  Indy Racing League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The League consists of two series, the IndyCar Series (usually considered synonymous with the Indy Racing League) and the Indy Pro Series, which is the developmental series for IndyCar.
While the league's race broadcasts struggle to find an audience, this is counterbalanced by the improved and increased TV coverage and improving attendance at many events.
Unlike road racing venues, the lack of run-offs on oval tracks, coupled with higher, sometimes far higher, speeds due to the long straightaways and symmetrical turns, means that there is simply far less margin for error.
