While this isn't The Magic Bullet by any means, making IndyCar races available via multiple access points is super smart.IndyCar already does a great job of uploading video from practices, qualifying, etc. very soon after the live event has concluded.

This came out yesterday, but still ... Props and kudos to IndyCar for moving to make entire races available for viewing on YouTube within 36 hours of the original event.

INDYCAR to offer IZOD IndyCar Series races on YouTube: INDYCAR announced today that it will offer IZOD IndyCar Series races to fans for the first time ever on the INDYCAR YouTube channel.

Starting with the Itaipava Sao Paulo Indy 300 presented by Nestle, which took place this past Sunday on the streets of Sao Paulo, full broadcast or specially-customized broadcast versions of each 2012 IZOD IndyCar Series race will be posted on YouTube for fans in the U.S. to view within 36 hours after the telecast.

"This is more than merely a great opportunity for INDYCAR to populate its YouTube channel with more racing footage," said Randy Bernard, CEO of INDYCAR. "It's a chance for our drivers, teams and sponsors to receive more brand exposure and recognition and an opportunity to bring the thrill of INDYCAR racing to new audiences."

In addition to making current IZOD IndyCar Series races available, INDYCAR will also bring archival footage, like historical fan-favorite races, to INDYCAR's YouTube Channel.
