New York CNN —Severe weather on Sunday caused a brief outage on NBC during its Indianapolis 500 broadcast ahead of the start of the race.
The storms have also disrupted the famed motor race, causing delays, evacuations and the satellite outage.
“During pre-race coverage, severe weather impacted our signal and temporarily interrupted our feed,” an NBC Sports spokesperson told CNN in a statement.
“Rain so heavy it took out the NBC satellite uplink from the Indy 500.
But the Indianapolis Motor Speedway said Sunday that the blackout was lifted because of the upheaval.
