There are 27 cars on the entry list for this 100-lap race around the 14-turn, 1.8-mile temporary St. Petersburg street circuit, the track which has hosted the season opener in 12 of the last 15 seasons.
Marcus Ericsson won last year’s race, the fourth time he's gone to victory lane, including the 2022 Indianapolis 500. This week, Ericsson will race against Andretti Global for the first time.
Alex Palou is a two-time champion but he's looking to earn his first win in Petersburg.
