Don't be so sure. Keep in mind that all of the Olympics are streamed on the NBC Sports app, so really it'll depend on how the scheduling shakes out - if the less popular Olympic sports are up during any race times, then the races will probably still get their TV time - though almost certainly not on network. And there's even a chance that IndyCar and IMSA won't have anything scheduled during the Olympics(though IndyCar's usual Mid-Ohio date IS smack in the middle of it) to begin with.

Also, despite a massive improvement in the recently-run Winter games, NBC hasn't had the best track record with pleasing Olympic fans since they got the contract.
