@Ilikeracing3 @jimbri66 @NASCAR @NashvilleSuperS @PrimeVideo Most sports have hometown teams. That’s different than NASCAR which has no hometown fan base. Fans usually travel further.

@steel4penguins @NASCAR FS1, USA, TNT are also subscriptions with ads.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@GrantReyn93 Same. I will never attend a Sunday night race. This is my 4th year in a row going to the Bristol night race only because it’s on Sat night. Used to go to Charlotte fall before Roval. I would get tickets immediately if it was Sat night on oval. Sharp 11 pm cut off for me tonight

@PaulCra47154521 @richardaucock @F1 You have all onboard cameras on Apple TV for F1 - which you can select a specific one or do multi-view - along with two different broadcasts - world feed or Sky. You can’t say that about the Indy 500 or any traditional network broadcast. Not to mention ad-free race.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@BrettBaldeck @SportsonPrime It’s about $10 to buy a one-month subscription for all five races. Saving $1 a month would suffice. I don’t get the complaints.; it’s not like it’s $200.

@GingerSnaps @NASCAR @CLTMotorSpdwy @PrimeVideo FOX turned down the race for the Indy 500. CBS isn’t interested. NBC spun NASCAR to USA with a few contract exceptions. ABC/ESPN isn’t interested. CW is more limited and has O’Reilly. There’s none available and Prime has more subscribers than cable.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@dgoodin24 Fox owns a third of Indycar. They’re promoting themselves.

@iluvjoshallen17 @Pastor_RonJ @NASCAR You’re mad because it’s true.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@GingerSnaps @NASCAR @CLTMotorSpdwy @PrimeVideo This five race stretch will be on Prime through 2031 because Amazon bought the rights to broadcast them. They do a great job.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@velma8899 @NASCAR @CLTMotorSpdwy @PrimeVideo Prime should have all the races. They do it better than anyone else.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@Pastor_RonJ @NASCAR All races should be streamed exclusively. No time commitments, fewer ads overall, and better picture quality. They could even make it where you could select different in-car cameras like F1 on Apple TV. Not possible on traditional tv.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@Kirt_Achenbach It started when in 2001 when NASCAR consolidated the television rights. They pay millions a year to broadcast races. It’s the reason you have later starts now, too.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@BigDaddyCBell20 @Spikee126 @cpk_diecast FOX and the other networks pays NASCAR’s bills. Without the tv networks, NASCAR wouldn’t the money for race purses, etc.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@FiveWideSports Perhaps we should be complaining more about the quality of drivers than officiating. If they didn’t wreck every 12 laps, maybe they could have completed the entire race.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@mjpowell43 @the_48_fan I recommend following @wxbrad for Charlotte weather updates. He was reporting lower chances of rain through 9 pm so we may have an official race.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@MargiCulp @NASCAR I wish the entire season was on Prime. Their coverage far exceeds anything on broadcast or cable television. By the way, Prime is here to stay for their five races until at least 2031.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@A_S12 @FS1 @SBJ @GettyImages NASCAR’s television fragmentation is absolutely butchering viewership. It doesn’t help that NASCAR doesn’t have many big personalities to bring in viewers either. The racing quality isn’t terrible, but this car is too similar to sports cars instead of gen 3-6 stock.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@TheRonHCross @Jordan_Bianchi ESPN unlimited is coming to YoutubeTv at no extra charge this fall.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@BillyMcdonra @Jordan_Bianchi Unlikely. This agreement allows ESPN to boost their streaming portfolio without paying billions to sports leagues. It’s basically leasing streaming rights from CW.

[Casey Hayes @caseythayes]

@TheCW_Sports @NASCAROReillyAP Can’t wait to stream it once YoutubeTV enables ESPN Unlimited for their subscribers later this year. I hope it won’t be a simucast of the low resolution CW feed from my local affiliate.
