In relation with ''NASCAR on NBC''
On January 26, 2016, NASCAR announced that the Cheez-It 355 at the Glen from Watkins Glen International would air on USA Network due to NBC and NBCSN's commitments to the Summer Olympics.With NBCSN closing at the conclusion of 2021, USA Network became the new NASCAR cable TV broadcaster for the NBC half. The network is scheduled to air 11 NASCAR Cup Series races and 15 NASCAR Xfinity Series races in 2022.
On November 12, 2025, USA Sports would be reformed by Versant, formed after NBCUniversal spun off most of their cable business. USA Sports would receive NBC's portion of the Cup Series schedule beginning in 2026. For that year, USA will air 10 of the races, while the broadcasts for the summer Daytona race and the final three races of the season, including the Cup Series Championship, would still air on NBC but be produced by USA Sports.
