Kansas Speedway and Phoenix International Raceway will start differently than originally scheduled as NASCAR adjusted the start times for both races after communication with broadcast partner NBC Sports Group.
The Kansas Lottery 300 from Kansas Speedway on Oct. 15 will air on NBC at 3 p.m. ET, while Phoenix International Raceway on Nov. 12 will air on NBCSN in primetime, beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET. Radio coverage will be provided by the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, channel 90.
“These updates were made with the goal of benefitting NASCAR fans, with Kansas now airing on NBC and Phoenix airing in primetime,” said Steve Herbst, senior vice president, broadcasting and production at NASCAR. “Our ability to adjust the start times for these two critically important races in the NASCAR XFINITY Series Chase is a testament to the collaboration between NASCAR, our broadcast partners, teams and tracks to deliver the best product possible to our fans.”
NASCAR announced at the beginning of the season the NASCAR XFINITY Series would feature a Chase for the first time, following in the footsteps of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series the past 12 years. The NASCAR XFINITY Series will crown its champion in the Ford EcoBoost 300 on Nov. 19 at 3:30 p.m. ET (NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM).
