The NBC Sports family of channels will carry 20 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series events this year leading up to the championship race at Homestead-Miami in November.

When Fox Sports hands off the second half of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season to NBC Sports in July, there will be a similar feel to the Peacock Network’s first race as there was to the opener in February — it begins at Daytona International Speedway. NBC will televise the final 20 events either on the NBC over-the-air network or cable’s NBC Sports Network including all Chase races that will lead to the crowning of the 2017 champion.
