NASCAR on ESPN is a no-longer-available package. It was the branding for NASCAR's race coverage on ESPN2, ESPN2 or ABC. It was an exclusive package with commentary and exclusive content. The Turner Sports Network and NBC Sports Network are now covering the programming. The brand name is still unknown. For historical purposes, ESPN will keep the original branding.
NBC Sports Network
NASCAR on NBC is the branding for NASCAR races that are produced and broadcast on NBC Sports Network. The network is part NBCUniversal's family of television networks, which includes the NBC broadcast. It broadcasts races from all 50 states. It has a unique mix of popular and niche shows and news.
NBC Sports Network had been known previously as Versus. It aired many sporting events, including NASCAR. The sport was introduced to NBC in 1995. The network moved some programming to USA Network and Peacock but continued to broadcast some sports. NBC currently has the exclusive rights of airing seven NASCAR racing events. These include: the Coke Zero Sugar 400; Bojangles Southern 500; and the Chase races at Charlotte or Kansas. NBC also has rights to the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred racing.
ESPN
NASCAR on ESPN is a now-defunct package that provided NASCAR racing coverage on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC. It was the branding for the broadcasts on those networks. Before the cancellation of NASCAR on ESPN, it was a popular way to keep track of the sport.
Many NASCAR lovers have been critical of the ESPN coverage of NASCAR. The broadcasts were inconsistent. Many viewers were frustrated by poor announcers' preparations and excessive commercials. As a result, many NASCAR fans looked to other networks for NASCAR coverage.
Turner
Recent announcements by Turner and ESPN that they will be ending their exclusive agreement to air NASCAR racing on TV marks a significant shift in the sport's television landscape. Turner will now have a complete six-race season on ESPN2 or ESPN3 and NBC will have half the races. It is a significant deal, but there are some pitfalls. The deal would first require the networks to part ways with a large portion of their programming. It is not an easy proposition.
Turner and ESPN originally sought to exit the deal but they were not successful. The Sprint Cup rights were owned by NBC. NBC won the bid. ESPN and Turner Sports agreed to a lower price than they had paid for the rights. They settled for a deal with NBC that would pay $440 million per calendar year until 2024.
ESPN+
NASCAR is a popular sport if you're a fan. It was once a branding for NASCAR racing coverage on ESPN2, ESPN2, ABC. The new package, NASCAR+ on ESPN+ is more comprehensive and easier for fans.
Although they did a decent job covering it, the coverage was not perfect. ESPN missed some key moments like the opening laps of Juan Pablo Montoya, several lead changes, and the finish of Kevin Harvick. Post-race interviews were also missing from the coverage.
