SiriusXM has unveiled its broadcast schedule for the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge, providing fans with live coverage and exclusive content in the days leading up to and including race day. Listeners can tune into the live race call from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 25, starting with pre-race coverage at 10am ET on SiriusXM INDYCAR Nation (channel 218).
Leading up to the big event, SiriusXM INDYCAR Nation will also carry live coverage of the Indianapolis 500 Miller Lite Carb Day Practice on Friday, May 23 at 11am ET. Following the session, fans at the track will be treated to a special live taping of the SiriusXM podcast "Off Track with Hinch and Rossi," hosted by James Hinchcliffe and Alexander Rossi. The show will take place outside the Pagoda at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as part of the Carb Day festivities.
Hinchcliffe, a six-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES race winner, and Rossi, a former Indy 500 winner driving the No. 20 car for Ed Carpenter Racing in this year's race, will be joined by guests from racing, music, and entertainment. Scheduled appearances include legendary driver Mario Andretti and members of rock band Creed. The podcast episode will also be available on the SiriusXM app and other major podcast platforms.
On Thursday, May 22, Hinchcliffe will conduct interviews with many of the drivers competing in Sunday's race during Indy 500 Media Day. These conversations will be available later that day on the SiriusXM app.
The celebration continues post-race on Monday, May 26, with Diplo's Revolution (channel 53) broadcasting live from the Indy 500 Coors Light Snake Pit, featuring performances by Illenium, Two Friends, Kayzo, and Oliver Heldens.
SiriusXM's Listen Free event runs from May 22 through June 2, giving everyone access to INDYCAR Nation and all Indianapolis 500 coverage. During this period, anyone with an inactive SiriusXM satellite radio can listen to over 100 channels for free in their vehicle.
