Editing NASCAR Xfinity Series (section)

==Television broadcasting==

===United States===
In the 1980s, races were sparsely shown, mainly by [[ESPN]] if they were covering the cup race at the same track. Starting in 1990, more races began to be shown. By the mid-1990s, all races were shown. Most standalone races were aired on [[TNN Motor Sports/TNN Sports|TNN]], which helped grow coverage of the series, while races that were companion races with Winston Cup dates mostly aired on the network airing the Cup race. TNN aired some of these races, which also aired on [[NASCAR on CBS|CBS]], [[NASCAR on NBC|NBC]], [[NASCAR on ESPN|ESPN]], [[ESPN on ABC|ABC]] and [[NASCAR on TBS|TBS]].

From 2001 until 2006, [[NASCAR on Fox|Fox Sports]] covered the entire first half of the Busch Grand National season, while [[NASCAR on NBC|NBC]] and [[NASCAR on TNT|TNT]] both aired races during the second half, with Turner Sports producing all the coverage for both networks. However, in even numbered years, coverage was changed, with the opening race at Daytona airing on NBC in 2004, on TNT in 2002 and 2006 (due to [[NBC Olympic broadcasts|NBC's coverage of the Winter Olympics]]) and the track's July race airing on FX. Large portions of [[NASCAR on Fox|Fox's]] coverage aired on sister network [[FX (TV channel)|FX]], with a few marquee events on the network itself.

From 2007 until 2014, [[NASCAR on ESPN|ESPN]] was the home of the renamed Nationwide Series. Generally four races per season aired on ABC, with the remainder on ESPN, [[ESPN2]], and [[ESPNews]]. Early in ESPN's run, [[ESPN Classic]] was used for NNS overflow, however with less carriage of that network, this practice ended. Fox Sports made a return to the series, airing the 2011 [[Bubba Burger 250]] at [[Richmond Raceway|Richmond]] on [[Speed Channel]], as ESPN gave up its exclusive rights to the race because of programming conflicts.

In 2015, the NXS returned to [[Fox Sports (United States)|Fox Sports]] during the first half of the season. Like the previous time Fox held rights to the series, most of the coverage aired on cable, though this time on [[Fox Sports 1|FS1]]. Four races aired on Fox itself until 2019, when all races moved to FS1. The second half of the NXS season is televised by [[NBC Sports]]. Four to five races air on [[NBC]] itself, while the others air on [[NBCSN]] (until 2020) or, during the Olympics, [[CNBC]] or [[USA Network]] (prior to 2020). Since 2021, USA Network had carried all races not aired on NBC or Fox Sports.

On July 28, 2023, it was announced the Xfinity Series will move exclusively to [[The CW]] in 2025 as part of a seven-year deal. It was then announced on April 11, 2024, that the move would begin a year early to broadcast the final eight races of the 2024 season.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Stern |first=Adam |date=July 28, 2023 |title=CW lands rights to NASCAR Xfinity Series |work=[[Sports Business Journal]] |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Morning-Buzz/2023/07/28/cw-signs-tv-rights-deal-with-nascar-xfinity-series.aspx}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-04-11 |title=NASCAR's new Xfinity TV deal with CW Network to get an early start |url=https://us.motorsport.com/nascar-xs/news/nascar-new-xfinity-tv-deal-with-cw-network-to-get-an-early-start-/10597631/ |access-date=2024-04-11 |website=us.motorsport.com |language=en}}</ref>

===Latin America===
The NXS is available in most Latin American countries on cable and satellite TV. Since 2006, [[Fox Sports (Latin American TV network)|Fox Sports 3]] (formerly called [[Speed (TV network)|SPEED]] until 2013) carries live coverage of all events. The races are also shown on [[Fox Sports (Latin American TV network)|Fox Sports Latin America]], some of them live and some tape-delayed depending on the network's schedule. [[Televisa Deportes]] also broadcast a 30-minute recap every Sunday morning on national television in [[Mexico]]. In [[Brazil]], [[BandSports]] carries all three series.

===Australia===
[[Network Ten]]'s additional high-definition service, [[10 Bold|ONE]], began broadcasting races from the NXS live or near live during the 2008 season. ONE continued to air highlights packages of each race until the end of 2014. Broadcasts of the series are now exclusively shown on the [[Fox Sports (Australia)|Fox Sports]] pay TV channels.
