SiriusXM, which airs live broadcasts of every NTT Indycar Series race, announced plans for the 106th running of the Indianapolis 500. Listeners will have access to the live call of the race from Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 29. Pre-race coverage begins at 11am ET, with the green flag scheduled to start the race at approximately 12:45pm ET, on SiriusXM Indycar Nation (SiriusXM channel 160) and NBC Sports Audio (SiriusXM channel 85). SiriusXM Indycar Nation will also air the Indianapolis 500 Carb Day Practice session on Friday at 11:00 am ET.
Two episodes of "Brick by Brick," SiriusXM's Indycar show hosted by 2004 series champion Tony Kanaan and Jack Arute, will air during Indianapolis 500 week. The show will air in its regular timeslot on Wednesday (7-8pm ET) on the NBC Sports Audio channel. On Friday, Kanaan and Arute will host a special three-hour episode of the show from the SiriusXM set (1-4pm ET) outside the Pagoda at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as part of the Carb Day festivities.
Arute and Kanaan -- who won the 2013 Indy 500 and will be competing in the race for the 21st time this weekend when he drives the No. 1 Honda for Chip Ganassi Racing -- will interview many of the drivers in the 2022 Indy 500 field. The show will air Saturday (1:00, 4:00 and 7:00 pm ET) and Sunday (8:00 am ET) on the NBC Sports Audio channel and throughout the weekend on SiriusXM Indycar Nation.
2021 Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves will be competing to be the first driver in history to win a fifth Indy 500 title. SiriusXM will be along for the ride on his historic #drivefor5 as the co-title sponsor of the No. 06 AutoNation/SiriusXM Honda he drives for Meyer Shank Racing. SiriusXM will also co-sponsor the No. 60 Indy car driven by his MSR teammate, 2019 Indy 500 winner and 2016 NTT Indycar Series champion Simon Pagenaud.
SiriusXM's Listen Free event runs from May 26 through June 6, so everyone can listen to the SiriusXM Indycar Nation channel and SiriusXM's coverage of the Indianapolis 500.
