MOORESVILLE, N.C. – The twice postponed NTT IndyCar Series Honda Indy 200, scheduled for this Sept. 12-13 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, has been given the green light for next weekend.
At 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday, IndyCar officials issued the following statement:
“The NTT IndyCar Series will run at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course next weekend, with doubleheader races scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 12 and Sunday, Sept. 13. We look forward to an exciting weekend of racing action at an excellent venue.
“Green Savoree Racing Promotions will contact customers soon with guidance regarding event attendance.
“Saturday’s race will be broadcast on NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) starting at 4:30 p.m. ET. Sunday’s race will be broadcast on NBC beginning at 1 p.m. ET.”
IndyCar and Green Savoree Promotions have been awaiting guidance from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine on how many spectators will be allowed to attend the doubleheader at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Earlier this week, Governor DeWine gave the Columbus Crew professional soccer team permission to have 1,500 fans or 15 percent of fixed capacity to attend its events. On Saturday, the Governor granted both the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals to have 6,000 fans at its first two home games of the National Football League season.
It remains unclear how many spectators will be allowed to attend the two IndyCar races at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course next weekend.
