Players will compete for race-by-race and season-long prizes in the game developed by new INDYCAR partner Fantrax. This year’s fantasy challenge has added features including the ability for players to track how their team is doing in each NTT IndyCar Series race in real time.

“INDYCAR is looking to grow our sport and our fanbase,” said Ivan Cropper, senior director of marketing at INDYCAR. “By partnering with Fantrax, we want to reach fantasy sports players who have previously played other fantasy sports, have them try our league, become loyal fans and ultimately tune in or even attend races.

“We also will receive a much wider audience for our fantasy product through Fantrax, while still being able to offer private leagues, great prizes and fun for our devoted fans.”

Based in Toronto, Fantrax operates successful free fantasy leagues across the broadest set of sports and leagues. Adding the INDYCAR Fantasy Challenge to its list was an easy decision to make.

“At Fantrax, we realize that many fantasy sports players want to play more than just fantasy football, baseball, basketball and hockey,” said Lee Kleiner, founder and CEO of Fantrax. “Being able to introduce those fans to the INDYCAR Fantasy Challenge driven by Firestone will give our new partners incredible exposure and help grow their fanbase. At the same time, bringing the hundreds of thousands of loyal INDYCAR fantasy players onto the Fantrax.com platform is great for us.”
