IndyCar postpones Milwaukee midway through due to rain; to have 2 races Sunday
Heavy rain forced IndyCar to halt the Milwaukee Mile race after 90 laps, marking the second delay this season.
Milwaukee, WI – The first of two IndyCar races at the Milwaukee Mile was abruptly halted Saturday due to persistent rain, prompting organizers to reschedule for Sunday. The race, the Snap-On Makers and Fixers 250, was red-flagged after 90 laps, forcing all cars to be rolled back to the pits. It will now conclude with the final 160 laps at 9 a.m. Sunday, broadcast on FS1.
The second race, the Snap-On Milwaukee Mile 250, is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Fox. Arrow McLaren's Pato O' Ward took the lead after 90 laps, followed by Felix Rosenqvist and Alexander Rossi. This marks the second instance of an IndyCar season race being cut short on the same day it was supposed to occur, following a delay in July's Music City Grand Prix due to heavy rain in Tennessee.
