I found the race rather boring, as overtakes were limited. At least there were different strategies, which made it unpredictable.

Not at this stage, results are gradually getting worse with driver error's.
Road America this week, needs a solid finish... Great drive by Will Power, his 41st career win, #5 on the all-time wins list, 1 behind Michael Andretti.... |

350k of us in the US watched Detroit. It's generally not the most watched race of the year BUT, it was almost doubled by NHRA on FS1.
I would argue that is a USA network problem as USA network viewers aren't generally racing fans, see the programming they now run. Used to be decent, now all syndication garbage on repeat. The first Indy race on USA was Indy Harvest GP race 1 at 225k so improving but gross. Numbers do not include Peacock streams but at best maybe additional 5% given the usual numbers. Hopefully WWTR gets better numbers as it's the remaining Indy USA race. More interesting will be Toronto round on Peacock only. |

Re-runs of procedural dramas are terrible lead-ins for IndyCar.
Plus I've heard that American TV channels do little cross-promoting. INstead, when Disney bought the international Fox division, ESPN started showing ads for Nat Geo and Fox, later Star and now Star+. |

Speed ceased being available to most American viewers as a standalone network with its own original programming on August 17, 2013, when it was replaced by the general-interest sports network Fox Sports 1. An "international" version of the network, now known as Fox Sports Racing, concurrently launched in Canada, the Caribbean and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico to replace the domestic feed, airing archived Speed programming and live simulcasts of motorsports events carried by Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2 in the United States that would be otherwise unavailable to international viewers.
