2012 IndyCar Series
The 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series was the 17th season of the IndyCar Series, and the 101st season of American open wheel racing. Its premier event was the 96th Indianapolis 500, held on Sunday, May 27. The series was sanctioned by IndyCar, and took place in three countries on two continents. Chevrolet returned to the series for the first time since 2005 while Lotus debuted, with the latter leaving the IndyCar Series after the 2012 season due to poor performance.
Unleash the Beast Series
Unleash the Beast Series (UTB) is the elite series of the Professional Bull Riders. Prior to that, the elite series was known as the Built Ford Tough Series from 2003 to 2017. As has become the tradition in recent years, the PBR elite series opens at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. The top 35 riders and top bulls compete at each event, and it culminates in the PBR World Finals at the end of the year, which currently take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the T-Mobile Arena. It includes no more than 30 events across the United States each year. Pyrotechnics, pulsating music, and special effects open each event.
