Over a month will pass before there are any more races on NBC…

NASCAR is set to set to take a three-week break from action due to the Summer Olympics, and the first two races back are set to be shown on USA Network.

Following Sunday afternoon’s Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the NASCAR Cup Series is set for a three-week break due to NBC’s commitment to covering the Summer Olympics in Paris, France.

The next race on the calendar is scheduled to take place at Richmond Raceway on Sunday, August 11, making the four-turn, 0.75-mile (1.207-kilometer) Richmond, Virginia oval the first track to host its second race of the year.

The season’s first 22 races were all contested at different venues, including Richmond back in late March on Easter Sunday.

In fact, the first two races on the schedule after the three-week break are set to be shown live on USA Network, which is the alternate NBCUniversal-owned channel during NBC’s portion of the broadcast schedule that effectively took over from NBC Sports Network when NBC Sports Network shut down after 2021.
