The CW is giving viewers an early taste of NASCAR coverage, adding eight Xfinity Series races to the fall schedule ahead of the 2025 start of a 6-year rights deal.
The run of season-ending races will start September 20 in the Xfinity Series Championship from Phoenix Raceway on Saturday, November 9. NBC Sports will handle production, with Rick Allen serving as lead race announcer alongside analysts Jeff Burton and Steve Letarte, and NBC Sports VP of Motorsports Jeff Behnke in charge of production.
The CW announced last summer that it will will take over exclusive rights in 2025 to the NASCAR Xfinity Series, which is on the next tier down from NASCAR’s main Cup Series but nonetheless has an avid fan base.

Stock-car racing, along with LIV Golf and college sports, has been added to the CW lineup in recent months as part of a broader programming shift initiated by Nexstar Media Group.
