Pato O'Ward: IndyCar needs to stop being a support race

2025 IndyCar runner-up Pato O'Ward expressed frustration over the series being treated like a support event during the upcoming St. Petersburg weekend alongside NASCAR.

The weekend in St. Petersburg will be different for IndyCar, and for Pato O’Ward, the 2025 season runner-up, it is necessary to establish a difference between his series and NASCAR, specifically with the truck category.

Although the "doubleheader" format is a hit among fans, the experience from the cockpit is different for drivers, highlighting the need to elevate the series' status.
