Hittin’ the Road: NASCAR 2021 TV Schedules on Fox Sports & NBC Sports
The 2021 NASCAR season features more right turns.
Road circuits are no longer a novelty in NASCAR racing, with the sport expanding competition on non-oval tracks for the 2021 season.
The 2021 Cup Series schedule includes seven road courses, with new stops at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas; Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin; and the road courses at famed Daytona International Raceway and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. These four join the existing road races at Sonoma, Watkins Glen, and Charlotte’s ROVAL.
NASCAR will have a throwback event with Bristol Motor Speedway converted to a dirt track for its spring race, the first time since 1970 that the top series has raced on dirt. Nashville Superspeedway will also host its first Cup Series race since 1984.
Other noteworthy developments for the 2021 season:
• Alex Bowman takes over the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevy for the retired Jimmie Johnson. The No. 88, formerly driven by Bowman and Dale Earnhardt Jr., will not run in 2021.
• NBA legend Michael Jordan and driver Denny Hamlin are co-owners of the new 23XI Racing team, which fields the No. 23 Toyota driven by Bubba Wallace.
• Clint Bowyer retired after a 16-year Cup Series career and now joins Mike Joy and Jeff Gordon in the Fox broadcast booth. Chase Briscoe gets promoted from the Xfinity Series and drives the Stewart-Haas Racing No. 14 Ford formerly driven by Bowyer.
• Erik Jones takes over the iconic No. 43 for Richard Petty Motorsports.
• After being fired by Chip Ganassi Racing, Kyle Larson has been reinstated and drives the No. 5 Chevy for Hendrick Motorsports.
• Trackhouse Racing joins the NASCAR fray and fields the No. 99 Chevy with driver Daniel Suarez.
• The NASCAR All-Star Race moves to Texas Motor Speedway on June 13.
• Camping World returns as the title sponsor of the Truck Series, which it previously sponsored from 2009-18.
