Indy 500 Draws Biggest TV Rating Since 2008 in FOX Debut
INDYCAR Alex Palou wasn't the only big winner in the 109th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge last Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. FOX Sports attracted 7.05 million viewers in the Nielsen Fast National ratings for its first telecast of 'The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,' the most-watched edition of the race since 2008. The rating marked a 40 percent increase over last year's broadcast, which drew 5.02 million viewers. The broadcast reached a peak audience of 8.4 million viewers from 4:15-4:30 p.m. ET, when Palou drove his No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda to his first '500' victory in a thrilling finish and enjoyed a jubilant celebration on track and on the Victory Podium with his CGR teammates. INDYCAR and FOX Sports are in the first year of a broadcast partnership that is delivering dramatic gains in exposure for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and INDY NXT by Firestone. All 17 races in the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES schedule are televised on FOX network, the only major premier motorsport in the United States with exclusive major broadcast network coverage for all its races. The next race is the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear on Sunday, June 1 on the streets of Detroit. Live race coverage starts at 12:30 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app. recommended
