NBC feed cuts to black amid epic Kyle Larson charge in last 10 laps of Brickyard 400

The NBC feed mysteriously cut to black during the final 10 laps of Sunday’s Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

At the time of the outage, which lasted about 30 seconds, Kyle Larson was making his charge to the front with Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney running on low fuel. It’s unclear what caused the screen to cut to black, but it certainly resulted in some angry reactions from NASCAR fans.

“What’s crazy is the poor broadcast of this race!” one fan wrote on X. “Started out with nbc news taking over the air then to have the broadcast cutting out.”

Those sentiments were echoed by many others watching the race live as it hit its peak as far as an action standpoint.

“NBC just lost the feed from Indy!!! What the heck??” another fan tweeted.

Larson never got the chance to catch Keselowski and Blaney as Kyle Busch’s spin with three laps remaining sent the race to overtime.

Kyle Larson gets his first Brickyard 400 victory

Keselowski ran out of fuel before the restart and then a crash in Turn 1 brought out the caution. Fortunately for Larson, he was by Blaney when the yellow flag came out and started on the inside during the second overtime attempt.

Being in front of Blaney paid off for Larson, as he held on during the second overtime restart to score his fourth victory of the season.

“This is just such a prestigious place and such hallowed ground. And pretty neat to just get an opportunity to race here on the oval again,” Larson said.

“What a job by our team. Never gave up at all. We had the pit stop issue early on and just fought and dug and had things work out. … I love you, Indiana fans. And I know you guys love me, too. So how about we come back next May and try to kiss these bricks on the Indy car.”
