The show will be hosted by former IndyCar driver AJ Allmendinger and veteran motorsports broadcaster Jack Arute.
On the season premiere, Allmendinger and Arute will be joined by two-time and reigning NTT IndyCar Series champion Josef Newgarden and other drivers to preview the season opener.
The next evening, March 12, Tony Kanaan, the 2013 Indy 500 winner and 2004 series champion, will host a special edition of Brick by Brick alongside Arute live (7:00-9:00 PM EST) from St Petersburg. Kanaan, who has announced that this season will be his last as a primary driver, will be a host on Brick by Brick multiple times this season.
In addition to NTT IndyCar Series races, SiriusXM will also air Indy Lights races throughout the course of the season. Indy Lights is the final step in the Road to Indy driver development series, which features some of the world’s best young open-wheel drivers and has produced many of the stars in IndyCar today.
