I found some more info for you guys and gals...
NBC Sports will dispatch a 200-person teleproduction crew with more than 80 cameras to cover the race (36 car-mounted on-board cameras, 10 overhead cameras in the pits and robotic and hard cameras surrounding the track). Additionally, 125 microphones will be used to help deliver race audio in surround sound. According to a Sports Technology Update on www.broadcastengineering.com, on-board cameras will be Standard Definition because “HD technology is not there yet,” sports director Mike Wells said. Shots from the on-board cameras will be presented in 4:3 with a black frame.
