Daytona 500 live stream: How to watch the 2022 race for free without cable
The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season is about to begin.
The first time cars hit the track in 2022 was at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in the Busch Light Clash during an exhibition race. But on Sunday, the engines will be fired on the new campaign at Daytona International Speedway in the Dayton 500.
Michael McDowell started the 2021 season with a victory at the Daytona 500 last year, while Denny Hamlin picked up victories in 2019 and 2020 for his second and third wins at the track.
For those hoping to watch the inaugural race, there are plenty of options beyond traditional cable options. Sporting News breaks down the best ways to watch the race via streaming services.
