For most of the history of the Indy 500, people around the world could only follow the race
via AM or shortwave radio. In 2014, nearly 11 million people across the globe tuned in.
RADIO BROADCASTS
FROM INDIANAPOLIS, Daily broadcasts are on 93.5 FM / 107.5 FM / 1070 AM
More than 400 affiliate IMS Radio Network radio stations located throughout the United States
and Canada will broadcast live Race Day coverage of the Indianapolis 500 at 11 a.m. Sunday,
with a pre-race show, followed by the race broadcast at 12 p.m.
Indy 500 practice and qualifying can be heard on the IndyCar Radio Network.
WHERE TO LISTEN TO RACE
Note: The Indycar Radio Network is a separate entity from the television networks and have their
own team of reporters and announcers.
INDYCAR RADIO NETWORK - Stream radio broadcasts live through the month of May.
This page also posts a list of AM/FM Radio Stations that broadcast Indycar, about a week
before the event.
There is also an option to listen to the radio network on the IndyCar Timing & Scoring Web Site.
This way you can monitor the stats while listening to the broadcast.
If you prefer the IndyCar Radio Network team to the TV broadcast team, mute your TV and
use your radio or streaming device to listen to them instead. Usually the radio is about a
minute ahead of the TV broadcast. I like to have a computer screen next to my TV that shows
the Live Leaderboard. When the TV goes to commerical, I mute it and un-mute the Radio on the
Leaderboard page, and vice-versa.
