Indy practice
 

Anyone have a link to practice times. Can’t seem to find anything. Thank in advance

I believe the Indianapolis Motor speedway website has live timing and scoring. If not maybe it’s the IRL site .

Re: Indy practice
 

I was just checking to see what time and what channel qualifying was on tomorrow. If I'm not mistaken, it's not on free TV. I even checked my cable guide for NBCSN and NBC for tomorrow and it shows NOTHING!!! ***...........

Re: Indy practice
 

NBCSN shows final hour from 5pm-6pm Saturday.

Rest of the day is all rerun Mecums

Re: Indy practice
 

Thanks. :6:

Re: Indy practice
 

Looks to me like zero coverage of fast friday and practice with limited qualifying coverage. Way to go indycar. You can pay nbc to watch the speedway stream though. Plenty of free nascar coverage and racing against the 500 on fs1. Not the way to get your product out there indycar.

Re: Indy practice
 

It's been covered every single day.

Re: Indy practice
 

Absolutely the worst year ever to find ANY information about the 500 practice, qualification info, anything....bad,bad, bad!!! The 1st time in my 60 years I have had anything negative to say about my beloved Speedway!!

Re: Indy practice
 

No live video without pay per view. No national press coverage of what is going on. Good try....

Re: Indy practice
 

You might want to leave your cave. The only thing that is PPV are practices during the season and part of 500 qualifying. That going to PPV has provided coverage of those sessions that is light years ahead compared to where it was last year.

Re: Indy practice
 

Last year there was a lot of great online coverage. It is sad to see such a great event get so little coverage. Sounds like some questionable marketing decisions.

Re: Indy practice
 

You have a full network broadcast team and cameras covering the sessions this year compared to last. The Gold Pass is being operated like watching a race on network. BTW, a full year subscription to Gold pass is on sale for $40. Outside the May sale it's still only $64 for the full season. All season qualifying sessions, outside the first day minus the last hour of 500 qualifying, and races are still on NBCSN and NBC. There is a lot of confusion about what this is and isn't.

No, you can no longer watch for free at YouTube, but what NBC has done since getting this contract has been great. They've gone full out, lot's of cross promotion during their other sporting events, etc.

I spent the $40 on the NBC sports gold pass and have had great coverage. It is a full broadcast team with multiple pit lane reporters, at least three people in the booth, and the good chunk of the week it was Robin Miller in the booth. It's well worth the $40. And that's for the remainder of the season.

Re: Indy practice
 

I signed up but it stinks to think you pay over $200 a month for TV coverage and NBC has channels on cable and satellite they could show it on. The Speedway should make that mandatory in the package deal with who ever provides TV coverage other wise why not host it themselves? They speedway did the best job I had seen last year.

Re: Indy practice
 

I pay 98 a month for TV coverage, sounds like you might need to look into another option. NBC, along with 99% of other potential TV partners, is not going to kick off it's other properties to show IndyCar practice sessions. They already show the full races and qualifying sessions minus the first 6 hours of first day 500 qualifications on the SN and Network. What IndyCar got with this deal is a ton more exposure compared to what they had with the prior ABC/ESPN-Versus deal along with full team network broadcast quality coverage of all sessions.

I've come to the conclusion some of you would be happier if they would go back to the dark ages and ignore the complete season and only show the 500 on a tape delay World Wide Sports broadcast.

Re: Indy practice
 

Where is the live coverage of Indy 500 qualification from nbc on directv that I pay well for. I see they have qualified at least 20 cars so far from the indycar site. I will be at Indy for the 500 for 5 days. When I can leave my cave I do hit about 30 to 40 live races a year. Are you an employee of nbc, the brickyard or cart?

Re: Indy practice
 

Like I said above part of today's Indy 500 qualifying is on Gold. They aren't going to bump their lineup to put two full days of qualifying on SN or Network, especially on Preakness weekend. ABC didn't do it, no one is going to do that. As you can see per the following link, https://digbza2f4g9qo.cloudfront.net...190513T200508Z, today's session will have the 5-6 portion on NBCSN while the shootouts tomorrow will be on the network, NBC.

And I work for them all. My plan is to turn this series into an all road course series, kick all the dirt drivers to the curb, ensure that 85% of the field is foreign.:17:

It does stink to have to pay for the nbc gold but I did pay the $40 and the coverage is excellent and that covers the entire season. But for people without the extra money and love IMS I feel for ya for sure!

BTW, Hinchcliff just hit the wall hard! Pigot still P1 and Andretti last in fast 9 so far.

Re: Indy practice
 

Why the hell would you give a TV contract to a PPV cable network only to have them not show the coverage you gave it to them to cover without paying more to see it?

Thank you Charles 🏁😀 this is what I was thinking all along.

Re: Indy practice
 

NBC is covering Preakness today, the Triple Crown and Breeder's Cup are two of their big coverage items. The last hour is on NBCSN today. Tomorrow is on NBC, but will lead into Stanley Cup Finals meaning if there is delay it will go to one of their other properties. These conflicts are going to exist regardless of network. They are fulfilling the contract exactly as laid out. Maybe they can go back to ABC and get absolutely jack in the promotions department?

All races and qualifying, minus the first six hours of today, are shown on NBCSN & NBC. All that is shown on Gold is practice, today's 500 qual session before 5pm, Road to Indy, and on demand races within an hour of the end of the race.

Re: Indy practice
 

Charging 40$ to watch qualification day, isn't going to aid in bringing in new fans and thus put more fans in the seats. The per lap timing coverage on the screen was non-existent during the NBC coverage. Worked somewhat during the PPV. Thank goodness for Paul Tracy. The good thing about PPV is no commercials. The Speedway really needs to look at overall messaging and marketing. The product is there, and it was an exciting day. Sad there aren't more fans in the seats. Need to connect with fans new and old.

The 40
Dollars covers the entire season just for information. Like I said before, I hate it for the 500 diehards without the expendable income for sure!! But it is a good deal for the entire season. Today was the best day of qualifying drama that I’ve seen in years!

If you didn’t think today was exciting than you are not a 500
Fan! It was great and also I go to all the Kokomo races. I just love good racing. If it wasn’t about money i’d Be the greatest ever in my opinion (opinions definitely very tho) just saying Indiana in May!!
We are lucky people. Have a great month race fans and enjoy what we do have!!

Re: Indy practice
 

Plenty on regular cable/free over the air network, since this wknd (too much 4 me to keep up with, lol). I missed the practice today, and now can only find the (10!) car speeds from Lights practice. Oh well...will see some later proly when I have more time to look. But either way, hopefully this half hour show will move UP a week next year, to include the practice days! Time will tell. Take what you can get, I say
