INDYCAR’s 2024 race schedule does not include Texas Motor Speedway, ending an association with the NTT IndyCar Series that began with the track’s initial season in 1997.

Announced in a release Monday morning from Indianapolis, the 17-race schedule drops TMS’ high-banked/1.5-mile layout from its most recent slot as the lone oval event leading into Month of May activities at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, site of next May’s 108th Indianapolis 500.

Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden won the NTT IndyCar Series PPG 375 at TMS on April 1, first race of a reported new, three-year contract between the sanctioning body and Speedway Motorsports.
