Potential IRL TV partners want Indy only




ABC/ESPN holds the rights for next year but is allowing IRL to shop them on the open market. FOX and ABC/ESPN are interested in specifically the Indy 500 as the only over-the-air race with the rest of the series being on pay-TV (FOX probably means the rest of the series on Speed).



Versus is also very interested in the series. My opinion is that they might be willing to overpay for the series with the condition that they have to sell off Indy to an over-the-air network.
