NASCAR to broadcast ‘exclusive, full season live coverage’
As NASCAR moves towards a broadcasting deal with Warner Brothers Discovery and TNT Sports in 2025, some exciting news has been announced.
A press release went out on Wednesday, shared to X by FOX’s Bob Pockrass, regarding the future of in-car streams during races. Evidently, Warner Brothers Discovery’s Max streaming service will “have exclusive full season live coverage of in-car cameras from all the NASCAR Cup Series races starting in 2025.”
“For those who have been watching the in-car streams from NASCAR’s website, this was announced today by Warner Brothers Discovery: Max streaming service will have exclusive full season live coverage of in-car cameras from all the NASCAR Cup Series races starting in 2025,” Pockrass posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“… The in-car coverage during telecasts is separate from the digital in-car camera that has been used on the streams. Select cars would still have in-car cameras for telecast as far as I know.”
