Attendance for the 2017 Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park was down slightly from last year, but still brought in a weekend crowd of 82,745.

Ticket sales were higher than previous years, but actual attendance was lower because of lingering rain throughout the weekend. (Last year's announced attendance was 83,765.)

Of special note was the fact that tickets were sold in 41 states and six countries including Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida.

Gene Hallman, CEO of Zoom Motorsports, said that he was encouraged by ticket sales.

"We are extremely encouraged by the fact that our ticket revenue has increased for the fourth straight year," Hallman said. "INDYCAR has so much positive momentum and we look forward to the continued growth of the sport."

Fans attending the 2017 race saw American Josef Newgarden win for the second time at Barber, pushing past Scott Dixon and Helio Castroneves for the win.
