Weekend debut for the new IndyCar documentary series

Fox Nation is set to debut a new documentary series titled Road to the IndyCar Championship this weekend. The series is part of an ambitious plan to increase the reach of open-wheel racing and engage younger fans.

The series is a continuation of the third season of 100 Days to Indy, which focused on the build-up to the 2025 Indy 500. However, unlike its predecessor, Road to the IndyCar Championship follows the battle to become the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series champion.

The series provides a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of IndyCar drivers off the race track, offering candid interviews with drivers such as Alex Palou. Insight from Fox Sports broadcasters like Will Buxton, James Hinchcliffe, and Kevin Lee is also included.

Fox Sports is the official broadcaster of the IndyCar series for the first time, and this documentary series is a testament to their commitment to the sport. The series recaps the key talking points from the IndyCar season, covering the Indy 500 results and extending to the season-closing Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix in Nashville.

The new series is similar in format to Netflix's Drive to Survive series, which covers the Formula 1 World Championship. It is hoped that this format will emulate the global audience growth seen in Formula 1.

A total of three episodes of the series will be made available, with new episodes airing weekly. The first episode of the series will be available to stream on Fox Nation from Sunday, August 31, 2025.

It's worth noting that the BMW 850i M Heritage Edition and the price reduction of the 2026 Jeep Gladiator truck are not related to the IndyCar series or the documentary. Similarly, the new IndyCar video game is a separate development from the documentary series. A new series of IndyCar video games is planned to start next year as part of the engagement strategy.

The launch of Road to the IndyCar Championship is not a repetition of the third season of 100 Days to Indy. The CEO or head of the production company of the new IndyCar documentary series is not specified in the available search results.

The documentary series is a significant step in the partnership between Fox Corporation and Penske Entertainment, which includes the IndyCar series and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Fox Corporation recently purchased a one-third stake in Penske Entertainment, signalling their commitment to the future of open-wheel racing.

In conclusion, the new documentary series Road to the IndyCar Championship promises to offer an engaging and insightful look into the world of IndyCar racing. With its behind-the-scenes access and candid interviews, it's set to be a must-watch for fans of the sport. Tune in to Fox Nation this weekend to catch the first episode.
