If you’re a racing fan that appreciates a sport with a storied history going and fierce competition, NASCAR should be part of your Sunday routine. The racing series goes back to 1948 and the season runs from February to November. Since Jimmie Johnson’s five-year run of dominance from 2006 to 2010 there hasn’t been a single repeat champion, meaning unpredictability is the name of the game.
The next test for 2021 Cup Series champion Kyle Larson and other top racers is the Ally 400 on Sunday, June 26.
On this page you’ll find information on how to stream NASCAR, when the races are, and what channels carry them.

2022 NASCAR storylines
The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season features no shortage of intriguing storylines. Here’s what diehard fans and casual viewers need to know.
Kyle Larson goes for a repeat: After sitting out most of the 2020 season, Larson won 10 races and the 2021 Cup Series title last year. Larson began his second season with Hendricks Motorsports by winning the WISE Power 400 in February.
The next generation (of cars): NASCAR officially introduced its new Next Gen car for the 2022 season. The car includes a shorter greenhouse, widened track width, and a single lug-nut design rather than previous generations’ traditional five lug-nut design.
Bubba Wallace continues pursuing history: The 28-year-old Wallace remains NASCAR’s only black full-time Cup Series driver. He became the first black driver to win a Cup Series race in nearly 60 years when he emerged victorious at Talladega last October. Wallace narrowly lost to Austin Cindric in the 2022 Daytona 500 in February.
Old faces, new places: NASCAR’s free agency proved fruitful for several of the sport’s top drivers. Longtime Team Penske driver Brad Keselowski joined Roush Fenway Racing as a driver and co-owner ahead of the 2022 season. Kurt Busch, the 2004 Cup Series champion, joined NBA legend Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing after a long stint with Chip Ganassi Racing. Busch’s former CGR teammate, Ross Chastain, joined Pitbull’s Trackhouse Racing.
