Indy betting focuses on the Indy Racing League (IRL) which is the sanctioning body for an open-wheel racing series in the US. The Indy Racing League sanctions three racing series, the Indy Car Series (part of which is the popular Indianapolis 500) and the Firestone Indy Lights which is a special and official development series. And the third series, the U.S F2000 National Championship is also gaining popularity both here and in the USA.

All the series run a point system to determine the ranking of different drivers. To reach 1st place 50 points are required while the lowest ranking of 33rd place requires just 10 points. The Indy Racing League isn't as popular as Nascar so watching races is more difficult and TV and radio coverage of the series is less extensive. However, prominent events are still easy to follow online or on specialist TV channels.

Betting on Indy events is easy too because you can see the odds for different drivers online and choose someone to back based on their driving history. Then, all you need to do is sit back, relax and watch (or listen to) your chosen drivers tear-up the track and overtake the other competitors.

If you're already a big fan of Indy racing, by visiting the Indy Racing League website you can keep up-to-date on news and upcoming races as well as find information on where you can watch or listen to the races. There's also real time coverage available online, through the official website via the IMS streaming Indy Racing League radio station. So, place your bets and let's see who wins!
