This weekend, the NASCAR Cup Series championship begins a new stage with broadcasting on TNT and HBO Max. This change comes after a brief period of five weeks that Prime Video maintained coverage, which concluded with the race at the San Diego Street Course at the Coronado naval base.
The scheduled events for the upcoming weeks include iconic tracks such as Sonoma, Chicagoland, Atlanta, North Wilkesboro, and The Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis. All these races will be available both live on TNT and via streaming on HBO Max, which will continue to offer onboard cameras for every race weekend.
Viewing options
In addition to live broadcasts of the races, practice and qualifying sessions will be available on both TNT and truTV and HBO Max. HBO Max will continue to air exclusive content like onboard cameras during race day, including team radio waves.
Broadcast team
The commentary team for this new stage is similar to that of Prime, with Adam Alexander as the lead commentator. He will be joined by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and race engineer Steve Letarte. The pre- and post-race shows will include Jamie McMurray along with Earnhardt and Letarte, with the presentation by Marty Smith.
Among the novelties, Jeff Burton will join as an analyst for the races at Chicagoland and Atlanta, while Jimmie Johnson will take the same role at the races in Sonoma, North Wilkesboro, and Indianapolis. The pit reporters will be Shannon Spake, Danielle Trotta, and Marty Snider, with Mamba Smith contributing as a special correspondent.
Millionaire challenge
Additionally, TNT will launch a new $1 Million Challenge during the season, where the winning driver will receive a million-dollar prize. Viewers will also have the chance to win the same prize if they manage to predict the race sheet correctly. Last year, Ty Gibbs won the round, with Ty Dillon as the surprise finalist.
