While watching the Super Bowl I learned that FOX is gonna be the new home of Indy Car racing and I would like to know if you had heard anything about this? Because I thought IndyCar and CART both went bankrupt a long time ago and this is weird that FOX is now doing this in addition to NASCAR races too

I think FOX will be the king of motorsports when they broadcast their first Indy Car race this weekend because when you get the general picture Indy Car Racing has always been hard for any television network to carry and since CART was sold Indy Car in general lost viewership and fans and when you are a big name like FOX you can get any kind of sports on TV. Because FOX has NFL football Super Bowls MLB games the World Series NASCAR races and just about any sport you name. Next thing you'll know FOX will get the rights to March Madness games from CBS. I mainly think Indy Car paid FOX a lot of money in a cheap deal to get Indy Car races to give FOX big ratings in sports

Indy 500 viewers express frustration over the amount of commercials now that the race is on Fox

"For the first time in the illustrious century-plus long history of the Indianapolis 500, the race on Sunday was broadcast on Fox," says Awful Announcing's Reice Shipley. "And fans quickly noticed one significant difference on the network compared to broadcasts in past years on NBC: the sheer number of commercials throughout the event. In some ways, Fox pulled out all the stops in their coverage of the Indy 500, including featuring several prominent former athletes from the network’s NFL coverage. Rob Gronkowski, Michael Strahan, and Tom Brady all made appearances during studio coverage of the event. However, in terms of the action on the track on Sunday, fans felt that there were far too many cutaways for commercials that took away from key moments and ruined much of the rhythm on the broadcast." ALSO: Fox showcases paid actors at MLB game pouring milk on themselves to promote the Indy 500.
