This is pretty cool.

NBCSN compliments NBC's live coverage of the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship race from Homestead-Miami Speedway with Hot Pass Sunday November 20th at 2:30pm/et. While NBC provides the primary broadcast of Jimmie Johnson's quest for a historic seventh Championship and the last race of Tony Stewart's career, NBCSN offers simultaneous live coverage dedicated to each of the Championship 4 drivers.

Utilizing multi-window displays and in-car cameras, Hot Pass provides viewers an in-depth look at Johnson, Carl Edwards, Joey Logano and Kyle Busch as they battle for the 2016 title. On-air graphics highlight the point differentials and field changes between the four drives while a pane of race facts and figures give viewers up to the minute statistics. NBCSN's Hot Pass provides continuous in-car audio, highlighting team communication, punctuated with commentary from race announcer Leigh Diffey and NASCAR on NBC reporter Parker Kligerman.

"With NASCAR Hot Pass, you won't miss a move from the four Championship drivers," said Rich O'Connor, NBC Sports motorsports producer. "It provides fans with an inside look at the strategy, communication and pressure felt by the Championship Four drivers." Last year's dual coverage of the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship, on NBC and NBCSN, averaged 7.64 million viewers and posted a combined 4.42 national HH rating. It was the most-watched NASCAR season finale since NBC presented the championship event in 2005.

If NASCAR knew what they were doing, hot pass would always be free.

I don't think that's up to NASCAR. It's up to the network broadcasting the sport.

At one time it was free to DirecTV customers and it was awesome. Then, they decided to charge for the service. That was the end of those broadcasts with the exception of the occasional one off broadcast.

It's always up to NASCAR. They just have to reduce some fees or write a check

Yeah, I saw that but didn't comprehend the word 'offers'. Thanks.

I'm not talented enough to effectively follow two sources of info at the same time.

They've essentially been doing this on "RaceBuddy" and on the Fox Sports Go and NBC Sports Live Extra apps.

I watched the race on the Championship 4 feed last year. The commentators were Leigh Diffey and Dale Jarrett, and they didn't talk much. It was mostly radio communications and stuff.
