Fox Sports announced on Thursday that 1997 INDYCAR SERIES champion Tony Stewart and 2005 Indianapolis 500 rookie of the year Danica Patrick will join them for their inaugural Indianapolis 500 broadcast next Sunday, May 25.
Stewart and Patrick will join Fox presenter Chris Myers in the pre-race broadcast lineup. INDYCAR on Fox regulars Will Buxton, James Hinchcliffe, and Townsend Bell will call the action from the booth.

Tom Rinaldi, winner of 17 national Sports Emmy Awards and seven national Edward R. Murrow Awards, will offer feature interviews. Little will have a sit-down interview with NASCAR champion Kyle Larson, who once again is attempting the Indy 500/Coca-Cola 600 “double.”
FOX Sports reporter Erin Andrews, the first woman singularly honored with the Pat Summerall Award, will have a conversation with two-time defending Indianapolis 500 champion Josef Newgarden.
