NASCAR Fans Are Thrilled With Amazon Prime's 2026 Announcers

If you haven't been enjoying NASCAR on most of the broadcast networks so far, you might enjoy this change of pace.

On Wednesday, NASCAR announced that NASCAR on Prime returns to Amazon Prime Video for a new season starting this weekend with the Coca-Cola 600. The Prime Video slate will consist of five straight weeks of NASCAR Cup races, culminating in the Anduril 250 at Naval Base Coronado.

"NASCAR on Prime restarts its second season of exclusive Cup Series coverage on Sunday, May 24 at 5:00 p.m. ET with the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Prime Video's action-packed slate includes five consecutive races, culminating at San Diego's Naval Base Coronado for NASCAR's first-ever race on an active military base, signature on-site analysis from down on the track, and a next-generation presentation that enhances the viewing experience for fans," NASCAR announced.

"Hell Yeah!"

NASCAR fans were over the moon from the news, with many calling it the best NASCAR broadcast out there and wishing that more races could be done through Prime Video.

"Prime should get the entire season. Best broadcast by far," one user remarked.

"Cant wait to hear AA Jr and Letarte again!! Its literally the best combo since Bob, Ned, and Benny!" wrote another.

"Bro they got Truex out retirement for one weekend. What can't Prime do?" another asked.

"This lineup is incredible. Mark Martin and MTJ on this list?! @SportsonPrime doesn't disappoint."

"Seeing this post has made me 110% more interested in watching NASCAR than I was with FOX."
