IndyCar calls off the Friday practice session at the new Markham street course because construction work is still ongoing. The session is postponed while crews continue finishing the track.
All outlets describe the same immediate cause: the circuit is not ready for running when the practice is scheduled. Yahoo Sports reports that construction has not been completed, leading to the decision to cancel the session. Fox Sports characterizes it as part of “unfinished business” for the Markham debut, emphasizing that the track’s incomplete state forces IndyCar to hold the event’s practice until conditions are suitable.
While the coverage does not add differing details about the specific scope of remaining construction, both accounts frame the postponement as a safety and readiness issue tied to the course not being finished on time.
