INDYCAR’S Docuseries “100 Days To Indy” Premieres Thursday, April 27

IndyCar’s long-awaited, highly anticipated documentary series “100 Days to Indy” will premiere on Thursday, April 27 on The CW network.

The unscripted series from Vice Media Group, Penske Entertainment and the NTT IndyCar Series will give television viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the series as it builds up to its biggest race of the season, the 107^th Indianapolis 500.

The premiere date was announced Friday as part of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s 100^th day until the start of the Indianapolis 500.

“As we hit the 100-day milestone until the Indianapolis 500, the production team behind ‘100 Days To Indy’ has been working tirelessly to capture the powerful stories of these incredible drivers as they compete at death-defying speeds to be the best of the best,” said Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment, The CW Network.

The six-part series goes from the balmy high-speed turns of St. Petersburg, Florida, to the demanding banked oval at Texas Motor Speedway and the sun-swept streets of Long Beach, California.

According to The CW, “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.”

Major storylines include Helio Castroneves’s attempt for a record fifth win while last year’s champion, Marcus Ericsson, is hoping to repeat.
