Indy 500 TV coverage

Starting Friday with coverage of Carb Day, the Pit Stop Challenge and the Indy Lights Firestone Freedom 100, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN Classic will have more coverage from Indianapolis Motor Speedway than is probably healthy.
Carb Day coverage begins at 8 a.m. on Friday on ESPN2, followed by the Pit Stop Challenge and Firestone Freedom 100, a developmental series race in the Indy Racing League.
ESPN Classic will have a marathon of Indy 500 specials and past races throughout the day on Saturday. It starts with a "SportsCentury" feature on Al Unser at 10 a.m. Indy 500s from 1987, 1991 and 2005 follow. The 1987 race was won by Unser, the fourth of his career, and one of many heartbreakers for Mario Andretti, who won the pole.
Rick Mears won the 1991 Indy 500, joining Unser as a four-time winner, and adding to the Andretti curse at Indianapolis. Michael Andretti finished a disappointing and frustrating second.
The 2005 race was the first for Danica Patrick and also the first time a woman led the Indy 500. The race was eventually won by Dan Wheldon.
ESPN2 will have coverage of the festival parade from Indianapolis at 2 p.m.
Pre-race coverage of the Indy 500 begins at 8 a.m. on Sunday on ESPN2 and continues at 9 a.m. on ABC. The race coverage begins at 10 a.m. on ABC. And for those who miss any action, the race will be replayed on ESPN Classic on Monday at 6 a.m.
Happy viewing.
