The NTT IndyCar Series finally returns this week, with the second practice session ahead of the 2025 season opener taking place on Saturday.
Coming back off a break that stretches all the way back to September, IndyCar is arguably now easier to watch than ever, with a blockbuster new TV deal with Fox Sports setting up an incredible year for the series.
Alex Palou is coming into the season off the back off three titles in the last four years, with the Chip Ganassi Racing star looking to hold off a star-studded field to continue his dominance – and this weekend will be a great first indicator.
With that said, let's get into all of the details you need to know about Saturday's St. Pete action.
The second practice session of the season starts on Friday, February 28th, 2025, at 10 am (ET). Here are the full IndyCar St. Pete times for the day converted to your time zone.
