An opportunity to interact first-hand with NASCAR on NBC’s broadcast team, the “NBC Sports NASCAR America” fantasy league results will also be featured weekly on NASCAR America. NBCSN’s daily motorsports show will include recurring segments each Monday and Thursday, breaking down each broadcaster’s picks for the weekend, analyzing results, top scorers and league standings. Fans who win the 10-week league will be announced live on NASCAR America, prior to NBC Sports Group’s return for its fourth season of NASCAR racing on Sunday, July 1, at Chicagoland Speedway.

With only 4,000 possible league participants, fans are encouraged to sign up this week and share their lineups with @NASCARonNBC, using #NASCARAmericaFantasy.
