NBC Sports’ motorsports coverage this weekend is headlined by the NASCAR Cup Series at Richmond Raceway on USA Network on Sunday as well as the Pro Motocross Championship from Unadilla MX on NBC and Peacock this Saturday.
NASCAR: CUP SERIES COOK OUT 400
Richmond Raceway in Virginia hosts the NASCAR Cup Series’ Cook Out 400 this Sunday at 6 p.m. ET on USA Network. A 30-minute Countdown to Green Sunday at 5:30 p.m. ET on USA Network leads into live race coverage. This is the first Cup Series race since July 21.
2021 Cup Series Champion Kyle Larson (749 pts) sits in first in the Cup Series standings, trailed by Chase Elliott (-10), Tyler Reddick (-15), Denny Hamlin (-43), and Ryan Blaney (-73). Chris Buescher won last year’s race at Richmond.
Coverage from Richmond begins this Saturday on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app with Cup Series qualifying at 4:30 p.m. ET.
NBC Sports coverage from Richmond will feature members of its broadcast team embedded with the race team of two-time Cup Series Champion Kyle Busch, highlighting the teamwork and contributions at every level that are required to create a successful day at the racetrack.
Additionally, the Cook Out 400 will see teams for the first time in a points paying race have the option to choose between multiple sets of tires, including a softer “option” tire along with the more conventional “prime” tires. The option tire provides more speed in a shorter time, while the prime tire is more durable over the long run. NBC Sports’ coverage will include a breakdown of the new rule as well as a visual accompaniment.
21-time Cup Series race winner and “The Mayor” of NASCAR Jeff Burton and Daytona 500-winning crew chief Steve Letarte will serve as analysts for both the Cup and Xfinity Series races this weekend from Nashville Superspeedway with NASCAR race announcer Rick Allen. Marty Snider, Kim Coon, and Dillon Welch will serve as pit reporters.
Snider will host pre- and post-race coverage alongside Burton and Letarte. Burton won the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway in 1998.
The official home of the NASCAR Championship and Playoffs, NBC Sports will present the final 20 NASCAR Cup Series races as well as 11 NASCAR Xfinity Series races in 2024 across NBC, USA Network and Peacock, culminating with the Championship at Phoenix Raceway on Nov. 9-10.
