Dale Earnhardt Jr. Returns to the Broadcast Booth: TNT and Amazon Prime Announce New NASCAR Coverage for 2025

Dale Earnhardt Jr. has announced his return to the broadcast booth, joining TNT Sports and Amazon Prime’s NASCAR coverage for the 2025 season. The news was confirmed on Tuesday, with Earnhardt expressing his excitement about the move and reminiscing about TNT’s coverage of NASCAR in his past.

In recent years, Earnhardt worked as a color commentator for NBC’s NASCAR coverage from 2018 to 2023. His departure was announced in February, with NBC recognizing his contributions to the network and wishing him well. NASCAR signed a new media rights deal in November, with TNT and Amazon Prime joining Fox Sports and NBC Sports in a comprehensive seven-year package worth $7.7 billion from 2025 to 2031.

With this new deal, Amazon Prime will exclusively stream NASCAR events for the first time, while Fox and NBC will continue to broadcast 14 races each season. TNT, which last had broadcast rights in 2014, will air five events, though specific race assignments have not been announced yet.

Earnhardt, who retired from full-time competition in 2017, has continued to race occasionally in the Xfinity circuit and will provide analysis, commentary, and digital content for TNT and Amazon Prime in collaboration with Bleacher Report and Dirty Mo Media. This marks an exciting new chapter in his post-racing career as he continues to be an influential figure in the world of NASCAR.
