Indy 500 2016: Carb Day schedule and TV coverage

We have reached Carb Day, with final practices before the 2016 Indianapolis 500, now just two days away, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

A longstanding Indy 500 tradition, Carb Day was named way back when race cars had carburetors, which they could tune on the final day of practices. Now, the day not only features final practice laps for drivers preparing for Sunday, but there is also a pit stop competition, an Indy Lights Freedom 100 race and a concert during the day’s events.

In fact, there are two concerts to close the Friday festivities, with both Neal Schon and Journey performing.

British driver Jack Harvey won the Freedom 100 race in 2015.

NBCSN will provide television coverage of Carb Day, beginning at 11 a.m. ET with practice laps, and including the Indy Lights Freedom 100 race. Kevin Lee will anchor the coverage alongside analyst Townsend Bell, who is qualified to start in fourth position on Sunday in the Indianapolis 500.

Lee and Bell will be joined by analyst Paul Tracy in the booth, with pit reports from Jon Beekhuis, Marty Snider, Katie Hargitt and Robin Miller.
