NASCAR bringing live streaming in-car race view to Twitter

[ChexOrWrex]

NASCAR®announced today it will live-stream one in-car camera on Twitter for 15 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series™ races during the second half of the 2018 racing season, including all 10 NASCAR® Playoffs races.

Beginning with five regular season races this summer, the experience will once again provide fans a unique look from inside the race car with a live camera stream that can be accessed via NASCAR’s official Twitter handle, @NASCAR.

Fans can watch full broadcasts of these regular season and NASCAR Playoffs races on NBC or NBCSN, NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.

NASCAR debuted the in-car camera live stream on Twitter during last year’s NASCAR Playoffs, when four Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series™ Championship contenders drove the live audience on Twitter from the green flag all the way to Victory Lane.

That’s pretty exciting, is that a subscription service or free as long as we have a Twitter?

You can be logged in or out of twitter and still watch the stream.

This live stream will be accessible for free for logged-in and logged-out users in the United States via NASCAR’s official Twitter handle and connected devices

RaceBuddy..... That the name I was trying to think of. They used to offer live video of multiple cars each week. You could watch a split screen of multiple cars or click on any single car to watch its channel exclusively. I used to use this a lot but quit when I started watching most off of the DVR. I'm not even sure if it's still available but this almost sounds like a version of that.

They call it “Drive” now but it’s available on the nascar website.

Had the " battle cam " feed from nascar.com on on Sunday, shows the battle for positions as they happen, very impressed, found myself watching the computer more than the tv. Added bonus is no commercial breaks. Found it interesting that when they threw the checkered flag on the nascar feed there was still 2 laps to go on tv.
