FOX launches latest IndyCar commercial

The first of FOX Sports’ new IndyCar driver commercials went live last weekend featuring two-time Indianapolis 500 and double champion Josef Newgarden.

The Team Penske driver fully embraces his ‘Dark Josef’ persona in the promotional ad dubbed ‘Perfect Neighbor’ which includes an Indy-themed Easter Egg with an expiration date and rates among the best driver-centric commercials in decades.
