Alex Palu claims that Fox’s investment will be “very big” for Indycar

The Indycar series entered a new era after last week’s announcement that Fox Corporation has purchased a third stake in Penscay Entertainment, Indycar’s original company and prestigious Indianapolis motor speedway.

While the long-term effects of the move are still many unknowns, Fox steps as a co-owner-this season indicates a commitment to shape the future of the series after being already included as an exclusive broadcaster. The announcement outlined the ambitions such as racing innovation, immersive content strategies, converting increased digital platforms and drivers into domestic names.

Alex Palu, who has become the face of Indycar by winning three of the last four championships-and certainly in the Grand Prix of Portland is one fourth at the end of next week, as well as to win Indianapolis 500 in last May, the arrival of Fox as a part-owner believes that the right direction is a step in the right direction.

“Unfortunately, I don’t know what it is going to do for our game, and I really don’t know what is going to change, if it is going to change anything,” Palu said during a virtual media session before the Portland event. “But I think someone is as big as Fox, and over time that they have been with Indycar and how much love they have shown to us and how much work they have done in the series – such as before we started the season – it was crazy. It was incredible.”

Expand interest in game

Palu insisted that Fox’s involvement would help to increase the reach of the game as it attempts to attract new fans, both on the racetrack and television screen.

“I think there is such a partner – they don’t have to find out how to reach more people; they can already do. So with that kind of reach, be a person in your team, who only needs to find ways to do it properly and understand for both Indycar and their business – I think it’s going to be too big.”

Chip Gansey Racing Driver supported his stimulation about the growing participation of Fox in the game by accepting the media company’s marketing efforts in 2025, which was in the first year of its special network-cavity broadcast deal for the Indycar race.

“I think we need all this. This is obviously going to take some time, but I think everyone will agree that whatever Fox has done to promote us – I am sure you have seen it. You go to any fuel station and one of the indycar advertisements by Fox pop up is not difficult to watch one of the prominent sports events. – This is very good. “

“Yes, I can’t wait to see what they’re going to do. I’m really happy to see it, and I am confident and confident that they are going to do good for our game.”
