As part of NASCAR's new $7.7 billion dollar broadcast deal, Amazon and Warner Brothers Discovery have become new partners alongside FOX Sports and NBC Sports. Prime Video just ended its five-race run as the Cup Series went to streaming for the very first time.
For this next leg of the season, TNT takes over for their own five-race summer stretch. TNT's stint begins with a Saturday night race at Atlanta under the lights on June 28th. It will then be back-to-back road/street courses with the Chicago Street Course on July 6th and Sonoma Raceway on July 13th. The series then heads to the 'Monster Mile' at Dover on July 20th before ending with a NASCAR crown jewel -- the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. All of these races will be featured on TNT and simulcast on HBO Max, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Beyond that, all practice and qualifying sessions will be simulcast on Max and truTV. Previously, Prime Video was handling most of those sessions. Max will also continue to have in-car cameras for every Cup race through this stretch of the season. After TNT's run, NASCAR's Cup broadcasts will then be handled by NBC Sports for the remainder of the year.
Additionally, during the Cup races on TNT, there will be another 'altcast' on truTV during the race that focuses on the $1 million in-season bracket challenge, hosted by Daytona 500-winning crew chief Larry McReynolds and 21-time NASCAR Cup Series winner Jeff Burton.
The broadcast booth will be the same as Prime with Dale Earnhardt Jr., Adam Alexander, and Steve Letarte, ensuring some continuity. For more about the full broadcast lineup, CLICK HERE.
