2008 Indy Racing

When fans of motorsports talk about IRL races, those letters stand for Indy Racing League. The 'Indy' part, of course, is short for Indianapolis, and that in turn is a nod to the Granddaddy of open-wheel races, the Indianapolis 500. The Indy Racing League is the governing body for two annual series of races, the IndyCar Series itself (aka IRL) and the Indy Pro Series, a developmental series for the IndyCar.

Besides the Indy 500, a mainstay of Memorial Day weekend, there are currently 13 other IRL races over a span of 25 weeks from March to September. Most take place on oval tracks which also host NASCAR races; however, the Indy Japan 300 takes place at the Twin Ring Motegi in Japan, and IRL races in St. Petersburg, Florida; near Watkins Glen, New York; and at Infineon Raceway near Sonoma, California, are road races.

Wherever your Indy Racing tickets take you, you'll be witnessing some of the fastest and most exciting racing there is!
