'Six laps of commercials': Indy 500 fans actually able to watch annoyed with ads, lagging

We now interrupt this 3 hour commercial marathon with a couple minutes of the #Indy500

More commercials than racing. At least give Peacock a 2 box

NBC comes out of side by side commercials and goes right back to a commercial! #Indy500 pic.twitter.com/a6Xl48P3q2

@peacock I would have loved to watch the #Indy500 but your absolutely terrible streaming app can’t keep up. Thanks

Way too many commercials especially since I’m watching on Peacock that I pay for just for IndyCar.

Trying to watch this on TV. Literally every 5 minutes there are 2-3 minutes of commercials. Some are split screen bigger than race and SO LOUD! This coverage sux!!!

I’m gang to record the rest of the race and watch later. So many commercials it’s unwatchable. #NBCFail

Usually the Indy 500 makes me long for my Indiana home, but nbc’s “Nothing But Commercials” coverage hasn’t shown enough of the race for me to miss it this year.

I wish. But because of your ridiculous blackout rules, I can’t. Even though over 325k tickets were sold.

NBC coverage of the Indy 500 is horrible! More commercials then race footage! Rediculous to say the least

Trying to, but Peacock is laggy AF

@NBCSports has made the @IndyCar Indy 500 practically unwatchable. Legit 50% commercials.

🖕🏼

And of course a preview of the newest Indiana Jones movie is far more important than #Indy500. You really do suck at covering racing @NBCSports. Time to turn the reins over to another network.

I wull never understand- Why networks broadcast soccer matches commercial free ( except halftime) but not Racing? The amount of commercials circling the Indy 500 is beyond overkill.

— Blair (@CraftChat) May 28, 2023

The coverage of Indy has become equal to or worse than NASCAR with regards to the ridiculous number of commercials, most of which are saying "watch Indy". Uh, we're trying in between the endless breaks. Sided by side is worthless...
