The 10th race of the 2018 IndyCar season is the Kohler Grand Prix, and it is set to take place this Sunday at Road America. Here is the entry list for that race.
The Kohler Grand Prix is the 10th of 17 races on the 2018 IndyCar schedule. It is set to take place this Sunday, June 24 at the 14-turn, 4.048-mile (6.515-kilometer) Road America road course in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. The race is the third of six road course races on the schedule, and it is the seventh of 11 road or street course races on the schedule.
There are a total of 23 drivers on the entry list for the Kohler Grand Prix. One of the first nine races of the season featured 33 drivers, while three of those nine races featured 24 drivers. As a result of this, the total of 23 drivers on the entry list for this race is tied for fifth place among the driver totals on the entry lists for all of the races that have been held so far this season.
Other races that have included exactly 23 drivers so far this season include the races at ISM Raceway, Barber Motorsports Park, and both of the races on the streets of Belle Isle. Only one of the first nine races of the season featured fewer than 23 drivers on the entry list, and that race was the most recent race at Texas Motor Speedway, which featured only 22 drivers.
