Kevin Harvick revealed on Thursday his 2025 broadcasting schedule for FOX Sports.

Beginning with this Sunday’s 67th running of the Daytona 500, Harvick will call 14 NASCAR races alongside Mike Joy and Clint Bowyer through May 18. But on Sunday, May 25, Harvick will be a part of the broadcast team for FOX‘s inaugural broadcast of the Indy 500.

Harvick, who transitioned to broadcasting following his retirement from full-time Cup Series competition after the 2023 season, previously teased an Indy 500 appearance during an October episode of his “Happy Hour” podcast.

“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,” Harvick said. “I don’t have anything to do that weekend, so I’d love to experience what heaven might be like.”

FOX will broadcast the 109th running of the Indy 500 as part of the racing series’ new media rights deal which kicks in this season. Seven-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson notably participated in the 2024 event on NBC, providing commentary during the prerace show. Could Harvick play a similar role in 2025? Harvick’s role is currently unknown but nonetheless, this year’s Indy 500 will be momentous for both IndyCar and FOX.

“Adding the iconic Indianapolis 500 and delivering the entire NTT IndyCar Series to the FOX Sports roster fits perfectly within our model of teaming with sports’ largest events and best-in-class brands,” FOX Sports CEO and Executive Producer Eric Shanks said this past June. “We’re honored to be the new broadcast home to “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” an incredibly special event to everyone at FOX Sports.”

Will Buxton, James Hinchcliffe and Townsend Bell will serve as the three-man booth for the Indy 500, with Jamie Little expected to cover the race in some capacity.
