The Indianapolis Star reported the changes were made to avoid competition for TV ratings with other sporting events like NASCAR races. The Star reported that the Iowa race’s time was shifted to avoid a TV conflict with NASCAR’s race at 2:30 p.m. that day.
IndyCar also moved times for races at World Wide Technology Raceway near St. Louis on June 15, Road America in Wisconsin on June 22, the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on July 6 and in Toronto on July 20.
