Nascar fans can now track live race updates right from their iPhones — Apple’s Sports app has just added full support for the series, starting with the highly anticipated Daytona 500.
Apple has rolled out version 2.5 of its Sports app, adding Nascar support just days before the Daytona 500 on February 16. This means users can follow live race coverage, real-time leaderboard updates, and key stats for one of the biggest motorsports events of the year.
Launched in February 2024, Apple Sports has become a go-to hub for real-time sports updates, offering fans a free and streamlined experience on iPhones. The update on Monday expands the app’s lineup, which already covers major leagues like the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and the Premier League.
Apple has steadily expanded Apple Sports since its launch, recently adding TV broadcast info and more soccer coverage in January.
More leagues, more action
Along with Nascar, the update brings coverage for Major League Baseball’s spring training. Fans can now keep up with their favorite teams as they gear up for the new season.
With Apple’s continued push into sports, this latest addition shows the company’s growing focus on delivering in-depth, real-time sports coverage. Nascar’s inclusion could also pave the way for more motorsports leagues in the future.
Apple Sports is a free app available in the App Store, making it easy for fans to get live scores, stats, standings, and schedules for their favorite sports. With Nascar now in the mix, racing fans have an easy way to stay on top of every lap, crash, and leaderboard shakeup.
