ℹ️ About Madison
The Bommarito Automotive Group 500 brings IndyCar racing to World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois. This Madison IndyCar event features 260 laps across 325 miles on the unique 1.25-mile oval track. Gateway Motorsport Park offers an egg-shaped circuit with different banking in each corner. Drivers face technical challenges in turns 1 and 2, which resemble New Hampshire Motor Speedway, while turns 3 and 4 share characteristics with Phoenix Raceway.
The Madison race weekend includes INDY NXT and USAC Silver Crown competitions. Fans can participate in track walks, attend driver autograph sessions, and access garage areas. IndyCar teams compete with Dallara chassis powered by Chevrolet or Honda engines on Firestone tires.
For 2025, the Madison IndyCar event introduces technical updates including two-stage pit speed limits for oval tracks. Drivers can use the hybrid system to restart stalled engines in pit lane. The cars display yellow flag warnings on dashboards, and a new 'pair up' location compacts the field before restarts.
Gateway Motorsport Park has a rich history in Madison. The facility began as a drag strip in 1967. The oval track opened in 1997, hosting CART and later Indy Racing League events. After closing in 2010, the track reopened in 2011. IndyCar racing returned to Madison in 2017 following a track repaving. Josef Newgarden leads all drivers with five Gateway victories.
The Madison circuit sits on former swampland, earning its nickname "The Swamp." Beyond IndyCar, the track hosts NASCAR and NHRA drag racing. This combination of varied corner designs and track surface makes the Gateway Motorsport Park IndyCar race a true test of driver skill and car setup.
