Indy Racing League to Rev Up HD on ESPN, ABC

All 16 IndyCar Races to Air in HD

By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 1/10/2008 9:36:00 AM

ESPN and ABC will telecast all 16 of their Indy Racing League races in HD beginning this year, starting with the March 29 race from the Homestead-Miami Speedway in primetime on ESPN2.

That follows the HD telecast of the Indianapolis 500 by ABC last year, the first event on the circuit to get HD treatment.

All of the cameras, including in-car and pit cameras, will be HD.

ABC HD is available to anyone with a set, while ESPN HD and ESPN2 HD have 15 million and 12 million subscribers, respectively,  and are available to 93 million and 79 cable households, respectively. 

IndyCar is catching up to National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing events, which have been in HD since the 2005 season.
