”They can’t show us every little detail”: YouTuber backs NASCAR’s F1-inspired Cup Series decision

There’s good news for racing fanatics ahead of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. A monthly $9.99 Max subscription will give them access to exclusive driver cam footage and scanner audio for all 36 points-paying races. This is indeed a nod to Formula 1, known to give its fans access to exclusive helmet camera views.

NASCAR fans will be able to choose between individual in-car cams or two pre-set multi-view options, which will feature four drivers each. In order to increase engagement, B/R Racing will hold weekly polls on its social media platforms where the fans will be able to vote for their four favorite drivers, who will then feature in a special fan-selected stream on Max.

Famous YouTuber and NASCAR enthusiast, Eric Estepp was pleased to hear the news. In one of his recent videos, he addressed the launch of this brand-new NASCAR Driver Cam experience and said,

“TV does a good job of showing us the bigger picture, but they can't show us every little detail when there are 40 cars on track and the broadcast is crammed int a 4-hour window. Having access to every driver's POV and their scanner audio after the race just made Mondays much more interesting...so many more storylines will now be available to the public.” (4:25)

But there’s more to it. The fans will also have an option to pause, rewind, and replay their favorite in-car videos. They will also have access to real-time telemetry data like speed, RPM, and gear details.

This feature will launch with the first race of 2025, i.e., the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium scheduled for Sunday, February 2. Fans can watch the 200-lap event live on FOX or listen to radio updates on MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio from 8 pm ET onwards.
