NASCAR Announces Race Start Times for 2017 Season
Seventeen National Series Events Move Closer to Primetime
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (July 27, 2016)
– NASCAR, along with FOX Sports and NBC Sports, today announced 2017
race start times and network coverage for the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR
XFINITY Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series – based on the
previously released
schedule dates.
Through collaborative efforts with its broadcast partners, race teams
and tracks, NASCAR was able to finalize full 2017 start times for all
three national series almost six months earlier than in recent seasons.
Seventeen
national series events will start closer to primetime, helping to bring
NASCAR’s photo finishes and
close, side-by-side racing to larger audiences. Seventeen NASCAR Cup
Series points races will air on broadcast television next year,
including
the DAYTONA 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on FOX; and the Brickyard 400 and the
NASCAR Cup Series championship race, the Ford EcoBoost 400 from
Homestead-Miami
Speedway, on NBC.
“It’s
our responsibility, collectively as an industry, to ensure the sport is
healthy, strong and growing by
delivering great racing in a way that best meets the needs of our
fans,” said Steve Herbst, senior vice president, broadcasting and
production at NASCAR. “Earlier insight on start times benefits not only
fans, but also our teams and tracks, as it provides
more opportunities to plan travel and to purchase race tickets.”
Since
the initial release of the 2017 schedule, NASCAR and its partners have
shifted two dates for the NASCAR XFINITY Series and the
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The NASCAR XFINITY Series race at
Road America will move to Sunday, August 27, on NBC. The NASCAR Camping
World Truck Series race at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park will now take
place on Sunday, September 3, airing on FS1
prior to the NASCAR Cup Series event at Darlington Raceway on NBCSN.
Looking
ahead to the 2018 season, the DAYTONA 500 will move to Sunday, February
18, during Presidents Day weekend. NASCAR and its
partners are working collaboratively on the remainder of the 2018
schedule, which will be finalized and released at a later date.
In
addition to watching the live broadcast, fans can catch all the
on-track action by visiting NASCAR.com, downloading
the NASCAR Mobile app or live streaming on FOX Sports Go and the NBC
Sports app. Fans can also listen to Motor Racing Network (MRN),
Performance Racing Network (PRN), IMS Radio Network and SiriusXM NASCAR
Radio, channel 90, throughout the season.
