Get ready for heart-pounding action as the NTT Indycar Series hits The Thermal Club near Palm Springs, California, for the Thermal Million Challenge. With a staggering $1.75 million purse, including a jaw-dropping $500,000 for the winner, this non-points event promises high stakes and intense racing.
The event kicks off with an exhilarating main race, consisting of two 10-lap segments separated by a 10-minute break. The excitement builds as drivers like Alex Palou and Felix Rosenqvist line up on the front row, poised to battle it out on the track.
As the green flag waves, Palou surges ahead, quickly establishing himself as the frontrunner. Meanwhile, Colton Herta adopts a bold strategy, deliberately slowing down to conserve energy and play the long game.
