Is NASCAR on Fox or FS1?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

NASCAR races are broadcasted on both Fox and FS1. Fox Sports 1, also known as FS1, is the cable outlet for Fox Sports’ production of NASCAR races under the Fox NASCAR banner. FS1 has been broadcasting Monster Energy Cup Series races since 2014, Xfinity Series races since 2015, and Gander Outdoors Truck Series races since 2013.

As a fan of NASCAR, I have personally watched numerous races on both Fox and FS1. The broadcasting schedule usually alternates between the two networks, with some races being shown on Fox and others on FS1. This allows for a wide distribution of NASCAR coverage and ensures that fans can catch their favorite races regardless of which network they have access to.

It is worth noting that the selection of races shown on Fox or FS1 may vary each season. Generally, the more high-profile races, such as the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600, and the playoffs, are typically broadcasted on Fox. These races tend to have larger viewership and are considered marquee events in the NASCAR calendar.

On the other hand, FS1 often broadcasts races that are not as high-profile but are still significant in the NASCAR season. This includes regular season races, some playoff races, and events from the Xfinity Series and Gander Outdoors Truck Series. FS1 provides a platform for showcasing the talents and excitement of these races to a dedicated fan base.

Personally, I appreciate the coverage provided by both Fox and FS1. Fox Sports has a long-standing relationship with NASCAR and brings a level of expertise and professionalism to their broadcasts. The commentary team, led by Mike Joy, provides insightful analysis and commentary throughout the race, enhancing the viewing experience for fans.

FS1, being a dedicated sports channel, also offers in-depth coverage of NASCAR races. The network often includes pre-race shows, post-race analysis, and interviews with drivers and team members. This additional content helps to provide a comprehensive understanding of the race and the sport as a whole.

NASCAR races are broadcasted on both Fox and FS1. While Fox generally covers the more high-profile races, FS1 offers extensive coverage of regular season races, as well as events from the Xfinity Series and Gander Outdoors Truck Series. Both networks provide valuable coverage and contribute to the overall enjoyment of NASCAR for fans.
