This weekend, we head to Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park (IRP) for the TSport 200. The race is on Friday at 8:00 PM ET on FS1. The Truck Series returned to IRP in 2022. IRP is a .686-mile oval that is considered a short-flat track. This is the same tire they’ve run here since 2022. They’ve run this tire code at North Wilkesboro this season. In 2022, there were 12 lead changes, which was on the third time in 19 races here. In 2023, there were 3 lead changes. Last season, there were 5 lead changes, and the race was dominated by three different drivers. The race winner has started inside the top 10 in 19 of 20 races here. I’ll be using recent IRP data, short-flat track data, 2025 speed, practice, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend.

Typically, with 125-130 potential dominator points, we’re looking at 2-dominator races. Both 2023 and 2022 have been 1-dominator races, with finishing position mattering a lot.
