The 2008 IndyCar Series season was the 1st season of the unified IndyCar Series. Its premier event was the 92nd Indianapolis 500 on May 25. The first race was held March 29, at Homestead. It was the 97th recognized season of top-level American open wheel racing. All races were televised on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPN Classic. All IndyCar Series broadcasts continued to utilize the popular Side-By-Side format in their first year of HD broadcasts. Races were also broadcast on the IMS Radio Network and XM. On February 26, 2008, the managements of IRL and Champ Car came to an agreement to become one entity. The move effectively ended a twelve-year split and reunited American open wheel racing. Scott Dixon driving for Chip Ganassi Racing won the first unified title for 13 years after completing the IndyCar–Indy 500 double. Dixon was the driver with the largest amount of race wins with six victories over the course of the season but had to fend off a consistent championship challenge from Hélio Castroneves during the final round at Chicagoland Speedway. ==2008 IndyCar Series schedule== 3B - The race at Long Beach was the last event sanctioned by Champ Car World Series.
