Penske-Fox Deal May Address Succession Issues At Indianapolis 500
Fox Corp. said Thursday it is acquiring one-third of Penske Entertainment, including the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the IndyCar series. The announcement deepens the business ties between Roger Penske, 88, and Rupert Murdoch, 94, the overseer of the Fox empire. The transaction may address looming succession issues at one of the most storied racing revenues in the United States. Fox Sports this year began televising Penske's IndyCar series, including the Indianapolis 500. Terms of the new deal were not disclosed. Penske Entertainment said the deal included 'a multiyear extension' of Fox Sports' media rights with IndyCar. 'This partnership is built on long-standing trust and a shared vision for the future,' Roger Penske said in a statement. Fox 'sees the incredible potential across our sport and wants to play an active role in building our growth trajectory,' he said. The deal comes at a critical time for the Indianapolis speedway and the IndyCar series. Roger Penske agreed in 2019 to acquire the speedway and the IndyCar series from the Hulman-George family, which bought the speedway in 1945. That transaction became final in early 2020. IndyCar and Championship Auto Racing Teams battled for supremacy of U.S. open-wheel racing in the 1990s and 2000s. Eventually, the Hulman-George family won the fight. During that era, the European-based Formula One series raced at the Indianapolis speedway, beginning in 2000. After several years, F1 moved on from Indy but later came back to the U.S. in a bigger way. F1 now has three U.S. races. IndyCar, meanwhile, has struggled to demonstrate it's more than the Indianapolis 500, held annually during Memorial Day weekend. In its first year on Fox, the 500 averaged 7.01 million viewers in 2025, its best showing since 2008. That was better than the almost 6.8 million viewers for the Daytona 500 in February, NASCAR's biggest race, also televised by Fox. But things weren't all joy in Penske land. Two cars owned by Penske, were forced to start from the back of this year's Indy 500 because of a cheating scandal. Penske has used racing to promote his transportation businesses. He's won a lot a lot at the Indianapolis 500 races as a team owner (20, actually). He has also been a winner in NASCAR. Still, given Penske's age, there the question of succession at Indy, both the speedway and the race series. The speedway is close to downtown Indianapolis and comprises valuable real estate. The question is whether the new deal with Fox begins to answer those succession questions. 'We're thrilled to join the IndyCar ownership group at such a pivotal time for the sport,' Eric Shanks, CEO and executive producer of Fox Sports, said in the statement. 'IndyCar represents everything we value in live sports — passionate fans, iconic venues, elite competition and year-round storytelling potential.'

Kyle Larson eyes another Brickyard 400 win as he returns to IMS hoping 'to do a much better job' than Indy 500
INDIANAPOLIS — Kyle Larson rolled into the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at 2:45 a.m. Friday morning after a night of watching his kids rip around a dirt track in Oklahoma, and even then he could feel the magic of the Racing Capital of the World. Larson's last 15 months spent at IMS have been a rollercoaster ride — the lows of a pair of attempts at the double either impacted by weather or a day-ending crash along with the highs of winning his first Brickyard 400 sandwiched in between. The Hendrick Motorsports driver enters Sunday's Crown Jewel race the defending race winner — the product of a little luck and a full head of steam racing through that final stint with no fuel save worries in the world as Larson worked his way from mid-pack to the lead as the final laps ticked away. That experience — the way in which he won and the celebrations that ensued — don't leave him approaching this weekend as the defending Brickyard 400 race winner any different, he said, but the novelty of getting to arrive late last night as the last NASCAR winner on the IMS oval isn't lost on him, either. 'I'm just happy to be back, and hopefully our car is as good again,' Larson said. 'I think it should be as fast, if not better, than it was last year, so hopefully we have good practice and good qualifying and execute a good race on Sunday.' Larson enters this weekend fresh off a result from NASCAR's most recent outing at Dover on Sunday that may not look like much in a vacuum — a fourth-place finish in a year in which Larson has won three times and finished in the top 3 six times — but it marked the No. 5 Chevrolet team's best result in two months – dating back to before Larson's second attempt at the Indianapolis 500 on Memorial Day weekend. In the five previous races, Larson's crew had finished in the top 10 just once, including a pair of road course finishes at Mexico City and Sonoma outside the top 30 at the checkered flag. Similarly, he entered last year's Brickyard 400 with a run of five races with just a single top 5. 'That was good. Hopefully that's the beginning of things turning around for us,' Larson said of Dover, 'but we'll see.' 'So lucky': North Central grad living dream, from calling Indy 500 to first Brickyard 400 on TV Larson's latest trip to IMS comes on the heels of a crash-heavy Month of May at IMS that included accidents during the April open test, practice and his second Indy 500 — the latter coming on a day where the start of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing had already been delayed, meaning he was going to have to park his car before taking the checkered flag in order to be able to get to Charlotte on time for the Coca-Cola 600. The experience eventually soured the 2021 NASCAR Cup series champion on attempting the double again before he steps away from racing full-time in Cup due to the extremely tight window between the two races the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and the way in which a little patch of weather can throw a year or more's preparation from dozens of people off-kilter. Katherine Legge: She didn't get a ride for the Indy 500. It led to running 2 NASCAR races at IMS But this weekend, it's clear those emotional scars, at least publicly, don't appear to have lingered as Larson attempts to go back-to-back, which the race's most recent winner prior to Larson, Kevin Harvick, did in 2019-20, before NASCAR's IMS weekend spent three years being held on the IMS road course. 'I always love when I drive in here at night and see the top of the Pagoda and the flags all lit up. It's really cool,' Larson said of his arrival early Friday morning. 'It's great to be back here in Indy, and hopefully back in a stock car I can do a much better job than I did in May. 'It's a privilege to get to run here and race at this facility, and I would love nothing more than to have a good run and hopefully put a bow on the double stuff with another Brickyard 400 win.'

With Recent Highs And Lows At Indy, Kyle Larson Looking Forward To Brickyard
Kyle Larson returns to Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week with great memories of his last time there in a stock car. His last time there in a race car? Not so great memories. Larson wrecked out of the Indianapolis 500 — his third wreck at the track in a span of six weeks — for a premature end to what he had hoped would be a day of 1,100 miles of racing at both Indianapolis and Charlotte on Memorial Day weekend. But as he plans to step into the Hendrick Motorsports car this weekend for the Brickyard 400, he enters as the defending winner of the Cup event on the famed oval. So will he drive through the tunnel and think of good memories of a year ago or about the frustration of May? "Both," Larson told me. "I'm happy to be going back to Indy. We were strong there last year and had some good fortune and were able to get the win." Larson will run in both the Xfinity and Cup races at Indianapolis. He is coming off a fourth-place finish at Dover, his first top five in his last six races. "I'll get to do double duty this weekend with Xfinity, also. So hopefully can have a couple good runs and get back to being consistent and get consistent finishes," Larson said. For Larson, he will look back at most of his Indy experiences — whether in a sprint car on the dirt oval inside the track or an INDYCAR or a stock car — with fondness for the challenge and the enthusiastic reception he gets from the fans. "Indy is always a good time," Larson said. Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR and INDYCAR for FOX Sports.
