Did you know that motorsports fans consumed over 3.4 billion minutes of racing content on streaming platforms last year alone? It’s a huge number, but if you are a fan of USAC’s unique brand of non-wing sprint cars, midgets, or Silver Crown beasts, you know the struggle of finding exactly where to tune in.
In this guide, NXTbetsis going to clarify how to watch USAC racing in 2026. Whether you are a first-time viewer needing a quick link or a veteran looking for the lowest latency feed for betting, we’ve got you covered.
Different streaming platforms offer unique services – some are free while others are paid subscriptions. Here are the options you’ve got:
FloRacing
FloRacing is the official streaming partner for USAC, meaning this is where you will find every lap of the National Sprint, Midget, and Silver Crown seasons live.
Here is what a subscription actually gets you:
Live broadcasts: Full coverage from hot laps and qualifying all the way through the B-Mains and the Feature
Replays & archives: Immediate access to full event replays and a library of past races
Event hubs: Centralized pages for each race week that include schedules, results, and news
Supported devices have increased significantly for 2026. You can watch on the web, mobile apps (iOS/Android), and Connected TV devices like Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast, and Apple TV. A significant upgrade for this year is the addition of native apps for Samsung, Vizio, and LG Smart TVs, making it easier than ever to get the action on the big screen without casting.
YouTube & Social
While you generally have to pay to see the live features, YouTube is a fantastic resource for free content. The official USAC and FloRacing channels frequently post teasers, condensed highlights, and interviews.
New for the 2025/2026 cycle is the ‘FreeRacing on FloRacing’ campaign. This initiative streams select top-tier events entirely for free on YouTube to help introduce new fans to the sport. While you shouldn’t expect the Chili Bowl A-Main to be free, keep an eye out for these special promotional broadcasts throughout the season.
Free Live Audio
USAC provides free, live audio broadcasting for many of its events. It’s perfect for the drive-time fan or as a low-data option when your Wi-Fi is spotty. You can listen directly via the USAC Racing website or the Mixlr app. The platform also features a chat function, allowing you to interact with other listeners if you want to geek out over split times.
Where to Watch by Region
Before you settle in for the night, it’s always smart to verify the specific listings for the next round on USAC’s official site or the FloRacing event hub – local TV deals can occasionally shift things.
United States
For American fans, FloRacing handles full live and video-on-demand (VOD) coverage. TV simulcasts on traditional cable are rare for regular-season events, so don’t count on finding the race on a standard sports channel. Your best free complements are the YouTube highlights for the next morning and Mixlr for live audio if you aren’t subscribed.
Canada
FloRacing is available directly in Canada, offering the same live events and archives as the US version. You can catch highlights on YouTube and grab the free audio via Mixlr just like your neighbors to the south.
UK & Ireland
Viewers in the UK and Ireland can subscribe to FloRacing to watch live. Given the time difference, you will likely rely heavily on the Video on Demand (VOD) replays the next morning. It’s a great way to start your Sunday without staying up till late.
Mainland Europe
FloRacing is also accessible throughout most of Mainland Europe. The main hurdle here is device compatibility; while the web player works universally, the availability of specific smart TV apps (like Roku or Vizio) might vary by territory. Check your local app store to see what’s native to your device.
Australia & New Zealand
With so many Aussie and Kiwi drivers crossing over to race in the States, the interest here is enormous. FloRacing holds the rights here as well. Like European fans, you will probably be watching morning-after replays due to time zones, but the platform is designed for precisely that.
Asia & Middle East
FloRacing is generally available globally, including in Asia and the Middle East. If you cannot find the FloSports app in your local TV’s app store, the web player on a laptop connected via HDMI is your most reliable backup.
Live vs Replays vs Highlights
The good news is you can watch USAC Racing live, replays, or highlights whenever you want.
Live Window
A standard USAC race night on FloRacing involves Hot Laps and Qualifying leading into Heat Races, followed by the B-Mains (semi-features), and ending with the Feature event. During weeks like Indiana Sprint Week, you might get multi-camera options, but for standard nights, expect a solid broadcast feed.
