IndyCar Grand Prix of Long Beach: How to watch, start times, TV, schedules, streaming

IndyCar Long Beach start times: Josef Newgarden has a unique shot at doubling up on a doubleheader in Sunday’s Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach (NBC, 3 p.m. ET).

The two-time NTT IndyCar Series champion won Texas and Long Beach back to back last season, and he was a repeat winner April 2 at Texas. He is aiming to become the first driver to win consecutive IndyCar races at Long Beach since Alexander Rossi in 2018-19.

Last year marked Newgarden’s first victory at Long Beach, where he held off a late charge by Romain Grosjean.

Alex Palou finished third last season at Long Beach, and the 2021 series champion is coming off a third at Texas that was his best result on an oval since the 2021 Indy 500.
