The 2020 Bommarito Automotive Group 500 was an IndyCar Series event that took place from August 29–30, 2020. It made up the eighth and ninth rounds of the 2020 IndyCar Series season. Initially scheduled to be just one race, the one 500 km race was replaced with a doubleheader weekend after cancellations of the events at Portland and Laguna Seca due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Two 200-lap, 250-mile races formed the advertised 500 mile distance.[2]
Separate entry lists were released for both events with identical participants, apart from a sponsor change for Felix Rosenqvist from NTT Data to Monster Energy.
All cars run a Dallara safety tub utilizing the IndyCar mandated Universal Aero Kit 18. All cars also will utilize Firestone tires.
