NASCAR on TV in 2025 is much more changeable than it was in the past for the NASCAR Cup Series. Last year, we only had two TV partners in FOX Sports and NBC Sports. Now, we have four. On Tuesday (May 6), Warner Bros. Discovery announced their on-air team for their five-race miniseries that starts at Atlanta Motor Speedway on June 28 on TNT and Max. For the most part, everyone involved will be familiar to you. They’ll just be in different places.

Texas Motor Speedway has become something of a mess in the past 10 years. Up until 2016, the track provided decent racing after a couple of terrible years at the very beginning.

Typically, Talladega Superspeedway races are some of the easiest events to cover on television, at least these days. Everyone is clustered together, so it’s fairly easy to keep track of everyone. It’s quite the difference compared to the 1994 and 1995 DieHard 500s I watched this past weekend on the NASCAR Channel, which saw small packs at times due to long runs under green.
