NBC Sports Network expands coverage of Iowa event

NBC Sports Network will expand its coverage of this weekend's Iowa Corn Indy 250 with more than six hours of coverage of the June 23 IZOD IndyCar Series event.

Coverage begins at 7:30 p.m. (ET) with the latest episode of the all-access series INDYCAR 36.

The NBC Sports Network original series is produced by IMS Productions and gives viewers an all-access pass into the life of an IZOD IndyCar Series driver in the middle of race season. The cameras will follow a driver for 36 hours during a race weekend providing a behind-the-scenes look at the on- and off-track activities of the stars of the IZOD IndyCar Series. This week the spotlight shines on Charlie Kimball, who races for Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing.

Following INDYCAR 36, the network will televise the three heat races that will determine the starting lineup for the Iowa Corn Indy 250 followed by live flag-to-flag coverage of the IZOD IndyCar Series race at 9 p.m. (ET).

NBC Sports Network's coverage of the Firestone Indy Lights Sukup 100 will immediately follow the Iowa Corn Indy 250 as the network centers its coverage of the IZOD IndyCar Series' official developmental series closer to IZOD IndyCar Series events.
