FOX affords rationalization for NASCAR/IndyCar programming clashes

Followers of each IndyCar and NASCAR had been left annoyed following the choice to run the IndyCar race at Thermal and the NASCAR Cup race at Homestead at almost the very same time. The American open-wheel sequence aired on FOX whereas NASCAR was featured on FOX Sports activities 1, aside from a 20-minute interval in the midst of the race when the IndyCar broadcast went down because of technical points. Throughout that point, NASCAR was simulcasted on each channels.

On Monday, we discovered that there was a big drop in viewership between the IndyCar season opener at St. Pete and the second spherical of the season at Thermal. Regardless of each races showing on FOX’s major channel, viewership dropped 50.3% between with 704,000 tuning in for Thermal whereas over 1.4 million watched St. Pete.

FOX explains

Motorsport.com reached out to FOX Sports activities to raised perceive why the programming conflict occurred and had been supplied the next rationalization from a consultant: “When IndyCar is on the West Coast, going head-to-head with NASCAR is unavoidable as a result of we are able to’t begin the IndyCar race at 9 a.m. PT /12 p.m. ET (too early on the market) earlier than NASCAR (at 3 p.m. ET). We can’t air IndyCar on Sunday nights within the spring due to FOX leisure applications airing in primetime.”

There can even be some crossover between the subsequent IndyCar race at Lengthy Seashore (additionally on the West Coast) and NASCAR at Bristol as properly. Whereas circuitously head-to-head, Lengthy Seashore will begin about 90 minutes after Bristol, which normally runs for about three hours. As for the remaining races the place FOX broadcasts each NASCAR and IndyCar, there can be no different direct conflicts, no less than for 2025.
