There, you can tune into NASCAR’s driver cam. But if that’s not the ideal way for you to watch the race, we still recommend getting access to FS1 somehow. Later on in the season you can watch any NASCAR Cup Series race airing on TNT, plus Cup practice and qualifying sessions for the latter half of this season.
On top of select sports, like NBA games on TBS, TNT and TruTV, Max has buzzy shows including The Pitt,The White Lotus, The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, Dune: Prophecy and more.Â
