The Grand Prix of Portland featuring the NTT INDYCAR SERIES will return to Portland International Raceway (PIR) through at least 2023, according to an announcement by the City of Portland and Green Savoree Portland LLC. 

The 2021 date will be announced later this year. The 2020 event was canceled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and Oregon’s statewide restrictions on public gatherings.

“We are very pleased to have ‘Portland’s Fastest Park,’ the Portland International Raceway, hosting the Grand Prix of Portland NTT INDYCAR SERIES race for three additional years,” Portland Parks & Recreation Director Adena Long said. “The Grand Prix has established itself as a summer tradition as Portlanders enjoy the festival atmosphere, the cars, and camaraderie. We look to 2021 through 2023 with great anticipation.”

According to Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, the event contributes $12-15 million in economic benefits for the city. 

“I’m excited to see this premier race in Portland for at least the next three years,” Mayor Wheeler said.
