INDYCAR and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course have agreed to postpone The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio scheduled for Aug. 7-9 until a date to be determined in September or October. This decision was made through communication with local health officials given the current environment.

Our team continues to work with all of our partners and our local government to identify a date later this year when we can host The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio. More information will be forthcoming as it becomes available. Visit midohio.com for ongoing updates.

We appreciate the patience and understanding of our fans as we navigate this postponement. Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course

The move leaves IndyCar with 12 total races on the calendar, and, with a stated goal of holding 14 rounds, the need to eventually run the doubleheader at Mid-Ohio, or to find two more events. Maybe they can run 5 races at IMS instead of 3 this year.
