Prime Video to debut with 2025 Coca-Cola 600
CONCORD, N.C. — Amazon Prime Video will kick off its race broadcasts in 2025 with the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Prime Video will broadcast the Coca-Cola 600 next year, ending a 24-year run of FOX broadcasting the iconic Memorial Day Weekend race.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Prime Video as they usher in a new era of sports content,” said Marcus Smith, President and CEO of Charlotte Motor Speedway’s parent company, Speedway Motorsports. “Having Dale Jr. in the booth to provide his veteran perspective will open the doors to a new streaming audience while providing avid race fans with tremendous insight and viewpoints that only he could.”
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is the only person Prime Video has named to its NASCAR crew so far. Earnhardt Jr. will also be in the booth for TNT Sports.
