NASCAR Racing Network (NRN) is an American radio network that syndicates broadcasts of NASCAR auto racing events. NRN was founded in 2025 when Motor Racing Network and Performance Racing Network, the two radio networks to broadcast NASCAR races, teamed up to broadcast the entire NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series schedule collaboratively. The joint radio network's first broadcast will be the 2025 Fr8 208 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

History

On February 21, 2025, Motor Racing Network and Performance Racing Network, the two radio networks to broadcast NASCAR races, announced that they would team up to broadcast the entire NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series schedule collaboratively as the NASCAR Racing Network. Previously, Motor Racing Network, owned by NASCAR, would broadcast the entire Truck Series schedule. For the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series, MRN would broadcast only the races at NASCAR-owned (International Speedway Corporation) tracks, while Performance Racing Network, owned by Speedway Motorsports, the owner of most of the rest of the NASCAR tracks, would broadcast the races at SMI tracks. However, for the Truck Series, MRN would broadcast all Truck Series races, including those at SMI tracks. The new collaboration resulted in the two companies jointly broadcasting all Truck Series races at all tracks. With the 2025 season-opener at Daytona already having been run, the first race of the NRN was at Atlanta, the second race of the season. ^[1]
