In relation with NASCAR on NBC[]

Main article: 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]

NBCSN is set to shutdown at the conclusion of 2021, and USA Network will become the new NASCAR cable TV broadcaster. The network is scheduled to air 11 NASCAR Cup Series races and 15 NASCAR Xfinity Series races in 2022.[12]
