With a rich history spanning 76 years, NASCAR hosts races that consistently attract large audiences, averaging over 100,000 attendees per event. Impressively, 17 of the top 20 most-watched sports events in America are NASCAR races, highlighting its status as the second most popular professional sport in the nation after NFL.

Starting in 2025, NASCAR Cup Series races will be broadcast live in Japan on streaming service ABEMA, where TakuMa Koga will serve as a main race commentator, enhancing visibility for Japanese fans.

Koga has already made an impact during the current season, achieving outstanding results, including two wins at the DAYTONA event.
