NTT INDYCAR SERIES

Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach
  • OF NOTE:
  • Team owner Michael Andretti will serve as Grand Marshal for this weekend’s Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. Andretti captured two Long Beach wins as a driver (1986, 2002), four wins as a team owner (2010, 2011, 2018, 2019) and a win as a Super Vee driver (1983). Andretti was honored permanently on the Long Beach Walk of Fame in 2010.
  • It has been almost 30 months since the NTT INDYCAR SERIES last raced in Long Beach, with the 2020 race cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2021 race moved to this September weekend from the traditional April race date.
  • Southern California native Colton Herta is fresh off a victory at Laguna Seca and will be making only his second career INDYCAR start in Long Beach.

        “I’m super excited to be back at Long Beach. This race means so much to me with it being the first INDYCAR race that I ever went to and also my home race! We’re rolling off a great result from Laguna Seca and we have a lot of momentum to end the season on a high!”
