2021 Daytona 500 TV Channels Broadcasting Rights

November 28, 2020 by Edward Parker Leave a Comment

The Daytona 500 2021 is coming near, and we are sure that none of you would want to miss the TV broadcast. Next year would be the 63rd running of the race, and you could be sure that this race would be as interesting as the last one.

For people who cannot come to the arena would want to watch the live broadcast, it is important to know about 2021 Daytona 500 TV Channels Broadcasting Rights.

Daytona 500 TV 2021

There are four major channels which hold broadcasting of Daytona rights throughout the years: ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. The first station to broadcast the whole session of the race live was CBS, and it was considered risky by their executives. But then when harsh weather came, and the television gained a huge number of viewers, this live broadcast was considered the groundbreaking of the modern sports broadcasting. This flag-tog-flag broadcast helped to introduce sports to the public and gained fame at that time.

The current exclusive Daytona 500 broadcasting rights belong to FOX in the United States, and this contract has validity until the 2024 NASCAR season. Holding the exclusive rights means that FOX also has the rights to broadcast any events that will take place during the Daytona 500 Speedweeks, for example, the Clash, pole qualifying, the truck series, the duel, and the other events including the practice sessions. Some additional events will also get the support from the FOX sub channels like FS1 and FS2.

Sports broadcasting was not like what we see nowadays; the channel broadcasting rights belonged to ABC in their program Wide World of Sports. The broadcasts were back then from 1962 to 1978, when they made a record of the race and then edited the contents. The broadcasts only contain the highlighted part of the race and scheduled to air the following weekend. It began to change when ABC started to make a semi-live broadcast in 1974, and it continued until it becomes the ones we watch nowadays.

In the beginning, it was ABC’s Wide World of Sports which dominate the broadcasting rights from 1959(the first) until 1978. In the following year, flag-to-flag coverage began its appearance, and it attracted many people to watch the broadcast. In this period, the CBS owned the broadcasting rights until the year 2000. During 2001 – 2006, the broadcasting network was distributed evenly between FOX and NBC, which the even-numbered years belong to NBC and the odd ones to FOX.

In this upcoming year up to 2024, the Daytona 500 broadcasting rights belong exclusively on FOX, which means you would be able to watch the entire season plus additional events on their channel. Make sure you have prepared your subscriptions before the event begins on February 16th.

Unpredictable predictions! Will the excitement blazing even more?

February 14, 2020 by Edward Parker Leave a Comment

The 2020 Daytona 500, also known as “Great American Racing.”, It is expected to fulfill the desires of the fans of this prestigious event. This year the Daytona 500 promises a lot of fun for its loyal fans. As you know, in 2019 this race was won by Denny Hamlin who led the 30 rounds of the NASCAR race. Surely the audience will be very much anticipating Hamlin’s actions to defend his champion title which he has had since 2016.

Sportline made predictions for the Daytona 500 2020 using a proven computer model, and the results were quite surprising. Besides, the simulation was carried out as many as 10,000 times before finally, this exciting result appeared. The model crushed its NASCAR picks last year. That including calling 2019 Daytona 500 champion Denny Hamlin as a top-four contender from the start. It also nailed eight of the top 10 drivers at the Pennzoil 400 and then hit nine of the top 10 drivers at the Go Bowling at The Glen. It also includes putting winner Joey Logano in its projected top five. Also, it called Martin Truex Jr. to win the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma.

Martin Truex is the champion of the 2017 NASCAR Cup Energy Monster Cup. He has made many successes at Daytona International Speedway for years. He has finished in the top 15, counted five times since 2014. Although he never won at Daytona, he had runner-up twice on this track. Truex has also scored 23 of the 26 wins in his career at NASCAR since 2016. It’s only natural if Truex becomes one of the potential winners because of its proven ability. The other prospective winners based on predictions of Sportline models are Joey Logano. Surely the fans were very surprised by the results. Logano is Vegas’s co-favorite at 10-1 and he can’t solve the top three. Logano won his first title in 2018, but unfortunately, he fell to the fifth position in 2019. Although the Logano road is not as smooth as imagined, he never won the 2015 Daytona 500 and entered the top 6 in The Great American Race.

With this prediction, of course, the fans are becoming increasingly curious. It is hoped that the Daytona 500 this year will not only cure fans’ longing but can also provide impressive and more spectacular races than in previous years. That’s why you should not miss the latest news and continue to support your favorite racers!
