The IndyCar race scheduled in Nashville has experienced a significant delay due to the World Cup Final facing Spain and Argentina, aired live on FOX in the United States. The start, initially set for 5:35 PM EST, has been postponed to allow the coverage of the match to take priority.
As the match progresses, with a 0-0 tie in the extra time of 30 minutes, race officials have indicated they will maintain the green flag should the match extend further. If there is no quick resolution, the race engines may ignite around 6:15 PM EST.
However, the delay is not the only external factor that could affect the race. Storms in the area also threaten to impact the development of the competition.
Once the start is given, Kyle Kirkwood will commence from the first position, attempting to close the 55-point gap between him and the reigning champion, Alex Palou, who will start fourth. Beside Kirkwood, in the front row, is Josef Newgarden, winner of the last oval race at the WWT Raceway.
The complete starting grid features notable names such as Scott McLaughlin in third position, followed by Palou fourth and Scott Dixon in fifth place.
