STRAIGHT FROM SXSW:
Watch the Exclusive First Look at The CW's "100 Days to Indy," Produced By Vice Media Group and Penske Entertainment
Straight from NTT Indy Car's "100 Days to Indy" panel at SXSW in Austin, TX, following a discussion with NTT Indy Car Series drivers Pato O'Ward and Alexander Rossi, along with series director and executive producer, Patrick Dimon, the first look at the thrilling new series was unveiled for fans.
100 DAYS TO INDY will premiere on Thursday, April 27 (9:00-10:00pm ET/PT). Produced by Penske Entertainment and VICE Media Group, the six-part series will take fans behind the scenes to chronicle the bold and brash personalities of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES as they begin the 2023 season and start their quest for racing's greatest prize.
From the balmy high-speed turns of St. Petersburg, Florida, to the demanding banked oval in Dallas and the sun-swept streets of Long Beach, California, every mile is an epic moment as 100 DAYS TO INDY takes viewers into the drivers' seat for unprecedented access to top NTT INDYCAR SERIES stars as they compete for racing's greatest prize: the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. Of the 33 drivers racing for a coveted spot on the Borg-Warner Trophy, Helio Castroneves is eyeing his record fifth win while last year's champion, Marcus Ericsson, is hoping to repeat. But they face fierce opposition from a powerful Team Penske, led by two-time series champion Josef Newgarden, and rising stars from other rival teams like Pato O'Ward, Colton Herta and Christian Lundgaard. 100 DAYS TO INDY will showcase all the intense preparation, relentless competition, a few pranks and plenty of speed before the green flag drops and 300,000 fans roar at the world's largest single-day sporting event.
Produced by multiple-award winning VICE World News, 100 DAYS TO INDY is directed and co-executive produced by Emmy(R) Award-winner Patrick Dimon and executive produced by Bryan Terry for VICE. Adam Marinelli serves as showrunner and co-executive producer, and Falguni Lakhani Adams is executive producer for VICE TV. 100 DAYS TO INDY is distributed globally by Vice Content Distribution.
