500 Sprint Car Tour, Little 500 to air on Racing America

The 500 Sprint Car Tour, including the marquee Little 500 at Anderson Speedway, will air on Racing America in 2026 after a two-year run on World Racing Group’s DIRTvision.

“Racing America’s platform is a perfect fit for our fans and teams alike, delivering high-quality coverage of each stop on the 2026 tour, as well as multiple events at our home track of Anderson Speedway,” said Jared Owen, Anderson Speedway VP of Operations and 500 Tour director in a press release. “This collaboration represents a major step forward in growing the reach of the YourBIGPlans.com 500 Sprint Car Tour, Anderson Speedway, and our drivers. The partnership also allows us to introduce our action-packed racing to a broader audience at an affordable price point.

The 2026 Little 500 marks the 78th annual of the Memorial Day weekend classic that runs in the backdrop of the Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. As is the case for The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, 10 rows of 3 will take the green flag after a qualifying process that also annually sends cars home after time trials.

Unlike the big race at IMS, all of this takes place on a high-banked quarter-mile.
