Danica Patrick Joins Fox Broadcast Team for 2025 Indianapolis 500

Ahead of the 2025 Indy 500, former IndyCar driver Danica Patrick joined FOX's broadcast team as an analyst, reflecting emotionally on her first Indy 500 experience and sharing what made the race special during her career. Patrick, the only woman to have won an IndyCar race and led laps at both the Indy 500 and Daytona 500, retired from racing in 2018 and has since become a respected motorsport pundit. She praised the deep bond between current driver Will Power and his wife Liz, who underwent emergency spine surgery in 2023 due to a severe staph infection, which affected Power's 2023 racing season. Power will start the 2025 Indy 500 from the back of the grid following penalties related to a Team Penske controversy. Patrick’s punditry at the Indy 500 highlights her transition from racing to media, where she continues to contribute to motorsport coverage while embodying the spirit of the event. Additionally, her distinctive on-air presence, including her checkered-flag-themed attire, has drawn attention as part of her role in the broadcast team.
