Amazon Prime Video brought its five‑race experiment in NASCAR Cup Series broadcasting to a close with a race at the Qualcomm Circuit on the Naval Base Coronado, marking the end of a short but eventful chapter in the sport's media history.
TNT Steps In
Starting next week, TNT Sports will take over the next five races, beginning with the Toyota Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway. The move is part of a broader seven‑year, $7.7 billion agreement that also saw Prime Video added to the schedule earlier this year.
The new broadcast lineup will feature a familiar trio of voices. Adam Alexander will anchor the coverage alongside Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Steve Letarte, who bring decades of racing insight and a deep connection to the sport.
Beyond the race weekends, the series will showcase the In‑Season Challenge, a bracket‑style tournament that pits 32 drivers against one another in head‑to‑head matchups, adding a fresh competitive narrative to the calendar.
NBC will close out its season with 14 races, while the series’ second off weekend falls between the Brickyard 400 and the Iowa event. Live coverage of the Toyota Save Mart 350 will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, June 28, giving fans a clear window to tune in.
The transition reflects a shifting media landscape where traditional networks and streaming platforms vie for premium sports rights, and it underscores the enduring popularity of NASCAR’s on‑track product.
