Road America start times: The NTT IndyCar Series will race Sunday (noon ET, NBCSN) at the picturesque Road America circuit for the REV Group Grand Prix, the ninth round of the 2021 season.

Chip Ganassi Racing swept a pair of races held last year at the 14-turn, 4.014-mile road course in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, winning with Scott Dixon and Felix Rosenqvist.

Dixon, Sebastien Bourdais, Josef Newgarden, Will Power and Alexander Rossi are former winners at the track in the field. Rosenqvist, who still is recovering from a violent crash in Detroit last week, will be replaced in the No. 7 Dallara-Chevrolet by Kevin Magnussen.

Rinus Veekay (broken clavicle) also will miss the race with Oliver Askew substituting for the second consecutive race.
