IndyCar's Pato O'Ward is determined to distinguish his series from NASCAR, stating he is "tired of IndyCar being like the support race" during the St. Petersburg weekend. The 2025 series runner-up believes it is essential to create a clear difference between the two as they share the stage with the NASCAR Truck series.

While the "doubleheader" format is popular among fans, O'Ward notes that the experience from the cockpit is different and requires a distinct identity to ensure IndyCar stands out.
