O’Ward Leads Rain-Delayed IndyCar Event at Milwaukee Aired on Fox

Fox Corporation is broadcasting the resumption of the IndyCar Series event at the Milwaukee Mile this evening, as the grid returns to action following weather disruptions. The race, initially scheduled for earlier in the weekend, was pushed back due to persistent rain on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Coverage is currently airing on FS1, with the green flag waving at approximately 6 p.m. ET.

Competitors are navigating the 1.015-mile oval to complete 250 scheduled laps. The race marks a significant double-header attempt for the series and drivers, with track conditions playing a major factor in the revised timeline.

As the cars return to the track, the running order through 91 laps shows Pato O’Ward in the lead. O’Ward, who secured a victory earlier on Sunday, holds the top position ahead of Felix Rosenqvist and Alexander Rossi. The top five is rounded out by Josef Newgarden in fourth and Christian Lundgaard in fifth.

Further down the leaderboard, notable positions include Will Power in sixth and championship contenders Alex Palou and Scott Dixon sitting 14th and 15th respectively. The field also features Mick Schumacher in 18th place as the race progresses past the one-third mark.

The broadcast provides exposure for Fox Corporation’s sports segment, which holds rights to various motorsport events. The company’s stock was trading at $68.42 on Monday, reflecting a 1.74% increase from the previous close.

• Completion of the remaining 159 laps at the Milwaukee Mile.
