NASCAR on NBC, identified by its on-air logo as NBC NASCAR, was a series of NASCAR races that aired on the network from 1999-2006. Prior to the contract that gave NBC broadcast rights the network aired races as early as the 1964 World 600. The network also aired the Fall Charlotte race from 1979 to 1981, the Winston 500 from 1983 to 1985 and the Pennzoil 400 in both 1999 and 2000.
NBC's cable partner in NASCAR was TNT, which retained its television rights as part of the new NASCAR contract for 2007 and beyond.

Famous quotes containing the word nbc:
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
