NASCAR announced the tournament on Monday. It
will slot 32 drivers in a single-elimination bracket format, and
over the course of five races, drivers will advance in the
bracket based on their head-to-head finish against their rival
driver.
Results of the three races preceding the tournament will
determine the drivers who qualify and how they're seeded. Those
three races will air on Amazon Prime Video, while TNT will have
all five races in the tournament itself.
The races and tracks to be utilized for the tournament were not
yet announced.
"With the launch of our new media rights partnerships in 2025,
we were excited to partner with Prime Video and TNT Sports to
collaborate on fan engagement concepts that drive story lines in
our sport and innovation from a production perspective," NASCAR
senior vice president of media and productions Brian Herbst said
in a press release.
"Having head-to-head driver matchups for each one of TNT's
NASCAR Cup Series races will add a compelling fan engagement
element across media platforms like TNT, Bleacher Report, House
of Highlights and NASCAR digital platforms."
