After a three-week hiatus due to NBC’s coverage of the Summer Olympics in Paris, France, the NASCAR Cup Series returned to action last Sunday night with the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway.

This race was broadcast live on USA Network, not NBC. USA Network replaced NBC Sports Network as the NBCUniversal-owned alternate channel during the NBC portion of the broadcast schedule after NBC Sports Network shut down at the end of 2021.

This Sunday afternoon’s FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway, the 24th of 26 races in the regular season schedule, will also not be broadcast live on NBC.

Sunday’s 200-lap race on the 2.0-mile (3.219-kilometer) four-turn oval in Brooklyn, Michigan, will be broadcast live on the USA Network.

The grid has been set metrically after Saturday’s qualifying practice was cancelled due to rain and can be found here.

In total, NBC’s portion of this year’s schedule consists of the final 10 races of the regular season and all 10 playoff races. Of the 10 regular season races, six were scheduled for USA Network, while only four were scheduled for NBC.

There are three races left in the regular season schedule, including the FireKeepers Casino 400. The other two are the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, August 24, and the Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway on Sunday, September 1. Of those three races, only the Coke Zero Sugar 400 will be broadcast live on NBC.

As for the four-round, 10-race postseason, the first four races will all be broadcast live on the USA Network, while the final six will be shown on NBC to conclude the 2024 season.

Tune in to USA Network this Sunday, August 18th at 2:00 p.m. ET for live coverage of the FireKeepers Casino 400 from Michigan International Speedway. RFK Racing’s Chris Buescher is the reigning race winner. Start a free trial of FuboTV and don’t miss any of the action!
