A variety of unique elements have been blended into this weekend’s non-points race – a first for IndyCar since 2008 – at the 17-turn, 3.067-mile circuit located just outside of Palm Springs, California. For one, it is a made-for-TV event that will be broadcast Sunday at 12:30 p.m. ET on NBC, Peacock and the IndyCar Radio Network. There will also be two days of testing prior that will consist of nine hours in total and be streamed on Peacock.
