NASCAR Fans Excited for Amazon Prime Video Debut Broadcast

Last night, all eyes were on Amazon as they aired their very first NASCAR race—the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte—on Prime Video. And let me tell you, they didn’t disappoint.

It was a big deal, being the first NASCAR race exclusively on a streaming platform. Some folks were worried about finding the races or needing to pay to watch, but it turns out the quality of the broadcast and the lineup Amazon put together for the races was top-notch.

NASCAR races on Amazon featured a mix of familiar and fresh voices. You had Adam Alexander, a seasoned NASCAR commentator, leading the play-by-play action with Steve Letarte and fan-favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr. by his side in the booth. Meanwhile, the studio crew included Danielle Trotta, joined by newcomers Carl Edwards and Corey Lajoie. The chemistry between these groups seemed so natural that you’d think they’d been working together for years.

Broadcasting 600 miles is no joke, but even after NASCAR’s longest race, Amazon Prime Video went above and beyond. They even aired an extended post-race show, offering dedicated coverage that only a platform like Prime Video, with no barriers, could provide.

The production quality was top-notch—from the camera work to the audio to the graphics, everything was on point. The buzz on social media among NASCAR fans after the race was overwhelmingly positive, with many calling Amazon Prime Video’s racing debut a massive success.

It’s up to other networks airing NASCAR to step up their game after what Amazon has done. And while Amazon has only five races to broadcast this summer, the bar has been set high.

So, here’s to hoping Amazon keeps pushing the envelope, and who knows, maybe we’ll see them air The Daytona 500 in the future. The future of streaming NASCAR races is looking pretty bright!
