FOX Sports Names IndyCar Broadcast Team

FOX Sports has announced a three-man broadcast team for its inaugural season of NTT IndyCar Series coverage, featuring Will Buxton as the play-by-play announcer alongside former drivers James Hinchcliffe and Townsend Bell as race analysts. The season kicks off with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 2. Buxton, returning to FOX after his start on SPEED Channel in 2010, expressed his excitement about telling the stories of IndyCar drivers, describing it as a dream opportunity. Hinchcliffe and Bell, both retained from NBC Sports' previous coverage, highlighted their enthusiasm for growing the sport together with FOX. Buxton's extensive background in motorsport, including roles with Formula One and GP2, positions him well for this new challenge. The announcement was made by Brad Zager, FOX Sports President of Production & Operations.
