Race 1 Postponed for Inclement Weather at Indianapolis Motor Speedway

INDIANAPOLIS (June 14, 2025) – Formula Regional Americas Championship (FR Americas) was scheduled to run its first race of the Indy SpeedTour weekend on Saturday afternoon, but unfortunately, Mother Nature had different plans. After welcoming fans to join the drivers on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's pit lane for a pre-race fan walk, the skies opened just as drivers began buckling into their cars. With persistent heavy rain and lightning, conditions were deemed unsafe and the race was officially postponed. 

The championship will continue with two rounds tomorrow, as originally scheduled, while today’s postponed race will be rescheduled for next week at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

FR Americas will take to the track tomorrow at 9:40 a.m. ET. The event will stream live on SpeedTour.TV, and live timing and scoring will be available on the Race Monitor app. Additional news and updates from the weekend will be posted on the series’ Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Article: The Founders: Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Indeed, Indianapolis Motor Speedway—still the most important automobile race track in North America—was a collaboration between four members of the Zig-Zag Bicycling Club of Indianapolis.
