NASCAR on USA is the branding used for broadcasts of NASCAR races that are produced by NBC Sports and televised on several NBCUniversal-owned television networks, including USA Network in the United States.

Coverage of the Twin 125's race

From 1982^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] to 1984,^[5] USA Network broadcast the UNO Twin 125s^[6]^[7] (now the Bluegreen Vacations Duel). USA used CBS'^[8]^[9] crew, graphics and announcers.

USA also aired the Atlanta ARCA race in 1985 and televised several NASCAR Busch Series races^[10] in the late 1980s.

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.^[11]

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.^[12]
