'Do something different, do something fun, but we're kind of boxed in with some of the TV contracts and the track ownership portion of our sport,' Kurt Busch says.
. Those raceways include Daytona International Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway.in recent years. The company has television contracts with NBC and Fox that run through 2024.
"With ISC and SMI being public traded, they had our tracks, so that's [about] getting into negotiations on getting away from that strategy and getting into new markets," said Busch, who was the overall series champion in 2004 when it was known as the Nextel Cup Series. He has 31 wins in NASCAR's premier division, including the Daytona 500 and Coca-Cola 600.
"We have to jump into that category because it's available for us and it creates more energy ... for people to watch the race and to get invested into more of a feel with their friends," he said. "So it's another category that's now opened up and I think it's positive in all aspects.". There are a dozen more NASCAR-sanctioned races scheduled for this season.Disclosure: Comcast owns NBCUniversal, the parent of NBC and CNBC.
