What Should We Expect From NASCAR on TNT?

TNT is back in NASCAR for the first time in a decade — but don’t expect a nostalgia trip. This isn’t the same network from 2014. New format, new production, new purpose. And it’s all built around NASCAR’s boldest experiment yet: the in-season tournament. With five wild races, $1 million on the line, and a fresh TV team ready to shake things up, the summer got a lot more unpredictable.

• TNT returns with a new booth: Alexander, Letarte, and Dale Jr
• TrueTV and Bleacher Report add alt-casts, digital shows, and fan interactivity
• The in-season tournament begins: five races, one bracket, one millionaire
• Chicago’s street course may be finished after this year — is San Diego next?

This isn’t about replacing NBC or Fox, but rewriting the summer slate. With Atlanta, Chicago, Sonoma, Dover, and Indy on deck, the TNT stretch could reshape the sport’s midseason identity. And while some fans are still skeptical, TNT’s hybrid of nostalgia and innovation might be exactly what NASCAR needs. So what do you think? Will TNT deliver a game-changer or just another short-term experiment? Drop your picks, bracket guesses, and bold predictions below.
