After investing in its Charlotte production capabilities last October, NBC Sports Group will move daily broadcasts of “NASCAR America” for the 2019 season out of its Stamford, Conn., headquarters.
The move to Charlotte will put the broadcast closer to race teams, potential guests and talent, who mostly reside in North Carolina, which is the epicenter of stock car auto racing in America.
The show, which is entering its sixth season on NBCSN, will also adopt themed episodes along with opportunities for fan participation through call-in segments.

- “NASCAR America Presents The Dale Jr. Download” – Every Tuesday, NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver for an unprecedented 15 consecutive years (2003-17) and winner of two Daytona 500s, Dale Earnhardt Jr. (@Dalejr) co-hosts NASCAR America with Mike Davis. Produced on-site at Dirty Mo Media Studios in Mooresville, N.C., episodes on Tuesday will expand to one hour, and feature the same unparalleled perspective, candid commentary, and first-person insight of The Dale Jr. Download that fans have come to love.
