NASCAR: “We’re looking forward to having The CW get a head start"
The CW was announced as the new home for the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2025, a year earlier than anticipated. They will broadcast all 33 races of the secondary NASCAR division next year and the agreement extends through the 2031 season. NBC, originally set to air the 2024 NXS playoffs, will produce the races and utilize NBC commentators. Rick Allen, Jeff Burton, and Steve Letarte will serve as lead race announcer and analysts. The CW will start coverage on September 20 at Bristol Motor Speedway and air all playoff races. Dennis Miller, President of The CW Network, expressed gratitude to NASCAR and NBC Sports for the opportunity to showcase the season’s final Xfinity Series races early. NASCAR’s Senior Vice President, Brian Herbst, highlighted the collaboration between media partners in bringing live NASCAR racing excitement to fans. The NASCAR Xfinity Series is noted for propelling rising stars to success, with most champions since 2000 going on to win in the NASCAR Cup Series.
