regular-points season finale since 2003 – was only part of the sport’s upward trajectory in 2022. The Hy-Vee INDYCAR Race Weekend featured a doubleheader for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and a single event for INDY NXT presented by Firestone on the fast oval. Half of the season’s 16 races on television delivered more than 1 million viewers each, the highest mark since 2008. Many commercial partners joined INDYCAR or NTT INDYCAR SERIES teams or extended pacts with both in 2022. Among the initiatives announced was Shell’s 100% Renewable Race Fuel to be introduced in 2023.
