Overview
- Rain produced a red flag after 90 laps of the Snap-On Makers and Fixers 250 on Saturday, with Pato O'Ward leading when the race was stopped.
- IndyCar set a 9:00 a.m. ET Sunday restart for the suspended race and kept the second 250-lap race on the schedule for 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.
- Officials require at least 126 laps for the 250-lap event to be official and have told teams they cannot add fuel or change tires if the race resumes in the morning.
- The delay reshuffled competitive stakes because earlier nine-place engine-change penalties pushed Pato O'Ward toward the front and left Alex Palou waiting to see if he can clinch the title.
- Track-drying efforts failed Saturday evening, teams are preparing for a compressed operational day that may require repairs between events, and IndyCar has a 10:25 a.m. ET cutoff and a contingency plan if the suspended race cannot finish in the morning.
