NASCAR has been working on its new TV deal and thankfully, they are nearing the end of the process. It has been a long journey but FOX and NBC are expected to stay. However, NASCAR wants to carve out a third package dedicated to streaming in the summer. The latest update suggests that it could be bigger than initially anticipated.
According to Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand, NASCAR has expanded its proposed midseason streaming package to 10 races in an effort to close out a deal. The two favorites to land the streaming package are Amazon and Turner. Both have been connected to a possible move since NASCAR truly started to negotiate for the new TV deal.
In fact, Amazon and Turner could split the package with each getting five races, according to Ourand. The goal would be for one of them to take the 10-race package but that is a possibility. NASCAR will continue to work on crossing the finish line with one of those companies as the days of streaming are starting to take over the sports world.
