How USA Network produces the most crucial races of the NASCAR Chase

USA Network provides an inside look at how its production crew broadcasts the NASCAR Cup Series postseason Chase races. Operating out of a production trailer at Charlotte Motor Speedway during the Bank of America 400, coordinating director Sean Owens and supervising producer Rene Hatlelid manage live coverage and high-stress moments, such as a major multi-car incident involving Bubba Wallace, Alex Bowman, and William Byron.

The broadcast team features play-by-play announcer Leigh Diffey alongside analysts Jeff Burton and Steve Letarte in the booth, with Marty Snider, Dale Jarrett, and Brad Daugherty reporting from pit road. Despite operating under new parent company Versant, the veteran production crew continues to utilize innovative methods, including a pit box studio set and pace car analyst Trevor Bayne, to cover critical championship events.
