After a fun-filled kick-off on Friday, the second day of the 50th annual Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach is officially underway. While crowds are typically smaller on the first day of the Grand Prix, with its light schedule and folks still tied up in work and school — Saturday and Sunday tend to draw massive crowds.

Nearly 200,000 spectators are anticipated to attend the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach Sunday. The excitement began building on Saturday, with drivers taking to the track for practice runs and qualifying rounds in preparation for the main event.

Reigning Long Beach Grand Prix champion Scott Dixon is eager to win what he calls one of the best IndyCar Series races, but he says it won't be easy.
