FOX Sports has clarified the role of Kevin Harvick at the 2025 Indy 500 after a now-deleted social media post claimed that he would be on the broadcasting team.
Harvick, now a FOX Sports broadcaster, was rumored to be part of the broadcasting team for the prestigious race due to a post on his X account, but FOX Sports has since set the record straight, declaring that Harvick will simply be attending the event as a spectator with his son, Keelan.
FOX Sports stated, via On3.com:
“He is attending with his son, Keelan, and may pop into the FOX coverage as a guest, but he is not calling the race.”
In a now-deleted tweet, Harvick incorrectly listed the Indy 500 as his last broadcasting commitment for the year 2025. This caused some confusion among fans and viewers regarding his involvement, as Harvick is primarily known for his work covering NASCAR, a role he filled after retiring as a full-time Cup Series driver in 2023.
In a planned schedule, Harvick will cover 14 NASCAR races alongside fellow commentators Mike Joy and Clint Bowyer by May 18, 2025.
Harvick had previously mentioned on his podcast, “Happy Hour,” about his interest in experiencing the Indy 500, stating, as previously reported by Newsweek Sports:
“When you look at the Indy 500 and everything that comes with the Indy 500, that is an experience from the open wheel side of that, that hopefully I get to experience this year.
“I don’t have anything to do that weekend, so I’d love to experience what heaven might be like.”
