This event was to be contested on the 1.520 mi km on oval but due to the damage which was brought to the oval during the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, six months earlier, the series decided to replace the event from the damaged oval to the still intact road course. It was the first and final Indycar race to be run on the road course, the last Indycar race to be held at Twin Ring Motegi, and the last Indycar race to be held in Japan. The race was won by Scott Dixon.https://www.espn.co.uk/racing/indycar/story/_/id/6988450/indycar-series-scott-dixon-won-motegi-power-was-big-winner Dixon wins; Power pulls ahead John Oreovicz ESPN September 18, 2011 February 27, 2024 March 2, 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20230302090513/https://www.espn.co.uk/racing/indycar/story/_/id/6988450/indycar-series-scott-dixon-won-motegi-power-was-big-winner dead left|thumb|Takuma Sato at the 2011 Indy Japan 300 References Indy Japan: The Final Indy Japan: The Final Category:Indy Japan 300 Category:September 2011 sports events in Japan
