Following up JH Long's post about NASCAR streaming races next year in the new package. It really is a brilliant idea on NASCAR's part because no more hearing about declining ratings. Streaming services don't monitor that. Not sure how you sell it to a sponsor. I won't be watching all the races now.
Here is how it worked out.
(1-14) Fox will get 14 Cup Series races annually in the first portion of the season, including the Daytona 500. Fox also retained the entire Truck Series schedule.
(15-19) The next five Cup races will be on Amazon Prime Video. It marks the first time in NASCAR history its top series will be exclusively streamed.
(20 - 24) Warner Bros. Discovery will take over and carry the next five races. Those will be simulcast on TNT and streamed on the Max service.
NBC Sports will complete the season with the final 14 races.
