Masks not required as IndyCar allows fans to attend race for first time

Motor racing fans were out in their thousands on Saturday for the opening race of a weekend doubleheader at Road America in Wisconsin, with IndyCar welcoming fans to its races for the first time this season. The series is treating each event separately, guided by local and state regulations.

Fans received temperature checks at gates and received masks and hand sanitizer as they entered. Wearing a mask was encouraged but not required, and a stroll through along the Road America property indicated the majority of spectators were spending at least part of the time unmasked.
