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.

USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car teams will visit southern Indiana for a two-track weekend on May 1 and May 2. The 19th Larry Rice Classic is scheduled for Bloomington Speedway on Friday, May 1, and the 13th Spring Showdown will follow at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt on Saturday, May 2. General admission is $30 per night, and both events will be streamed live on FloRacing.
Kyle Cummins leads the USAC national standings and arrives as the defending dual-winner at Bloomington Speedway and Tri-State from 2025. He added a USAC victory at Terre Haute earlier this month and also won a dominant unsanctioned feature at Kokomo. Cummins has a run of seven straight USAC top-five finishes heading into the May weekend.
Primary challengers include C.J. Leary, driving the Fox Brothers/Brayden Fox Racing No. 53, the 2023 Larry Rice Classic winner who holds Bloomington’s one-lap record at 10.685 seconds, and Kevin Thomas Jr., who has 13 career USAC feature wins between Bloomington and Tri-State and who won the Spring Showdown in 2013, 2018 and 2024 and the Larry Rice Classic in 2021. Thomas has not recorded a USAC feature win in 2026 as of this preview. Four past Larry Rice Classic winners, Thomas Jr., Leary, Logan Seavey and Cummins, are entered for Friday’s program. Team Arizona/Curb-Agajanian will debut a part-time No. 21AZ entry at Bloomington driven by Gavin Miller and Jacob Denney, with Miller set to make his first USAC National Sprint Car start after strong Kokomo performances. Mitchel Moles has been a frequent fast qualifier at both Bloomington and Tri-State in recent seasons.
Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, will host the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship Avanti Windows & Doors Corn Belt Clash on May 29–30, timed to coincide with the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame induction weekend.
The two-night short-format national sprint car event will race on Knoxville’s half-mile oval. The Friday program features a 25-lap main paying $10,000 to the winner; the Saturday finale is a 30-lap feature paying $15,000 to the winner. Pits open at 3 p.m. CT each day and hot laps are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT each night. The weekend will stream live on FloRacing and advance tickets are available at KnoxvilleRaceway.com.
Series leader and defending USAC Sprint Car National Champion Kyle Cummins tops the standings with 1,058 points after wins at Terre Haute in April and at Eldora in May. Mitchel Moles (970 points) and Justin Grant (969 points) are entered; Grant is a past Knoxville winner and is chasing career USAC wins No. 98 and No. 99.
The entry list also includes past Knoxville USAC winners Brady Bacon (a five-time Knoxville winner), Jake Swanson and Kevin Thomas Jr. Organizers say seven top-10 drivers remain in search of their first Knoxville triumph, including Cummins, Moles, Logan Seavey, Briggs Danner, Chase Stockon, C.J. Leary and Robert Ballou.
Team AZ/Curb-Agajanian will field Gavin Miller in the No. 21AZ as the team aims to deliver a third different Knoxville winner. Coastal challengers entered for the weekend include R.J. Johnson, Ryan Bernal, Charles Davis Jr. and Steven Snyder Jr. The Corn Belt Clash ties a marquee USAC event to Hall of Fame festivities at a facility often called the “Sprint Car Capital of the World.” Past Hall of Famers who previously won USAC races at Knoxville include Gary Bettenhausen, Dick Tobias, Sammy Sessions, Tom Bigelow, Sheldon Kinser and Sammy Swindell.
Briggs Danner, an Allentown, Pa., native, won the Justin Owen Memorial presented by Tempstar at Lawrenceburg Speedway, taking the 30-lap feature for the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car Series on the three-eighths-mile Lawrenceburg oval. Danner started fifth, seized the lead just before the midway point and rode the rim to the checkered flag, leading laps 13 through 30 and earning the Clean Air award. He held off multiple late restarts, including repeated challenges from Kyle Cummins, to secure the victory.
The win was Danner’s first in the USAC AMSOIL series this season and his second at Lawrenceburg; it was the eighth national sprint car victory of his career, tying him with Mike Bliss, Chet Fillip, Johnny Rutherford, Joe Saldana and Jake Swanson for 62nd on the series’ all-time wins list. Kyle Cummins led the opening 12 laps and finished second, retaining the national points lead at 527 points after the race. Justin Grant finished third.
Danner posted the second-fastest qualifying lap at 14.223 seconds, while C.J. Leary was the LearnLab fast qualifier at 14.210. The Lawrenceburg program also featured a flipped semifinal by Kyle Shipley and Hard Charger honors for David Gasper, who advanced from 23rd to 14th.
Eldora Speedway will host the 10th #LetsRaceTwo Presented by LGMG doubleheader on May 15–16, pairing the USAC National Sprint Cars and the World of Outlaws at the half-mile dirt oval in Rossburg, Ohio. Promoters bill the rare consecutive-night format as a unique draw, with each show paying $12,000 to the winner. USAC action will stream on FloRacing and World of Outlaws coverage will be available on DirtVision.
Several drivers plan cross-series double duty. Defending USAC #LetsRaceTwo winner Brady Bacon will drive the Chris Dyson No. 20 in USAC and the TKH Motorsports No. 21 for WoO. Logan Seavey will run the Abacus Racing No. 57 and the CB Industries–Spire Motorsports No. 87. Karter Sarff will make his WoO start in the Chase Briscoe No. 5B. Steven Snyder Jr. and Jakeb Boxell will make USAC debuts in the CB Industries–Spire No. 87 and the No. 54, owned by Matt Westfall, respectively. C.J. Leary brings a streak of 326 consecutive USAC feature starts in the Fox Brothers Racing No. 53, two starts shy of Justin Grant’s record of 328. Reinbold-Underwood Motorsports arrives off consecutive USAC wins and plans to enter two cars.
Kyle Cummins leads the USAC standings with 760 points and is seeking Eldora redemption after a 0.016-second loss in night one of #LetsRaceTwo 2024. On the WoO side, David Gravel leads the tour by 88 points; expected entries include Donny Schatz, Sheldon Haudenschild, Rico Abreu, Tyler Courtney and Carson Macedo. Eldora has hosted World of Outlaws racing since April 16, 1978, and across 47 seasons the series has raced there 242 times, missing only 2020. The Speedway is one of three tracks with more than 200 WoO nights and currently trails Williams Grove by a single appearance. A total of 51 drivers have won WoO races at Eldora, and six drivers have reached double-digit WoO wins there: Steve Kinser (41), Sammy Swindell (30), Donny Schatz (18), Doug Wolfgang (15), Joey Saldana (13) and Dave Blaney (10). Donny Schatz holds the most WoO wins during #LetsRaceTwo weekends with six. The World of Outlaws will return to Eldora on July 17–18 for the 43rd Kings Royal, which carries a $200,000 winner’s purse.
