    Peacock always streams the same races shown in NBC or NBC sports. That's how it was this past year as well

    Spot On! It certainly is a convoluted schedule. Casual Fans will certainly fade away - unless- as stated, NASCAR goes all in and spends serious money with marketing/commercials to keep them updated. Personally, I print out race schedules every December and notate as necessary. I have Amazon Prime, Peacock (for IMSA). The CW is free. Casual and or those with a 'new' interest in NASCAR are not going to take the time to follow a schedule like this. Alternatively, one could always wait a few days and watch any race on NASCAR'S YouTube Channel.

    What is the setup to get them all? Youtube TV + Amazon Prime + Peacock?

    NASCAR is losing -1.8 million TV viewers every 7 years… The new TV deal will probably just accelerate that loss of viewership. 2009: 6.4 million 2016: 4.6 million 2023: 2.8 million 2030: 1.0 million (estimated)

    I'm disappointed that NASCAR obviously didn't even try anything for the fans. They could've gone to someone and sold them on a NASCAR package that they could sell to fans. I want to be able to go to one service and pay one fee to get every race. That's very doable, but they obviously didn't even try. They could've gone to YouTube TV or Fubo or someone and negotiated something where hardcore fans pay, say, $30 a month for Cup, $40-$50 a month for Cup, Xf, and Trucks. Like where they just simulcast the races in this package.

    If I don't just happen to have TNT, then I may just skip those races. I hope they load it up with Daytona, Talladega, COTA/Shitcago, Texas, and the All-star race so I don't miss a thing. They're going to have to have some of their most compelling races to get me, as a hardcore fan, to bother with that crap. Or I'll just stream it all by "other means," although I think I may start completely skipping the super speedways and just watch the highlights because holy shit those are God awful. NASCAR should sell the first 90% of Daytona and Talladega races as white noise for people with trouble sleeping.
