I subscribe to Premier TV. Off the top of my head monthly costs are around £13 - £14 a month. They occasionally show some of the support races. The race are shown live and are often repeated, if like me there is too much motorsport to watch at any one time.

Premier sports is the only way to watch live. Every race is shown and repeats of the xfinity and trucks. I do it through sky so i can record the races to my sky box. You can also stream and watch on demand via the premier app and website.

I have been paying this for over 10 years. I did notice that over the last few years nearly all the races have been available for free on youtube after a few days. Although not sure on where the feed comes from and the quality or reliability.

10-20 min highlights are normally available after a few hours on Youtube, then full races within the week on Nascar's official channel. If you just stay away from the results, you can watch for free this way.

E.g. Phoenix full race is here;

Premier Sports.

£10 a month if you pay the year in advance - which you might as well, given the length of the season.

There are far fewer ad' breaks than you get in USA, which is great. It's a shame they dropped the mid-week shows but the pre-race covers pretty much all of that anyway.

If you record the races to watch later you need to keep an eye on the Channels. Sometimes they show on Premier 2 and if you have the series set on Premier 1 you can get tripped up.

If you miss a full race there's usually a highlights show later in the week. And I think it's usually on Premier 2.

The day after last Fall's race at Kansas City I drove a NASCAR round the 1.5 mile banked oval. Solo with radio spotter/instructor. Quite an experience. All very Dukes of Hazzard getting in and out through the window. And the noise!
