What to know about Sunday's Indy 500 coverage
While the 104th running of the Indianapolis 500 will not be held on its originally scheduled date of May 24, the IndyStar and NBC Sports have plenty of special Indy 500 programming planned for the day.
Here's everything you need to know to celebrate the Greatest Spectacle in Racing:
Pre-Race Coverage
Tune into IndyStar.com at noon for a Special Edition of Pit Pass Live hosted by sports editor Matt Glenesk and motorsports Insider Nathan Brown. The show will feature interviews from IMS president Doug Boles, drivers Tony Kanaan and Simon Pagenaud and driving legend A.J. Foyt.
Is the Indy 500 on TV?
Fans craving the need for speed can get their fill by watching a special presentation of the 2019 Indy 500 starting at 2 p.m. on NBC.
NBC is calling its Memorial Day weekend broadcast: "Indy 500 Special: Back Home Again." The event will be highlighted by a re-airing of the 2019 race with commentary by NBC Sports' Mike Tirico, race-winner Simon Pagenaud and runner-up/2016 winner Alexander Rossi.
The broadcast will also feature time-honored prerace traditions, and a special recognition of those fighting on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
ESPN2 will be broadcasting three previous Indianapolis 500s beginning at 3 p.m., starting with the 2006 race when Sam Hornish Jr. became the first driver in history to make a winning pass on the final lap. At 5 p.m., it will be the 2011 race with JR Hildebrand crashing on Lap 200, and Dan Wheldon clinching his second Indy 500 victory. The last IndyCar re-broadcast will be the 2014 race at 7 p.m., which had 34 lead changes among 11 drivers with Ryan Hunter-Reay winning.
When is the actual Indy 500?
The Indy 500, originally scheduled for May 24, has been postponed until Aug. 23.
