Letarte is becoming the Matt Yocum of NASCAR when he worked both Fox and TNT back in the day.

So we've got:

Fox/FS1 - Mike Joy, Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer

TNT/Prime - Adam Alexander, Dale Jr, Steve Letarte

NBC/USA - Leigh Diffey, Steve Letarte ... nothing else confirmed.

Allen Bestwick is going to IndyCar on Fox most likely. CW is unknown. FS1 booth for ARCA and Trucks also unknown. I imagine Fox stays the course with Jamie Little for Trucks and ARCA though.

Personally, I hope Eric Brennan (CARS Tour on Flo, has done some ARCA races on FS1/FS2) gets called up.

I'm not sure what you mean. The article you linked shows four races will be on NBC, and those four will also be on Peacock.

Frankly, I wish they would go to USA across the board. Then I'd know where to find the race every week without having to check. I don't get why they don't stream everything on Peacock. But then I don't get why NBC has a separate sports stream, other than money, of course.

You referring to that in addition to an OTA/cable broadcast, or exclusively on peacock?

It’s becoming a joke, what’s on what, various streams, etc. etc. Being a Comcast/Xfinity cable subscriber, I was treated to “free” peacock for a bit, now they want to charge me ( a customer paying $$ to NBC via Comcast ), just like a non-NBC/Comcast one.

I always liked Adam Alexanders play by play when he did truck and Xfinity races for fox. The tnt/prime broadcasts should be pretty good.

In addition to Peacock.

NASCAR is the only sports property on NBC Sports that you have to have cable to watch. You should be able to watch every NBC Sports broadcast on Peacock, in addition to NBC or USA.

Worth noting:

NASCAR has also recently opened its new digital content facility in Concord, North Carolina, which wll also produce 10 Cup Series race broadcasts next season for Amazon and Turner Sports plus the entire Xfinity Series season on The CW, while also having the capacity to host a FAST channel like the one described above.

It sure seems like a NASCAR Network is in the works

The sanctioning body appears poised to maximize the capabilities of its new productions facility

I'm referring to why NBC has two streaming services, Peacock and a separate sports stream.

 

[Tumbleweed]

As long as Jeff Burton isn't showing up on any of the services, I'm fine with things.
