Roger Penske sells a third of Indianapolis Motor Speedway and IndyCar to Fox
Penske Entertainment, the Roger Penske-owned entity that holds Indianapolis Motor Speedway and IndyCar among its assets, said Thursday it has sold one-third interest in the company to FOX. The sale was described as a strategic investment and partnership designed to launch new growth for IndyCar and it includes a multi-year contract extension for Fox Sports' media rights deal with the open-wheel series. Fox Sports is in its first season broadcasting IndyCar. Penske Entertainment expects the sale of part of the company to spearhead innovative and industry-leading racing and entertainment events, heightened digital strategy and immersive content focus, as well as enhanced promotion and star-building opportunities for IndyCar drivers. 'This partnership is built on long-standing trust and a shared vision for the future,' Roger Penske said in a statement. 'Fox sees the incredible potential across our sport and wants to play an active role in building our growth trajectory. 'Lachlan Murdoch and his team, starting with Eric Shanks, are committed to our success and will bring incredible energy and innovation to IndyCar.' Shanks is an Indiana native who grew up attending the Indianapolis 500 and has an affinity for IndyCar racing. He desperately wanted to add IndyCar to Fox Sports' properties and snagged the TV deal away from NBC Sports ahead of this season. All races are broadcast on Fox making IndyCar the only series in the United States that does not air any of its events on cable. This year's Indianapolis 500 on Fox averaged 7.01 million viewers — a 41% increase over last year and a 17-year high. This season, IndyCar is averaging a 31% increase in viewership year-over-year. 'We're thrilled to join the IndyCar ownership group at such a pivotal time for the sport,' said Eric Shanks, CEO & Executive Producer, FOX Sports. 'IndyCar represents everything we value in live sports — passionate fans, iconic venues, elite competition and year-round storytelling potential. 'This investment underscores our commitment to motorsports and our belief in IndyCar's continued growth on and off the track. We're excited to help elevate the sport to new heights across all platforms.' The sale to Fox gives some clarity to the succession plan for Penske, who bought IndyCar and the speedway ahead of the 2020 season. He has long declined to discuss his succession plans although sons Roger Jr. and Greg are involved in the racing entities of the Penske Entertainment. Penske, who is 88, still runs the day-to-day operations of all of his businesses, which includes racing teams in NASCAR, IndyCar, and IMSA and WEC sports car racing, as well as his billion-dollar transportation empire at Penske Corp. Penske Automotive also owns multiple car dealerships and Penske is one of the largest BMW dealers in the United States. His race teams, the transportation business and his dealerships are not part of the Fox transaction. ___ AP auto racing:

Fox buying significant stake in IndyCar series owner Penske Entertainment
Fox Corp has purchased a 1/3 stake in Penske Entertainment, the owner of the IndyCar series, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and IMS productions, Penske Entertainment confirmed Thursday morning. The news was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. According to sources the Journal spoke to, the transaction was believed to be valued between $125 million and $135 million. The deal also comes with a multi-year extension of what was already a three-year exclusive media rights deal between Fox Sports and IndyCar, set to expire at the end of the 2027 season. The length of that extension was not immediately clear, but it would appear to lengthen and deepen the pair's relationship from a media rights perspective through at least 2029. According to a release, Penske Entertainment expects the deal to lead to "innovative and industry-leading racing and entertainment events," a "hyper-engaged digital strategy and immersive content focus" and "enhanced promotion and star-building opportunities for (IndyCar series) drivers." "This partnership is built on long-standing trust and a shared vision for the future," Roger Penske said in the release. "Fox sees the incredible potential across our sport and wants to play an active role in building our growth trajectory. (Fox Corp. CEO) Lachlan Murdoch and his team, starting with (Fox Sports CEO) Eric Shanks, are committed to our success and will bring incredible energy and innovation to IndyCar." Penske Entertainment and Fox declined interview requests from IndyStar. More on Eric Shanks: He played hooky to attend the Indy 500, owns a bar outside IMS and leads Fox's coverage Most of the way through Year 1 of IndyCar's media rights relationship with Fox, the series experienced a 17-year high in viewership for the 109th Indianapolis 500 that produced an average audience of more than 7 million viewers, a figure not seen by the sport since 2008. The network-only deal for IndyCar's races also saw the season-opener draw more than 1.4 million viewers, though nine of the season's 14 events have failed to reach an average audience of 800,000. With the addition of practice and qualifying sessions airing on cable instead of streaming-only, it's unquestioned that more eyeballs have been on the sport than at any time in recent memory, but IndyCar's average non-500 audience this year lags significantly behind comparable network-only race audience figures during NBC's stretch of exclusively broadcasting the sport from 2019-24. "We're thrilled to join the IndyCar ownership group at such a pivotal time for the sport," Shanks said in a release. "IndyCar represents everyting we value in live sports -- passionate fans, iconic venues, elite competition and year-round storytelling potential. This investment underscores our commitment to motorsports and our belief in IndyCar's continud growth on and off the track. "We're excited to help elevate the sport to new heights across all platforms."
