I found the race rather boring, as overtakes were limited. At least there were different strategies, which made it unpredictable.

350k of us in the US watched Detroit. It's generally not the most watched race of the year BUT, it was almost doubled by NHRA on FS1.

I would argue that is a USA network problem as USA network viewers aren't generally racing fans, see the programming they now run. Used to be decent, now all syndication garbage on repeat. The first Indy race on USA was Indy Harvest GP race 1 at 225k so improving but gross. Numbers do not include Peacock streams but at best maybe additional 5% given the usual numbers. Hopefully WWTR gets better numbers as it's the remaining Indy USA race. More interesting will be Toronto round on Peacock only.

Re-runs of procedural dramas are terrible lead-ins for IndyCar.


Plus I've heard that American TV channels do little cross-promoting. INstead, when Disney bought the international Fox division, ESPN started showing ads for Nat Geo and Fox, later Star and now Star+.

In the US it disappeared about 15 or so years ago. First it turned into Fox Sports I think.

Speed ceased being available to most American viewers as a standalone network with its own original programming on August 17, 2013, when it was replaced by the general-interest sports network Fox Sports 1. An "international" version of the network, now known as Fox Sports Racing, concurrently launched in Canada, the Caribbean and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico to replace the domestic feed, airing archived Speed programming and live simulcasts of motorsports events carried by Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2 in the United States that would be otherwise unavailable to international viewers.

Instead we get things like TERRIBLE "sports commentary" shows on FS1/2, 6 hours of horse racing from a random assortment of tracks and not like so not for gamblers, oh and HOURS and HOURS of USFL replays even though no one watched the first time. Seems like Fox definitely hit that need in the American TV market. I understand FS1, they wanted to compete with ESPN and are currently outspending them on TV people but the garbage on FS2 is even worse than ESPNU or ESPNEWS. They cover all the most current cool sports like American Cornhole League, Spikeball championships, Pickleball of various mixed leagues LIVE, and the weird curved board footie meets 4 square game. But Indy (and IMSA, and WRC, and LM but that's a sht contract) gets shoved out of the way for garbage and half the stuff on the new "motorsports" channel is faked reality car building shows on MotorTrend with LM24 shoved to streaming outside of a few hours. But I digress
