The NASCAR HotPass is a subscription package available only on DIRECTV. You can’t get this extensive coverage of NASCAR anywhere else. DIRECTV focuses on select drivers, honing in on their stories and performances while still providing a broad overview of the races. Other networks tend to just give a larger picture of the events, but DIRECTV gives an unbelievably close view of the sport, through winding, screeching turns and incredible speeds of over 200 mph.
Every week, 28 dedicated cameras follow four top drivers in every race, each with his own channel and team of announcers. Plus, there are two overhead corner cameras providing you with feedback about the drivers’ turns 1 and 3. In addition, a pit box overhead camera and a pit crew shoulder camera give you unique behind-the-scenes access.
Did you see Kevin Harvick’s magnificent NASCAR victory in 2007? On February 17, 2008, the 50th running of the Daytona 500 will be upon us. The difference is that this year the NASCAR HotPass will be broadcast in HD. Subscribers who have HD Access ($9.99/month) and HD equipment will see every one of the 36 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races in stunning, razor-sharp clarity. DIRECTV’s committment to HD programming and to sports programming has made this possible. NASCAR is such a popular sport that it deserves the unprecedented image quality that HD offers - life-like with crisp imagery and the most fluid motion.
The NASCAR HotPass experience is not like being 50 rows up at the race itself. It’s like having a front-row seat! The interactive features redefine television technology and make for an unforgettable experience. If the NASCAR races have always been on your list of must-see events, DIRECTV’s NASCAR HotPass is essential. An add-on sports, package, it is well worth the subscription. Get ready for the ride of your life!
