Blending rare archival footage, along with the personal stories from drivers, teams, families and fans, “INDYCAR: ANYTHING TO WIN” takes audiences on a high-speed, behind-the-scenes look inside the world of INDYCAR racing and pulls back the curtain on the relentless pursuit of greatness that defines the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and its superstar drivers as they chase racing glory at the largest single-day spectator sporting event on the planet.
