Groovy Hollow Recap
Over the past few seasons, NASCAR has become more complicated.
Broadcast partners are changing, streaming prices continue to rise, and race fans are left sorting out multiple logins and paying monthly charges to follow their favorite drivers. Many race fans are now seeking a simpler and more affordable way to watch races, and that is where Tablo TV is making a difference.
If you have been following NASCAR this year, you may have noticed Tablo TV online, on track, and on social media. They’re everywhere in the world of NASCAR, appearing on the sides of race cars, helmets, and firesuits, as well as in videos from fan-favorite content creators like Eric Estepp.
That’s because Tablo TV is selling something every race fan can relate to, a simple model where you make a one-time purchase of a Tablo device, available with or without a TV antenna, and enjoy free TV and full control of your viewing experience, allowing you to follow the racing without another subscription hanging over your head
Tablo TV is a device that connects to a TV antenna and your home WiFi. Once installed, it receives free over-the-air broadcast channels and a curated group of free streaming channels, making them available through the Tablo app. Better yet, the Tablo TV app is compatible with various smart TVs and platforms, including Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, as well as smartphones and tablets.
It really is that simple. Pay for the device and the antenna once. After that, there is no need to worry about a monthly subscription or fee to continue watching.
For NASCAR fans, the most important part is reliable access to key local channels. In many areas, a simple antenna can pick up FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS, and The CW. This means Cup Series races airing on FOX and NBC are available through Tablo when those stations are received over the air. The entire NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series schedule, which airs on The CW, also becomes easily accessible.
Beyond live viewing, Tablo also works as a DVR. Viewers can pause live races, rewind to catch a crucial restart, or record the entire event to watch at their convenience. The device comes with over 50 hours of onboard storage, and users can connect an external drive to further expand its sizable base capacity.
NASCAR race days are long and often unpredictable. A fan might see a clean race with long green flag runs, or they might get a string of cautions, weather delays, and overtime attempts. A typical weekend can also include pre-race coverage, other support races, and post-race reaction.
Tablo gives fans more control over that schedule. Someone who needs to step away during the middle stages of a race can pause live TV and pick up right where they left off. If there is contact on a restart, they can rewind and watch the restart again from the start. When a race is red-flagged, participants can pause, return later, and fast-forward once the broadcast returns to green-flag action.
Fans who work weekends or have family plans can set recordings and watch the broadcast on their own time. A full Cup race, a NOAPs race, and a favorite prime-time show can all fit into the available storage. With an external drive, there is room for even more.
Placement in the house can also become easier. Instead of buying multiple antennas for different rooms, a fan can place one antenna and the Tablo device wherever the signal is strongest. The Tablo app then delivers that content to other rooms that have a compatible device and a network connection. The race can be on in the living room, garage, or kitchen. All of those screens connect back to that one antenna and Tablo device.
Tablo has made a clear effort to support a hard-working driver in the sport. Ryan Ellis carried the Tablo brand in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in the No. 71 Tablo TV Chevrolet for DGM Racing this past season.
At Kansas Speedway, that partnership stood out with a football-themed Tablo paint scheme. The crew wore matching football-themed gear, and the car represented a fan-friendly crossover between racing and football season. During that race, fans could tune into Ryan Ellis’s in-car camera on The CW app, presented with support from Tablo TV.
Looking ahead, Ellis is now part of an expanded effort with Young’s Motorsports for the 2026 season. That effort gives Tablo more presence in the garage and on the track in future years. Fans who like to support companies that back drivers they appreciate can easily spot Tablo’s commitment.
One of the best windows into this partnership came from Eric Estepp. In a recent episode, Eric spent a full race day behind the scenes with Ryan Ellis and the No. 71 TabloTV Chevrolet at Kansas.
Eric’s show has also featured Tablo as a title sponsor, which puts the brand at the front of episodes that many fans already treat as their daily NASCAR briefing. When fans tune in to hear Eric break down silly season moves, TV deals, or race weekends, they see Tablo right there alongside them.
That partnership extends to weekly race content as well, with Estepp producing Tablo-sponsored Xfinity Race Rewind episodes that walk fans through how each race unfolded, which moves changed the outcome, and where underdog teams, like Ryan Ellis and his group, made the most of their equipment.
Most recently, Eric helped spotlight the next chapter of Tablo’s NASCAR involvement by MC’ing the announcement of Ryan Ellis’s expanded effort with Young’s Motorsports at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Tablo also makes a great gift for NASCAR fans. Pay once for a device that changes how they watch racing can be a practical gift that stays useful all year.
With Tablo, fans can watch races, football games, and weekly TV across more than 125 live and streaming channels, including the four major broadcast networks and The CW, all without monthly fees or subscriptions. For someone who loves sports, speed, and saving money, this offer is the perfect fit.
As prices rise and TV rights continue to shuffle around, fans are seeking a reliable way to stay connected to the sport they love. Tablo offers access to key NASCAR networks, flexible DVR tools, and whole-home viewing through a one-time purchase, all backed by visible support of drivers like Ryan Ellis. All this and more is why an ever-growing number of NASCAR fans are starting to give Tablo TV a serious look.
