STAMFORD, Conn. - May 24, 2020 - NBC Sports announced today that the 2020 NTT INDYCAR Series Genesys 300 at Texas Motor Speedway will now be televised in primetime at 8 p.m. ET on NBC on Saturday, June 6, moving from its originally scheduled window on NBCSN.

This marks the first time NBC Sports has showcased the NTT INDYCAR Series in primetime on NBC, and the first INDYCAR race on broadcast television in primetime since 2013.

"America has a thirst for live sports, so we're thrilled to showcase the spectacular racing of the NTT INDYCAR Series in primetime on the broadcast network," said Jon Miller, President, Programming, NBC Sports and NBCSN.

"We're pleased the daring nature and bold skills of INDYCAR's athletes will be displayed to a network primetime audience in just a few weeks' time," Penske Entertainment Corp President & CEO Mark Miles said. "INDYCAR's first season on NBC in 2019 was marked by significant audience growth, and this marquee broadcast slot reflects both our continued momentum and strong partnership with NBC Sports Group."

NBC Sports' lead INDYCAR broadcast team of Leigh Diffey (play-by-play), Townsend Bell (analyst) and Paul Tracy (analyst) will call the race on NBC.

Texas Motor Speedway has produced two of the closest finishes in INDYCAR history, including Graham Rahal's victory over James Hinchcliffe by just .008 seconds in 2016 on NBCSN.
