Chase Elliott has shared enthusiastic support for the new Prime Video broadcast partnership as they gear up for the Coca-Cola 600 Cup Series at Charlotte Motor Speedway, highlighting the professionalism of Amazon Prime’s NASCAR broadcast team. As the debut race of Prime’s expanded coverage, Elliott’s endorsement signals high expectations for fans eager to witness NASCAR’s collaboration with a top-tier broadcaster.
Elliott Commends Amazon Prime’s Broadcast Team
During a recent discussion with Frontstretch, Chase Elliott commented on his positive experiences working alongside the Amazon Prime NASCAR crew, emphasizing their deep background in major sports broadcasting. He noted that the group, which brings experience from covering leagues like the NFL, NBA, and MLB, has quickly adapted to the demands of the racing world and earned his respect for their work ethic on site for this historic event.
Elliott described the professionalism that the team has shown, aligning with what fans expect from a modern, high-profile broadcast. He specifically praised the direction in which Amazon has invested to ensure quality coverage for viewers.
“Yeah, it’s been really, really good, honestly. They’ve been a pleasure to work with so far, very professional, and you know obviously very established in the sports world as of late and and they’ve just done a good job investing in the right things in my opinion.”

The broadcast team includes Adam Alexander handling play-by-play duties, while NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. teams up in the booth with crew chief Steve Letarte—both familiar voices for fans from their previous NBC stints. The analyst lineup features Danielle Trotta, past Cup Series winner Carl Edwards, and part-time competitor Corey LaJoie, all lending additional insight and expertise to the coverage.
Elliott highlighted the importance of having the right talent, noting that viewers connect best when broadcasts are handled by individuals who know racing inside out and can share those stories with genuine excitement and accuracy. He expressed full approval of the group assembled for Amazon Prime’s coverage.
“I think the talent that they have slated to come in this weekend is well done. I think how these stories are told some weeks can make something exciting or not, and I think people engage with the right people better than the wrong people… Everything I’ve been a part of so far has been first-class.”

The partnership between NASCAR and Amazon Prime is set for a run of notable events, culminating with The Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway on June 22.
Looking Ahead to Coca-Cola 600 and Special Tributes
In addition to his praise for the Prime Video broadcast, Elliott is preparing for the Coca-Cola 600 with a unique tribute. He will race in the famed #9 car featuring a special paint design dedicated to TEC5 Clifford Strickland, a World War II prisoner of war. This meaningful homage adds to the anticipation for the event, both on and off the track.
Elliott recently shared the new look on his Instagram story, building excitement and counting down to one of NASCAR’s marquee races. Coming off a seventh place finish last season, he aims to reclaim the winner’s trophy at Charlotte—a feat he last accomplished in 2020, the year he earned the NASCAR Cup Series champion title.
Prime Video’s Entry Poised to Make an Impact
The arrival of Amazon Prime as a broadcast partner represents a significant evolution for NASCAR, with trusted voices such as Dale Earnhardt Jr., Steve Letarte, and Adam Alexander anchoring coverage. Analysts Danielle Trotta, Carl Edwards, and Corey LaJoie add further depth, ensuring that fans, from newcomers to veterans, receive engaging and insightful coverage. With the Coca-Cola 600 marking their first major test, expectations are high for a memorable broadcast and a new chapter in NASCAR viewing.
