The IndyCar series finished its 2025 season on a high note over the weekend.

Fox announced Wednesday that an average-audience size of 1,142,000 viewers tuned in for Sunday’s Music City Grand Prix in Nashville to close out the network’s first season broadcasting IndyCar races.

It marked the first time since June that an IndyCar race surpassed a million viewers, snapping an eight-race streak of six-digit viewership. Viewership peaked at 1,338,000 from 4:30-4:45 p.m. for the conclusion of the race, which saw Josef Newgarden snap a 20-race winless drought while Alex Palou finished off his fourth IndyCar series championship.

Those viewership numbers represent 136.7 percent growth from the 2024 Nashville race, which drew a television audience of 482,568.
