The race format for today’s Indy NXT race at Iowa Speedway has been reduced from 75 to 55 laps following issues the teams were dealt with during Friday’s practice session. Several teams in the paddock encountered blistering after the opening half of practice, with the likes of HMD Motorsports and Abel Motorsports encountering right-rear tire problems and Andretti Global suffering right-front woes.
