IndyCar has moved what was supposed to be its season-opening race in St. Petersburg, Florida, to April 25.
The race through the downtown city streets had been scheduled to start the new season for a 10th consecutive year on March 7.
IndyCar's season opener will now be held at Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama on April 11.
The switch gives St. Petersburg promoters hope that more spectators will be permitted to attend the popular street festival as pandemic restrictions loosen.
IndyCar previously rescheduled the Grand Prix of Long Beach from April until September because of restrictions in California.
