The eighth installment of the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 takes place at the Madison, Illinois 1.25-mile oval on Saturday, August 17, 2024. Although the start time of the race has yet to be determined, the governing body did announce that the showcase will be held at night under the lights.
One major change in the series’ 17-race docket next year is the subtraction of the annual event held at Texas Motor Speedway, which hosted IndyCar features since 1997. According to officials at the Lone Star-state superspeedway, neither the facility nor series’ brass could agree on a 2024 date.
In its absence, the open-wheeled sport returns to the Milwaukee Mile for the first time since 2015. A double-header event is slotted for Labor Day weekend.
The flavor overall next season is heavily Midwestern as 11 out of 17 races will be held within the region. Alongside Gateway and Milwaukee, the series makes stops at Indianapolis, Detroit, Nashville, Iowa, Mid-Ohio and Wisconsin’s Road America.
