MOTA Previews the Month of May with George Phillips
<p>The Month of May is just around the corner, it's the biggest month of the year for the IndyCar series and it's capped off with the Indy 500. Before that there's a road course raise at Indy, Indy 500 qualifying weekend, this weekend's Grand Prix of Long Beach and more. It's a busy time on track for IndyCar with a lot going on off track as well, with the impending arrival of the new hybrid engine and a new TV/streaming deal for 2025 and beyond.
