NASCAR Partners with Recast to Expand Global Reach and Drive Fan Engagement

NASCAR and Recast launch its new partnership to increase viewership options and drive fan engagement in select international markets

EDINBURGH, Scotland, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NASCAR, America's premier motorsport organization, has partnered with Recast, the premium fintech-for-media company to enhance access for motorsports fans worldwide.

With three National Series in the United States – the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series – as well as International Series in Mexico (NASCAR Mexico Series), Canada (NASCAR Pinty's Series), Europe (NASCAR Whelen Euro Series), and Brasil (NASCAR Brasil Sprint Race) NASCAR boasts a global footprint, with Cup Series broadcasts available in more than 190 countries and 26 languages. While NASCAR enjoys long-standing broadcast partnerships across the globe, its international fanbase is expanding, creating a growing demand for flexible, direct access to race day content across the globe. At launch, content will focus primarily on the NASCAR Xfinity Series and CRAFTSMAN Truck Series races.

"Our collaboration with Recast is a game-changer in how we connect with our global fanbase. NASCAR has an incredibly passionate international audience, and this partnership allows us to meet them where they are, on a flexible basis particularly for those who don't have access to NASCAR racing via an in-market broadcast," said Nick Skipper, Managing Director, Media Strategy at NASCAR. "By leveraging Recast's innovative technology, we can expand our reach into underserved markets while gaining valuable insights into fan engagement. This is an exciting next chapter for how NASCAR content is distributed and consumed worldwide."

By integrating RecastPay into their site, NASCAR can now offer international consumers seamless, flexible, pay-as-you-go access to NASCAR racing in key global markets, ensuring that fans worldwide can experience the action on their terms—without the need for a subscription.

"This partnership with NASCAR represents a major step forward in the evolution of sports content distribution," said Andy Meikle, Founder & CEO of Recast. "Fans are demanding greater flexibility, and the traditional one-size-fits-all subscription model is no longer the only option. By combining NASCAR's thrilling racing with Recast's cutting-edge payment technology, we will unlock new audiences via our unique affiliate engine, deliver new revenue streams, and provide NASCAR with powerful data-driven insights to fuel future growth. NASCAR is leading the way in embracing the future of sports media, and we're proud to be partnering with them in leading this transformation."
