The 105th Indy 500 open test is Apr. 8-9

Peacock will be the exclusive streaming home for the Indy 500 Open Test to be held at the World Center of Racing on Apr. 8-9. Thirty-two drivers will take to the famed Brickyard track from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. (ET) Thursday and 10-4 p.m. Friday.

Peacock to deliver first Indy 500 action

The Indy 500 Open Test is the marquee launch for the NTT IndyCar Series action on Peacock. It is also the only way fans can see the action as there will be no on-site access.

“IMS and INDYCAR are working closely with NBC Sports to deliver what should be an exceptional show on Peacock during these two very important days of testing,” IMS President J. Douglas Boles said in a release.

“Having the NBC Sports broadcasters, production quality, and exclusive content will deliver an engaging viewing experience that builds even more anticipation for finally coming ‘Back Home Again’ to IMS in May.”
