The event, located just outside of Palm Springs, California, will feature a two-day Open Test, along with group qualifying sessions, two heat races and a 12-car “all-star” battle for a purse of $1.756 million – the largest purse for an IndyCar Series race outside of the Indianapolis 500.
A non-points paying event, this will mark the first time since 2008 (Surfers Paradise, Australia) that IndyCar a race that does not count toward the championship.
