NTT IndyCar Series 2022 - Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg

The NTT IndyCar Series returns for its 2022 season at the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, and what better way to kick off another season of America's favorite open-wheel racing series than witnessing another IndyCar history made?

Scott McLaughlin leads the grid to the starting line and when the race begins the first 100 laps of the season has begun with some intense action for the drivers. After 25 laps, David Malukas's promising day in St. Pete is in shambles following a crash that triggered the yellow flag. Come lap 28, there has been some sort of drama in the pit stop following McLaughlin and Will Power leaving the pits. With 28 laps left of this race, Rinus Veekay got involved in a mishap but no caution triggered. As the climax approaches, the drivers go all-out.
