For fans who prefer a TV broadcast, USA Network for the Cup Series and The CW for the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series are the go-to channels. However, for fans who like a closer look at the action, HBO Max Driver Cam gives them that opportunity.

HBO provides an up-close look at NASCAR Cup Series action with on-board cameras for every Cup driver in the field, with an HBO Max subscription of standard or higher. The service also provides driver/team radio audio to further enhance the experience.

Denny Hamlin enters Sunday's Enjoy Illinois 300 as the defending winner. The driver of the No. 11 started on the pole and paced the field for a race-high 75 of 240 laps en route to his 59th career Cup victory. It marked Hamlin's fourth of five wins in 2025.

The win, under the previous playoff format, earned the Joe Gibbs Racing driver a spot in the Round of 12. The 45-year-old proceeded to advance to the Championship 4 race and was within three laps of claiming his first Cup Series title.

Yet, a caution followed by a deferring pit strategy shuffled Hamlin back, allowing Kyle Larson to win the title.

This Sunday, Hamlin is seeking his 65th career Cup victory and his fifth of the 2026 season. The Virginia native leads the Chase standings with a 12-point advantage over Christopher Bell, who moved into second after his win in the Cook Out Southern 500.
