The Grand Prix of Boston was a proposed
IndyCar Series race scheduled to be first held on September 4,
2016.[1] The race was to have taken place on a 2.25 mile route along the
South Boston Seaport.[2]
The event was replaced on the 2016 IndyCar Series schedule by a race at
Watkins Glen.[7][8]
After the cancellation, the CEO of the Boston Grand Prix, John F. Casey, appeared in U.S. Bankruptcy Court to account for the project's funds.[9] In 2021, Casey, who had also served as chief financial officer of the Boston Grand Prix, pleaded guilty to multiple counts of wire fraud, aggravated
identity theft, money laundering, and filing false tax returns.[10]
