NBC will broadcast the Indianapolis 500 for the sixth time, with Leigh Diffey doing play-by-play and Mike Tirico anchoring the pre-race coverage.All eyes will be on the track Sunday for the 108th running of the Indianapolis 500, but at least one driver might be distracted by the clouds.
This year’s Indy 500 comes in the wake of a cheating scandal involving Team Penske, which misused its push-to-pass system, which provided extra horsepower to drivers in brief spurts . Reigning Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden was retroactively stripped of his IndyCar Series-opening win in the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in March, and Team Penske suspended four people, including team president Tim Cindric.
Two rounds of severe storms are expected, according to meteorologist Andrew White. The first is forecast to hit in the late morning, while the second is expected to blow through later in the afternoon, possibly offering a “solid dry window” to squeeze in the race. The second portion is also forecast to be more severe, with potentially damaging winds, large hail, and the potential for a tornado.
