IndyCar is not like indie movies. Or indie music. But it would be funny if it was. Because if it was, one way it would be would be us having an entire genre of music named for Indianapolis and an entire genre of film named for the same.
Where It Is
The Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama is taking place at Barber Motorsports Park, which in the Birmingham metro. Road course. Lot of road courses in open-wheel racing.
When It Is
Green flag at 3:42 PM EDT, I just saw.

Who to Watch
Jimmie Johnson’s making his IndyCar debut, so that’s fun. NASCAR Jimmie Johnson, to be clear. Not football Jimmy Johnson. That would arguably be more fun.
It looks like Alexander Rossi and Patricio O’Ward are cofavorites at PointsBet, each at +340. I’m seeing Will Power at +625, Scott Dixon at +750, and Josef Newgarden at +1100. Then Alex Palou’s at +1300, Colton Hurt’s at +1800, and everyone else is at +2500 or worse.
