This is a parodyBeginning with today’s 600, the next five Cup races will stream on Prime Video, Amazon’s live streaming service, for the second straight year. For anyone who missed last year’s coverage, here’s what you can expect:
—Going online and whining about how the race “isn’t on free tv” will change nothing, especially because the World 600 was in TBS in the 90’s. Now take a second to remember how bad TBS’s coverage was and remember that you HAD TO PAY FOR IT.
—Adam Alexander, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Steve Letarte are the commentators, essentially splitting the old NBC crew in half. Prime got the down-home, folksy half, and NBC kept the high-pitched, excited half.
—Analysis comes from Carl Edwards, a 28-time Cup Series race winner and Busch Series champion. Oh, and, uh Corey Lajoie for some reason.
—The last three races on Prime will again determine the brackets for the following in-season tournament, of which I still can’t figure out why it exists.
—Prime holds the streaming rights for the races at Charlotte (cookie-cutter oval), Nashville Superspeedway (smaller cookie-cutter oval), Michigan (D-shaped oval), Pocono (triangle), and the Naval Base Coronado circuit (probably going to be a disaster, but an entertaining one).
—If you enjoy the Prime crew, you’re in luck—pretty much the same on-air talent will return for the next five races on TNT. Nascar on TNT—its like Prime, but with way more commercials.
