Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another one of my little adventures. So, I’m a huge NASCAR fan, right? And this weekend was a big deal – the Cup Series Championship. I really really wanted to catch it, but I wasn’t sure about the timings and the channel.
First things first, I grabbed my phone and started googling “what time does NASCAR start today and what channel”. You know, just the usual stuff when you’re trying to figure out how to watch something. I got a bunch of results, but they were a bit all over the place.

I saw some articles saying the race starts at 3 p.m. ET, but then others mentioned different times for different races. It was a bit confusing, to be honest. And the channel situation? Just as messy. I found out that it was supposed to be on NBC, which is cool, but I also saw mentions of FS1 and USA Network.
- Digging a bit deeper, I realized that different races have different schedules. Makes sense, I guess.
- For the Championship, though, it seemed like 3 p.m. ET on Sunday was the magic time. And NBC was definitely the channel.
- I even stumbled upon some info about radio coverage on MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, which is pretty neat if you’re into that.
So, to make sure I didn’t miss anything, I double-checked everything on the official NASCAR website. Always good to go straight to the source, you know? And yeah, they confirmed it – 3 p.m. ET, live on NBC.
I made sure to set a reminder on my phone, and when Sunday rolled around, I was all set. Got my snacks ready, settled on the couch, and tuned into NBC. And there it was, the NASCAR Cup Series Championship, live and in all its glory.
The Takeaway
If you’re ever in doubt about when and where to watch a NASCAR race, just do a quick search online, and you should be able to find what you need. Maybe even check the official sources to be extra sure. It’s not rocket science, just a bit of digging around. And hey, it’s totally worth it to catch these races live!
