The pair will be featured in a new NBC Sports national promotional campaign, set to launch during NBC Sports’ coverage of the 105^th Running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 30 on NBC.

Following a 37-year hiatus, NASCAR’s Cup Series will make its return to Nashville the weekend of June 19-20 – also marking the opening weekend of NBC Sports’ coverage of the 2021 NASCAR season – when the Xfinity and Cup Series compete at Nashville Superspeedway on NBCSN.

Paisley and Earnhardt Jr. will host the pre-race coverage live from the Peacock Pit Box on pit road at Nashville Superspeedway.

Brad says, “I’m so excited that NASCAR is returning to Nashville – after 37 long years! I get to kick off the 2021 NASCAR season by hosting the NBC Sports’ pre-race coverage with my buddy Dale Jr. – how cool is that going to be?”

“I’m thrilled to work with my friend Brad Paisley to welcome NASCAR back to one of my favorite cities,” said Earnhardt Jr. “I can’t wait to get on the Peacock Pit Box with Brad, celebrate the passionate racing fans in and around Nashville, and kick off NBC Sports’ portion of the NASCAR season in style.”
