SiriusXM will air the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500. Listeners will have access to the live call of the race from Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 26. Pre-race coverage begins at 11am ET on SiriusXM INDYCAR Nation and NBC Sports Audio. Both channels are available to subscribers nationwide in their cars and on the SiriusXM app. SiriusXM INDYCAR Nation will also air live coverage of the Indianapolis 500 Miller Lite Carb Day Practice session on Friday at 11am ET.
Following the practice session, fans at the racetrack can watch a special SiriusXM show broadcast from the SiriusXM set outside the Pagoda at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as part of the Miller Lite Carb Day festivities. From 1:15-2:15pm ET, James Hinchcliffe -- a six-time NTT INDYCAR Series race winner who has competed in the Indy 500 11 times -- will host his podcast, "Off Track with Hinch and Rossi." Hinchcliffe's regular co-host for the podcast Alexander Rossi will be in the field for Sunday's race. The show will be available on the SiriusXM app and other podcast platforms.
In the days leading up to the race, the SiriusXM app will feature a special "Greatest Day in Motorsports" page that will make it easy for listeners to access Indy 500 race and practice coverage, driver interviews from media day and more.
SiriusXM will be co-sponsoring three cars from the Meyer Shank Racing Team in this Sunday's Indianapolis 500 field. The SiriusXM colors will adorn the No. 60 AutoNation/SiriusXM Honda of Felix Rosenqvist in addition to the No. 66 AutoNation/Arctic Wolf Honda of Tom Blomqvist. SiriusXM will also be on the No. 06 Cleveland-Cliffs Honda of Helio Castroneves, who is racing to be the first ever driver to claim five Indy 500 victories.
