775K viewers for Mid-Ohio IndyCar
The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio produced an average viewership of 775,000 last Sunday, as the IndyCar Series broadcast on FOX faced competition from NASCAR’s Cup Series event in downtown Chicago, which aired on TNT.
Without opposition from NASCAR, the Mid-Ohio race on NBC delivered the second largest audience of the season at 1,253,315, leaving the series with a 38.2-percent year-to-year decline for Mid-Ohio’s debut on FOX.
According to the network, the Mid-Ohio race won by Scott Dixon peaked at 911,000 viewers between 3-3:15pm ET, and FOX says it is averaging 1,783,000 viewers in 2025, an increase of 27 percent from the 1,407,000 average across the first 10 races on NBC and its CNBC and USA Network cable outlets.
