Ahead of the season opener, Leigh Diffey, Townsend Bell and Paul Tracy previewed 2021 season storylines. Below are highlights:

Diffey on the 2021 season: “INDYCAR is in a great place right now. It’s as competitive as ever and is flourishing under the stewardship of Roger Penske. This is going to be a landmark season for INDYCAR.”

Tracy: “These are exciting times for INDYCAR. Coming out of the pandemic and with spectators returning, this is a great opportunity for the sport to show what it is all about and reach new eyeballs. You’ve got NASCAR fans who want to watch Jimmie Johnson and Formula One fans who want to watch Romain Grosjean. No one will have a massive advantage this season. It’s going to be a dog fight. For the first half of the season, the top 10 drivers will be in the race for the championship.”

Bell: “The overarching theme for this season is the incredible depth. The competition this year is tougher for sure than last year, and last year was already incredibly high, so we’re blessed with an insane amount of depth in the series.”

Diffey on current 450SX standings leader Cooper Webb: “If you take the run of form that Cooper Webb has shown, he is not going to stop doing what he is doing…his low rate of unforced errors is incredible…he is very methodical and measured.”

NBC Sports’ Supercross analyst Ricky Carmichael will join tonight’s edition of NASCAR America Motormouths at 6 p.m. ET on Peacock to preview the race and remainder of the 2021 season.

NBC’s Supercross Coverage on Jan. 31 from Indianapolis Ranked as NBC Sports’ Most-Watched Supercross Telecast on Record

Peacock Premium is New Streaming Home of Supercross

STAMFORD, Conn. – Feb. 11, 2021 – The 2021 Monster Energy Supercross season continues this Saturday from Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., in the first open stadium racing of the season live at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN, NBC Sports digital platforms and Peacock Premium. Saturday begins a Florida swing tripleheader with Round 8 also taking place in Orlando on Saturday, Feb. 20, at 7 p.m. ET and Round 9 from Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, March 6, at 7 p.m. ET.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better start to a new Supercross season. Four different winners in the first six races including a hat trick of wins by Ken Roczen – it’s been incredibly entertaining and exciting!” said Supercross and INDYCAR play-by-play voice Leigh Diffey. “The Florida swing sees a switch to outdoor venues and maybe a switch of fortune for some riders who need it.”

Peacock Premium, the new streaming home of Supercross, provides live and commercial-free coverage of qualifiers and races as well as on-demand replays.
