Race fans can access various areas through pit and paddock passes at IndyCar events. While St. Petersburg and Mid-Ohio currently offer pit passes for 2025, other venues may add access options as the season approaches.

PREMA Racing will use number 83 for Robert Shwartzman and 90 for Callum Ilott. At A.J. Foyt Racing, David Malukas may receive the number 4 car, with Kyffin Simpson moving to number 8.

Dale Coyne Racing expects to announce their full driver lineup by late January. With Abel confirmed, Rinus VeeKay remains a possibility if funding can be secured since he doesn't bring sponsorship.

Regarding Michael Andretti's departure from IndyCar, sources indicate he has maintained distance since clearing out late last year, marking the end of 60 years of Andretti presence in the series. This absence may impact attendance and viewer engagement more significantly than anticipated.
