The Bommarito Automotive Group 500 at World Wide Technology Raceway on June 15 was scheduled for a 3 p.m. Eastern Time start. FOX Sports and IndyCar announced at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, May 14 the new starting time will be 8 p.m. Eastern Time. It will be the first IndyCar race scheduled for prime time since the rescheduled season-opening race at Texas Motor Speedway on June 6, 2020.

(Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images) That race became the first race of the IndyCar Series season because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, that shut down professional sports from March 12 to mid-May when NASCAR was the first series to return. IndyCar was next with the race at Texas Motor Speedway that was televised on a Saturday night by then IndyCar television partner NBC Sports. FOX Sports is in the first year of a new TV contract as the home of IndyCar and moving the race on the 1.25-mile oval outside of St. Louis, Missouri is another sign of its commitment to helping grow the series. It’s the first-ever prime time Sunday night race in IndyCar Series history. “This is a massive primetime showcase under the lights for the stars of the NTT IndyCar Series,” IndyCar President J. Douglas Boles said. “This is also a tremendous display of partnership from both FOX Sports and our friends at World Wide Technology Raceway, who’ve worked with usto generate this exciting opportunity for our sport. “Race weekend in St. Louis is just a month away, and fans in venue and around the country are in for a real treat when IndyCar arrives in town.” Other Starting Time Changes Adjustments to broadcast times have also been announced at four other venues. The race at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin on June 22 was originally 3:30 p.m. ET. The new time is 1:30 p.m. ET. The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio on July 6 changes from 2 p.m. ET to 1 p.m. ET. The second race of the IndyCar Race Weekend at Iowa Speedway moves up from 2 p.m. ET to 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 13. The following weekend on the streets of Toronto, the Honda Indy Toronto will begin at 12 noon on July 20. It was previously scheduled for 2 p.m. ET. In collaboration with FOX Sports and IndyCar promoters, the tune-in time adjustments capitalize on opportunities to further build an audience for North America’s premier open-wheel series. The NTT IndyCar Series is the only premier motorsports series in North America with all races broadcasting live on network television. So far in 2025, the average race audience has grown 25 percent across the NTT IndyCar Series season, significantly higher than comparable trendlines across professional sports. Changes for INDY NXT By Firestone Race Times With broadcast times adjusted for the IndyCar Series, times for FOX Sports’ coverage of INDY NXT by Firestone at three venues also have been updated. As part of the new media rights deal between FOX Sports and IndyCar announced last June, the entire INDY NXT season is available live on television for the first time. In addition to the new times, the adjusted 2025 schedule moves the race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course from FS2 to FS1 resulting in 13 of the 14 races of the INDY NXT championship to be featured on that network. The June 15 INDY NXT race at World Wide Technology Raceway has been moved from 12 noon to 4:30 p.m. ET. Road America on June 22 moves from 1 p.m. to 11 a.m. ET. The July 6 round at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course moves from 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. ET. INDY NXT by Firestone is also gaining significant momentum throughexposure via FS1 and FS2, reaching more than five times its comparable audience from the previous season. The next race in the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series championship is the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge Sunday,May 25. Coverage begins at 10 a.m. ET on FOX, FOX Deportes and the FOX Sports app. Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucemartin/2025/05/14/fox-sports-puts-indycar-in-prime-time-for-world-wide-technology-race/
