The arrival of March could only mean one thing: it's the month of racing comebacks, and IndyCar is one of them. The 2026 season kicked off in the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, for the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
The first 100 laps of the 2026 season are packed with unforgettable moments; this season opener delivered. The opening lap saw a crash that got Santino Feruccio, Sting Ray Robb, and Mick Schumacher. Lap 12 saw David Malukas sustaining front left damage after hitting the wall, while Lap 24 saw Will Power throwing in the towel for the damaged rear suspension following his collision. Lap 40 saw Scott Dixon lose a wheel.

After an intense season opener, Alex Palou drew first blood by beating Scott McLaughlin and Christian Lundgaard to win the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. It's deja vu from last season for Palou with his first win of the new season.
The next race is at Phoenix, Arizona, for the Good Ranchers 250 this March 7, 2026.
