- Rising Season 2 will stream exclusively on Xumo Play, the FAST service operated by the Comcast-Charter joint venture Xumo, beginning in August with monthly episode drops
- The distribution deal gives Xumo Play a six-month exclusive window after the final episode's release, while NASCAR's YouTube channel will carry episodes 14 days after their original Xumo Play air date
- Season 1 of the five-episode docuseries drew 11 million views across YouTube and Fox Sports networks, per the announcement
- Featured drivers in Season 2 include Carson Hocevar, Connor Zilisch, and Brenden "Butterbean" Queen
- The new agreement builds on a 2025 deal between NASCAR and Xumo that launched NASCAR's FAST channel on Xumo Play
- Full Speed Entertainment — the production partnership between NASCAR Studios and Words + Pictures — produces the series, with Tim Clark, John Dahl, Connor Schell, Libby Geist, Aaron Cohen, and Tally Hair as executive producers and Matthew Chase as director and producer
Why it matters: The deal gives Xumo Play a six-month exclusive window on Rising Season 2, with NASCAR's YouTube channel picking up episodes just 14 days after their Xumo Play debut — a staggered release that keeps YouTube's 11-million-view Season 1 audience within reach while cementing Xumo as NASCAR's primary streaming partner.
