NASCAR releases starting times and networks for 2020 schedule

NASCAR unveiled 2020 start times and networks for Cup, Xfinity and Gander Outdoors Truck Series on Tuesday.

Twenty-one events from NASCAR’s top three tours will be broadcast on FOX or NBC starting with the Daytona 500 on Feb. 16 followed by Las Vegas, Auto Club Speedway, ISM Raceway, Atlanta Motor Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway. FOX will also feature the Coca-Cola 600 on May 24 before passing the torch to NBC in the second half of the season.

NBC Sports coverage begins on June 21 at Chicagoland Speedway. The first race featured on NBC will be the Brickyard 400 on July 5.

“With the groundswell of positive sentiment from fans over changes to the 2020 schedule, we were eager to finalize start times for all three national series as soon as possible,” said Brian Herbst, NASCAR senior vice president, broadcast and innovation.

“Pulling these together so quickly is testament to the collaboration between NASCAR, its broadcast partners, and the industry, which allows fans a longer runway to plan travel and purchase tickets for races next year.”
