What is NASCAR HotPass?
NASCAR HotPass is an exclusive sports package available only on DIRECTV, beginning with the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series. NASCAR HotPass uses five channels to focus on five of NASCAR’s top drivers each week of the NEXTEL Cup Series. 25 dedicated cameras will cover only these five drivers for that race. Cameras will include an in-car camera, two overhead corner cameras in turns 1 and 3, a pit box overhead camera and a pit crew shoulder camera giving you unique access to the drivers during the race. Real time data tracks the speed, RPMs and other stats. HotPass will also change the way you listen to NASCAR: each HotPass channel has two NASCAR announcers describing the action of that particular driver, and you’ll also hear communications between the driver, his spotter and team. Each week, HotPass subscribers will have access to an exclusive audio and visual NASCAR experience, only on DIRECTV.
