2020 REV Group Grand Prix

The 2020 REV Group Grand Prix Doubleheader is an IndyCar Series event scheduled July 11–12, 2020. It makes up the third and fourth rounds of the series' 2020 season. The race was originally scheduled for June 21, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the weekend was turned in to a double-header event in an effort to make up for races outright cancelled by the pandemic.[1] The race was also the first event of the 2020 season to allow spectators at the track, with track promoters allowing unrestricted attendance.[2]
