In auto racing

IndyCar will return to the Milwaukee Mile next season and Texas Motor Speedway is off the calendar for the first time since 1997 as part of the 2024 schedule released Monday.

The 17-race schedule features two Saturday night races, a $1 million all-star race in Southern California, 12 races aired on NBC and a shift of the season finale from the Laguna Seca road course in California to the downtown city streets of Nashville.

Gone is the traditional stop at Texas Motor Speedway – the oval has been on the schedule since IndyCar’s first full season in 1997 – as well as a shared late-summer weekend with NASCAR on the road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. NASCAR is expected to return to the oval, and IndyCar will race the Indianapolis road course only once – in May ahead of the Indianapolis 500.

Roger Penske, owner of both IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, indicated dropping Texas is likely for one year only.

In college football

Attorney Jennifer Belveal denied in a statement that Tucker’s actions were acts of moral turpitude – “by any stretch of the imagination.”
