The CW to debut new NASCAR prerace show for 2025 season

This season is going to be great with The CW expanding their NASCAR Xfinity Series coverage with all new media talent. We are getting an all-new broadcast booth with fan favorites, two great pit reporters, and most importantly, a new prerace show for 2025.

Carla Gebhart, who currently works for The CW’s affiliate in Charlotte will have a new role. She is going to host NASCAR Countdown Live. The show will air before Xfinity Series races this season.

All 33 races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series season will air on The CW. Fans will have one place for practice, qualifying, and the races. Throwing in a new prerace show for fans is perfect.

The CW has taken steps to increase its sports content. With NFL, College Football, WWE, and more, NASCAR is seen as an anchor in that growing portfolio. With 33 weeks of races, it is not hard to see why.

Adam Stern of Sports Business Journal broke the news today about The CW’s 2025 broadcast talent. There is a lot to be excited about heading into Daytona.

NASCAR will also produce a lot of content this year. The NASCAR Studios facility will be pumping out content for TV and online. When the season starts there will be familiar names in the Xfinity Series booth.

NASCAR fans are going to like the 2025 booth that The CW has chosen. There are new and old faces, and it is overall, a very young booth.

This season Adam Alexander, Jamie McMurray, and Parker Kligerman will make up the broadcast booth. That’s an excellent trio. Alongside those talents will be Dillon Welch and Kim Coon on pit road.

Adding a prerace show is such a strong move from The CW. These broadcast talents, from the booth to pit road and the studio, are all fantastic. When the Xfinity Series moved to The CW, the network made it clear that the series would anchor their sports programming.

It is nice to see, at a time when FOX and NBC appear to be fine doing business as usual, that one network partner is making a serious push to promote the sport. Having the Xfinity Series available over the air is going to help the sport grow.