Full Replays & Condensed Cuts
Full replays are posted inside the specific Event Hub on FloRacing shortly after the checkered flag drops. For a quicker fix, YouTube is the place for condensed highlights and select segments, usually uploaded the following day.
Free Audio & Stick-to-Live Tips
If you are commuting and can’t watch, fire up Mixlr.
Pro Tip: If you are waiting to watch the replay, mute your social media notifications! USAC’s social teams are fast with updates, and there is nothing worse than having a photo finish spoiled by a push notification before you load the video.
Devices & TV Setup
Worried about which device to use? You’ve got lots of options:
Mobile & Tablet
The FloSports app is available on both iOS and Android. It allows you to enable notifications for when your favorite series goes live. This is essential for keeping track of rain delays or schedule changes.
Casting & AirPlay
If you don’t have a smart TV app, casting is also an option. You can use Chromecast or AirPlay directly from the mobile app to your TV.
If it’s not working, ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network (2.4GHz vs 5GHz matters!). Force-quitting and relaunching the app often clears connection hang-ups.
Smart TVs & Streaming Sticks
Native apps are available for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and now Samsung, Vizio, and LG televisions. This covers the majority of modern setups.
Desktop/Laptop
The web player on FloRacing.com is the universal fallback. If your smart TV is acting up, an HDMI cable from your laptop to your TV is the best way to ensure a high-quality stream without buffering.
Pricing, Plans & Free Options
To access a world-class USAC racing experience, you need to select the right plan based on your viewing habits. The following breakdown gives a guide on the costs and flexibility:
FloRacing Subscription
Let’s talk numbers. As of 2026, the standard offer for an annual plan goes for approximately $12.99/month, billed as a lump sum upfront at about $150. Alternatively, a monthly-only option is available (around $39.99/month), which is significantly more expensive in the long run.
Multi-Stream/Household Viewing
Planning a watch party? FloSports allows you to watch up to 12 streams simultaneously on devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network or IP address. This is a game-changer for multi-screen setups where you want the race on the TV and onboard cameras on your tablet.
Free Options
If a subscription isn’t in the cards right now, you can still follow the action. USAC on YouTube provides high-quality highlights, and Mixlr offers live audio commentary at zero cost.
Troubleshooting & Stream Quality
If you’re having trouble with your stream, we have some tips for you.
Buffering/Resolution
Buffering is the enemy. Aim for a stable broadband connection. If you are on a PC and seeing stuttering, try disabling hardware acceleration in your browser settings – it’s a common fix for video glitches. On Roku, if you experience lag, try casting from your phone instead.
Delay vs Live
Streaming (OTT) always has a slight delay compared to real life. If you are live betting, this is critical info. Close background apps, use a wired Ethernet connection for your TV device if possible, and avoid looking at Twitter/X to avoid spoilers.
Access Errors
If you get an ‘Access Denied’ error, check your subscription status first. If that’s clear, try the web player. Ensure you aren’t logged in on too many devices at different locations. It can trigger ‘Couch Rights’ restrictions.

The Yokohama USAC Eastern Storm non-wing 410 sprint car tour will open at Grandview Speedway on Tuesday, June 16, as the six-night, week-long Eastern Storm presented by Levan Machine & Truck Equipment runs June 16–21. The announcement named Broken Arrow’s Brady Bacon as the headliner; Bacon leads all drivers with eight Eastern Storm feature wins, including four at Grandview. Defending Eastern Storm champion Justin Grant has seven series feature wins. Multiple past Eastern Storm winners listed include Chris Windom, Levi Jones, Bryan Clauson (six wins), Robert Ballou and Kevin Thomas Jr. The tour visits Bridgeport Speedway, Big Diamond Raceway, Williams Grove, Port Royal Speedway and closes at Action Track USA, under USAC sanction and backed by sponsors Yokohama and Levan Machine & Truck Equipment, and it was promoted for its concentrated schedule and substantial purse structure.
