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.'

US hotel room construction hits 20-quarter low: CoStar
This story was originally published on Hotel Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Hotel Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: The volume of U.S. hotel rooms under construction decreased year over year for a sixth consecutive month in June, according to new CoStar data. As of last month, there were 138,922 U.S. hotel rooms under construction, a 20-quarter low, according to Isaac Collazo, senior director of analytics at CoStar subsidiary STR. The volume of rooms under construction decreased 11.9% year over year in June, per CoStar. The continued decline is not surprising given 'hotel demand trending downward, unrelenting economic uncertainty and rising construction costs,' Collazo said. Most of the rooms under construction are in the upscale and upper upscale segments, which STR previously forecasted would see the highest RevPAR growth this year, driven by changing traveler behavior. Dive Insight: The volume of U.S. hotel rooms under construction has decreased each month since January, coinciding with President Donald Trump's second term. In those months, U.S. government actions have caused economic uncertainty, and tariffs have negatively impacted construction pipelines. The volume of U.S. hotel rooms in final planning (266,276 rooms) also decreased year over year in June, albeit only by 0.1%, according to CoStar. The number of U.S. hotel rooms in the planning stage (349,802 rooms), meanwhile, increased 4.8% year over year in the month. The majority of rooms in the U.S. hotel construction pipeline are in these two planning phases, but 'many will likely not be built in the near future,' Collazo said. Of rooms currently under construction, the majority are in the upscale and upper upscale segments, according to Collazo, who also noted that more than half of all rooms under development are in the South, largely outside of the top 25 markets. Higher-tier hotel segments were a bright spot for the industry last year, driving performance as high-income households prioritized travel. That trend has continued, with high-income households anticipated to make up nearly half of travelers this summer, Deloitte reported in May. Ahead of this year's Memorial Day weekend, travel outlooks appeared mostly stable despite a dip in consumer confidence and dampening international visitation. Last month, however, CoStar and Tourism Economics downgraded their 2025 and 2026 growth projections for U.S. hotel top-line performance metrics, citing elevated macroeconomic concerns.

Skyline of Annapolis's waterfront could be reshaped with proposed ordinance
A proposed ordinance in Annapolis could reshape the skyline of the historic waterfront. The change would allow taller rooftop structures along Dock Street in exchange for greener, more sustainable buildings. It also opens the door for a potential hotel project. Proposed ordinance 14-25 allows buildings along Dock Street - between Craig Street and the waterfront - to add rooftop structures like mechanical penthouses and elevator shafts that rise up to 15 feet above the city's historic 30-foot height cap. Per the current ordinance, these rooftop structures are only allowed if they're part of a green roof system and screened from public view. "The part of O-14-25 that most people are paying attention to is to change the height limits for one block in our historic district that would ultimately allow for there to be built a hotel on the site of Latitude 38," said Annapolis Alderman Harry Huntley (D- Ward 1). The ordinance is currently in committee and will go before the city council at a public meeting on July 28. Read the proposed ordinance here. Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley introduced the ordinance back in May. "Making allowances for steel towers and vestibules and elevator shafts makes the project more viable because it's such a small footprint," Buckley said. While no official plan has been submitted, the owner of Latitude 38 has shown interest in turning the restaurant into a hotel – an idea Buckley has long supported. Buckley said that a small, boutique hotel on Dock Street would be a great asset to the city. "It would bring to the city, property tax, hotel tax, sales tax, jobs, but most importantly, it would bring activation to our brand-new park," Buckley said. Huntley said he's not against the restaurant becoming a hotel, but he has heard a lot of concerns about the proposed zoning change from his Ward 1 constituents. "I think a lot of residents want to preserve the integrity of our historic district, and they just feel like it's a matter of fairness -- making sure everybody plays by the same rules," Huntley said. Huntley said he has his concerns. "We should be trying to simplify our city code, not make it more complicated," Huntley said.
