Op-ed: Forthcoming documentary series is what IndyCar deserves and needs. H3lio Castroneves + JosefNewgarden weigh in on the topic. TheCW VICE IndyCar
We can forgive Miles his bombast, and the usual default prioritizing of youth, because he’s right to be enthusiastic: thisa huge deal. In the last few months, The CW became 75 percent owned by Nexstar, the largest TV station owner in the USA.
“Yeah, that’s critical,” says Newgarden, “and we must show the intricacies of our sport. I mean, I’m excited that we could draw in a new audience, but I’m also happy that we’re going to be able to showcase more of the secrets of our sport, ones that even a lot of current IndyCar fans don’t appreciate.
“We’ve had some experience of this over the years,” he says. “I understand the dynamic of capturing the events of a weekend and having strangers in your space. This will probably be more intrusive, you’re right, but that’s part of the deal, and we’ve got to be more open to showing what our sport is. I don’t think there’s an easy way to approach this, but we must let people in to show what’s going on and still stay concentrated on the job at hand.
“I think if we do a good job and we provide good access and captivating details about why the sport is so difficult and why it’s so fun, and if we are able to show the various personalities, I don’t see why this can’t be a longterm thing that we expand down the road. I think it’s what IndyCar deserves because our racing is so good.”
Helio will have no problem conveying excitement, disappointment and joie de vivre as he chases a record-breaking fifth Indy win.“I… don’t think I’ll be the focus, but I hope I’ll be on it,” he says earnestly, “because I’d like to give the people watching the show an understanding of the Indy 500. Everyone will have heard of it but not all of them will know enough to fully appreciate its meaning, its history.
“I’m sure we’ll have some conversations away from the camera about what we can say in front of the camera,” he says. “But I don’t see it’s a big issue. I mean, whatever they record won’t be seen on TV until a while after it was important, so I think we can be quite open.
