The Thermal Club will play host to the $1,000,000 Million Challenge on March 24 of the 2024 NTT IndyCar Series season.

The 3.067-mile private motor club located outside of Palm Springs, Ca hosted IndyCar’s spring training session last January. The facility features luxury homes, a motorsport themed village and restaurants.

The test was considered a success which paved the way to hosting the all-star event.

“The experience the teams had at The Thermal Club was second to none,” INDYCAR President Jay Frye said. “We treated it like a preseason scrimmage, and, looking back, it was the perfect launch to this record-breaking season.

“The facility is spectacular, and we cannot wait to return and showcase INDYCAR in a whole new way.”

“After having a smooth 2023 NTT INDYCAR SERIES test, we are proud to welcome INDYCAR back to The Thermal Club during the 2024 season,” said John Rogers, owner, The Thermal Club. “The teams, drivers and the entire INDYCAR SERIES paddock are true professionals, and we look forward to developing our relationship with them in the future. This marquee racing showcase in March promises to be special for everyone, including spectators, Thermal members and race fans tuning in at home.”

The race’s format includes one qualifying session and two heat races with the top six advancing to the main event. One million dollars will be awarded to the race winner with the remainder of the top five splitting their earnings with a Thermal Club member.

A limited number of tickets will be sold.
