New IndyCar documentary series to premiere this weekend

Available to stream on Fox Nation, Road to the IndyCar Championship goes behind the scenes of the open-wheel series

Road to IndyCar Championship

A brand-new IndyCar documentary series is set to make its debut on Fox Nation this weekend, coinciding with the final round of the 2025 season.

Road to the IndyCar Championship will cover the inside story on the battle to be the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series champion.

It follows on from the third season of 100 Days to Indy, which placed its focus upon the build-up to the flagship 2025 Indy 500

The first episode of Road to the IndyCar Championship will be available to stream on Fox Nation from Sunday, August 31 2025, coinciding with the final race of 2025 IndyCar season.

A total of three episodes of the new series will be made available, with new episodes airing weekly. 

This will cover the IndyCar paddock’s reaction to the Indy 500 results, through to the season-closing Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix in Nashville. 

In keeping with the direction taken by 100 Days to Indy, the new documentary series recaps the key talking points from the season, and includes insight from Fox Sports broadcasters such as Will Buxton, James Hinchcliffe, and Kevin Lee. 

This is combined with candid interviews with IndyCar drivers, such as the formidable Alex Palou, and a behind-the-scenes look at their lives off the race track.

Increasing the love for IndyCar

Such a documentary format will be familiar to those who have watched Netflix’s successful Drive to Survive series, which covers the Formula 1 World Championship.

IndyCar is looking to emulate the global audience growth seen in Formula 1, with an ambitious plan to increase the reach of the open-wheel format and, in particular, boost engagement with younger fans. 

The launch of Road to the IndyCar Championship coincides with the first year of Fox Sports acting as the official broadcaster of the IndyCar series

In addition, earlier this year, Fox Corporation announced it had purchased a one-third stake in Penske Entertainment, which includes the IndyCar series and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 

Delivering greater behind-the-scenes insight with a new documentary is part of the strategy to build engagement, which also includes plans for a new series of IndyCar video games, beginning next year.
