NASCAR returned to the track in May after suspending its season in March as the coronavirus spread. Kevin Harvick has won two of the past three weeks and will look to keep his hot streak going in Kentucky for the Quaker State 400. He has an 85-point lead over Chase Elliott in the Cup Series standings with seven weeks remaining before NASCAR’s playoffs begin.
Here’s what you need to know to watch the racin’ and rubbin’ today.

If you don’t have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch the race with one of the live TV services below. Aside from the next two races on FS1, the rest of the NASCAR season will be shown on NBC and NBCSN. The good news for race fans is that all three channels are available on each streaming service. The catch is that not every service carries every local network, so check each one using the links below to make sure it carries NBC in your area.
If you live in an area with good reception, you can watch for free on over-the-air broadcast channels just by attaching an affordable (under $30) indoor antenna to nearly any TV.
