The Indianapolis 500 is racing to Fox after circling the track many years at NBC
IndyCar announced Thursday that Fox would become the new home of the NTT IndyCar Series and the iconic race starting in 2025. The new pact means Fox will have rights to two of auto-racing’s best known events — the Indianapolis 500 and the Daytona 500, part of NASCAR.
“Adding the iconic Indianapolis 500 and delivering the entire NTT IndyCar Series to the Fox Sports roster fits perfectly within our model of teaming with sports’ largest events and best-in-class brands,” said Eric Shanks, CEO of Fox Sports and its executive producer. “We’re honored to be the new broadcast home to ‘The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,’ an incredibly special event to everyone at Fox Sports.”
