IndyCar on Fox Archives

Fox’s IndyCar move into primetime pays dividends on Father’s Day

The network nearly doubled viewership for its race on Sunday versus the previous year.

It was a good idea by the Fox production crew. Just really, really bad timing.

Fox’s IndyCar camera crew got more than they bargained for in St. Louis.

The network set a 17-year high in viewership.

"Please never let Fox broadcast the Indy 500 again."

The Wienie 500 aired live on Fox Sports will go down in history as one of the greatest sporting events ever.

"It actually hinders IndyCar’s legitimacy on the global sporting platform, operating the way that we currently are"

"We’re live at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, setting the 33 car field for next Sunday’s Daytona 500, Indianapolis! 500"

The network has not been shy about utilizing Brady to promote the racing circuit.

Most notably, IndyCar will now race in primetime on Father's Day.

Fans missed about 20 minutes of The Thermal Club IndyCar Grand Prix on Fox.

The Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg was the most-watched IndyCar race in 14 years, excluding the Indianapolis 500.

"There’s potential to get more crossover between both series."

IndyCar vets Townsend Bell and James Hinchcliffe will join familiar F1 voice Will Buxton as Fox's announcing trio for the 2025 season.

Other professional sports leagues should take notes. This is how you market your sport's stars.

The network has also held talks with other talents.

IndyCar looks set to move from NBC to Fox beginning in 2025.
