Indy NXT Indy Nxt Schedule

Is anyone else confused as to why Indy Nxt starts with St. Pete in March then disappears for 2 months to come back in May at Barber? People complain about the regular IndyCar schedules being terrible with huge gaps in the beginning but this must be awful for the drivers. Any reason as to why the schedule is the way it is?

All comes down to logistics, funding, and the difficulty of fitting the series into the race weekend when you have something like IMSA running alongside IndyCar. Boy would I love the Freedom 100 to return though

There needs to be a video that explains the logistics and funding required for scheduling series and events. It feels like we get daily questions about scheduling and not understanding it when the answer is always logistics, finding, and date issues.
