Racing America Announces Broadcast Plan for 2026 Trans Am Series Season
Racing America has revealed more details regarding the broadcast and production of the 2026 season of the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli.
Beginning with the Racing America season opener at Sebring International Raceway on March 1, Trans Am Series events will feature live broadcast productions, free for viewers on RacingAmerica.tv, the Racing America 24/7 Streaming Channel (available on The Roku Channel, My Free DirecTV, LG Channels and PLEX), as well as on the official Trans Am Series YouTube channel. Broadcasts will air on REV TV in Canada.
Allen Bestwick will serve as the lead commentator for Trans Am broadcasts in 2026. Bestwick has covered many prestigious sporting events, such as the Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500, US Open, Wimbledon and the British Open, and is best known in racing circles for his work on networks such as NBC, TNT and ESPN.
