NASCAR’s new Xfinity TV deal with CW Network to get an early start
The CW Network is set to broadcast the final eight races of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season a year earlier than planned, according to multiple sources confirmed by Motorsport.com on Thursday. The official deal is expected to be signed later today, with an announcement detailing the reasons for the shift. Originally, NBC and USA Network were scheduled to broadcast the final eight races of the 2024 season as part of the current TV contract’s last year. NASCAR officials have yet to respond to requests for comments on the matter. In July, NASCAR announced a seven-year exclusive partnership with The CW as the new home for all 33 Xfinity Series races per season until 2031. The Xfinity Series, established in 1982, serves as the final stepping stone before the sport’s top level and has seen numerous future Cup champions emerge from its ranks.
