NASCAR on The CW is the branding used for broadcasts of NASCAR Xfinity Series races on The CW. NASCAR Productions produces the broadcasts in partnership with CW Sports. The network will broadcast the entire NASCAR Xfinity Series season through 2031. The CW also broadcast the Xfinity Series playoff races in 2024, along with regular season finale at Bristol Motor Speedway, in collaboration with NBC Sports.

History

On July 28, 2023, NASCAR announced that CW Sports would gain the TV broadcast rights to the Xfinity Series starting in the next TV contract which would begin in 2025. Unlike the previous 2015 to 2024 TV contract, where Fox and NBC shared the TV rights, The CW would broadcast the full season for the series. NASCAR Productions will produce the broadcasts in-house from its new studio in Concord, North Carolina.^[1]

On April 11, 2024, NASCAR announced that The CW would air the final eight races of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season under a sublicense agreement from NBC Sports. The races would remain produced by NBC Sports, using NASCAR on NBC lap-by-lap commentator Rick Allen and analysts Jeff Burton and Steve Letarte.^[2]

The CW announced its 2025 coverage plans on January 14, 2025. Adam Alexander will be the lead lap-by-lap announcer, with color commentators Jamie McMurray and Parker Kligerman. Dillon Welch and Kim Coon will be featured as pit reporters. Carla Gebhart will host NASCAR Countdown Live before every race.^[3]
