The 107th running of the Indianapolis 500 is on Sunday, and SiriusXM has announced its programming plans for the weekend.
It all starts Friday with the final stretch of practice time on track for the 33 IndyCar drivers competing in the race, also known as Carb Day. SiriusXM IndyCar Nation will air live coverage of the practice starting at 11 a.m.
On Friday afternoon, two IndyCar shows will broadcast live near the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway Pagoda. NTT IndyCar Series drivers James Hinchcliffe and Alexander Rossi will host their podcast Off Track with Hinch and Rossi starting at 1 p.m. Comedian and Indianapolis native Joey Mulinaro will be the show’s special guest.
From 2-4 p.m. driver Tony Kanaan and broadcaster Jack Arute will host Brick by Brick, an exclusive IndyCar show. Kanaan won the 2013 Indy 500 and will compete in the race for the 22nd and final time on Sunday.
Listeners of both programs can expect to hear insider perspectives from the drivers on competing in the sport’s biggest event, as well as interviews.
Race day coverage of the Indy 500 begins at 11 a.m. on Sunday and can be heard on both IndyCar Nation and NBC Sports Audio channel 85.
This is also SiriusXM’s Listen Free event, so you can try out the service at no charge and listen to all the action.
