INDYCAR KOHLER GRAND PRIX – SUNDAY AT 1 P.M. ET ON NBCSN
Road America hosts this weekend’s IndyCar Kohler Grand Prix for the first time in nearly a decade, when Sebastien Bourdais (KVSH Racing) won en route to the season championship in 2007. Simon Pagenaud (Penske) continues to lead the championship standings by 80 points ahead of Scott Dixon (Target Chip Ganassi). Coverage from Road America begins Friday at noon ET with practice on NBCSN, and continues Saturday at 5:30 p.m. ET with qualifying, prior to Sunday’s race coverage.
Lead IndyCar play-by-play announcer Leigh Diffey will call this weekend’s race, alongside analysts Paul Tracy, who won twice at Road America in his career (1993 and 2000), and Townsend Bell. Marty Snider, Katie Hargitt, Robin Miller and Kevin Lee will report from the pits.
Both Tracy and Bell experienced success on the track in recent days. Bell and his Ferrari team finished first in their class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 19, while Tracy was victorious at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association’s Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational. Tracy won top honors in the “B Production” class in a 1965 Ford Mustang GT 350.
In addition to this weekend’s Verizon IndyCar Series event at Road America, NBCSN will air coverage of the Indy Lights series from Road America Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET, immediately following the Kohler Grand Prix. Kevin Lee will call the race alongside Anders Krohn and Katie Hargitt.