Alpine Building Supply will present the Levan Machine & Truck Equipment Thunder on the Hill Racing Series at Grandview on June 16, pairing the Yokohama Eastern Storm USAC Amsoil Non-Wing Sprint National Tour with a 358 Modified doubleheader. Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and Will Call at 4:30 p.m., with heat qualifying set for 7:30 p.m. The 40-lap Jesse Hockett Classic at the event pays $6,000 to the winner, and Bacon will chase that race while competing for the Eastern Storm season title. Expected USAC sprint entries include Kyle Cummins, defending champion Justin Grant and Logan Seavey.
Eastern Storm carries a $12,000 championship prize for the season title, with payouts of $6,000 for second, $3,000 for third, $2,000 for fourth and $1,000 for fifth. Each feature awards a $6,000 top prize. The 30-lap 358 Modified feature pays $3,000 to the winner, and Alpine Building Supply is offering a $2,000 Alpine bonus for any first-time Thunder on the Hill modified winner, creating a potential $5,000 payday. Keystone Racing’s No. 126 with Dominick Buffalino is pre-entered in the 358 Modified field, with other contenders named as Eddie Strada, Logan Watt and Tim Buckwalter. Advance tickets are available by phone, and Alpine will sell commemorative shirts at the event with proceeds to benefit the Big Impact Group of Schuylkill County.
Connor Lundy of Peoria, Arizona, won the Avanti Windows & Doors USAC CRA Sprint Car Series main event Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway, edging R.J. Johnson by 0.01 seconds for his second straight victory. Lundy drove the Matt Lundy-owned No. 97 Apache Transport / JUGO Superfoods Sherman and passed Johnson off the final corner to secure the 30-lap win.
Johnson was the fast qualifier, started sixth, led laps 16 through 29 and finished second. He also earned Hard Charger honors. Austin Williams led the opening 15 laps before finishing fourth, Brody Roa was third and Eddie Tafoya Jr. placed fifth.
The series was scheduled to return Sept. 5-6 at Calistoga Speedway for the 15th Louie Vermeil Classic.
Justin Grant will return to CB Industries’ No. 87 midget in his bid for the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship. He opens his second season with CB Industries at the Kokomo Grand Prix at Kokomo Speedway on April 24-25. The team announced its 2026 midget slate as a schedule confirmation and a step in Grant’s chase for the remaining USAC title.
Grant already holds two USAC Silver Crown championships, won in 2020 and 2025, and consecutive AMSOIL National Sprint Car titles in 2022 and 2023. In his 2025 USAC National Midget debut with CB Industries he recorded three wins, at Kokomo, Belleville and the Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and compiled 12 top-five and 17 top-ten finishes in 23 starts. He finished as the USAC National Midget runner-up in 2025, his third runner-up result in four seasons.
A native of Ione, California, Grant suffered a left-foot fracture in July 2025 but reported a clean bill of health as of mid-April and had already picked up two USAC National Sprint Car wins that month. He came close to winning the Chili Bowl Nationals before late trouble ended that bid. Grant and team owner Chad Boat said they aim to build on improved communication in their second year together, and Grant said he feels optimistic about working with Boat to push for race wins and mount a championship challenge.
C.J. Leary won Saturday night’s Iowa 100 at Iowa Speedway, giving the event its first USAC Silver Crown race since 2015. Leary started fifth, moved to second by lap 24 and took the lead when Chase Cabre’s car lost power on lap 47. Leary then led the final 54 laps to beat teammate Mario Clouser for a Team AZ Racing/Petty-Rossi/Curb-Agajanian 1-2 finish. It was Leary’s first career visit to Iowa Speedway and his seventh career USAC Silver Crown victory, tying Jerry Coons Jr., Rick Hood and George Snider for 18th on the all-time wins list.
The win also stretched Leary’s championship lead from 36 points to 45. Iowa Speedway’s return to Silver Crown racing came during a busy weekend at the track, which also featured NASCAR national series competition on the 7/8-mile oval in Newton, Iowa.
