The lineup of 24 cars will remain unchanged on the entry list from the 2021 season opener as the NTT IndyCar Series moves from Alabama to Florida for Sunday’s Firestone Grand Prix of St. Pete (noon ET, NBC).
Seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson (who will be running 13 road and street courses this season but could make his Indy 500 debut next year) will make his second start after finishing 19th at Barber Motorsports Park in his IndyCar debut.
St. Pete will mark the seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion’s first start on a street course (and unlike Barber, Johnson was unable to test at St. Pete).
Alex Palou became a first-time IndyCar winner at Barber, while Pato O’Ward finished fourth from the pole in bidding for his first victory. O’Ward finished second to Josef Newgarden at St. Pete in last October’s 2020 season finale.
