INDYCAR DRIVERS ON THIS YEAR’s INTERNATIONAL BROADCAST PARTNERSHIPS

"The fans are so important to INDYCAR, and they motivate us racers to give them the best show possible each weekend.

My home country is where my heart is, and although I'm racing here in America, I want to make them proud back home." – Helio Castroneves, Meyer Shank Racing

“INDYCAR’s 17-race schedule is dynamic and challenging, featuring competitive events at each and every stop.
