NASCAR and FOX Sports announced a two-year extension to an agreement the two sides made last October, it was announced Thursday.
The original deal, set to start in 2015, will now run through 2024. FOX Sports added exclusive rights to three additional NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events and the first 14 NASCAR Nationwide Series events of each season. FOX secured exclusive rights to the entire NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season through 2022 last fall, and that part of the agreement also has been extended through 2024.
Last week, NASCAR signed a deal with NBC Sports Group to cover the second half of the NASCAR season, including the Chase to the Championship. That deal begins in 2015 and ends in 2024, so NASCAR has everything aligned with its TV rights.
FOX Sports will air nine Cup races, the other seven will air on the FOX Sports 1, which debuts Aug. 17.
