IR-28 Test Hits 218 MPH at Indy | Nascar News

IndyCar’s new IR-28 car just hit the track at Indianapolis, smashing 151 laps and flirting with 218 mph—without going full throttle. Alex Palou led Day 2 through rain delays, posting blistering 215-216 mph bursts while dialing in setup tweaks. Teams from Dallara to engine builders collaborated under shifting skies, validating their sim predictions with real-world data. Most components are production-ready, but fine-tuning remains. Next stop: Sebring’s short course, then a brutal rough-track test to prove durability.
