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.”

Earlier this week, NBC Sports’ Supercross play-by-play voice Leigh Diffey joined NASCAR America Motormouths to preview Saturday’s race and discuss the close battle atop the 450SX Class standings. Below are highlights:

Diffey on Monster Energy Supercross’ debut stop at Atlanta Motor Speedway: “From the initial images of the track, it’s going to be a very big (track)…for the riders, it’s a bit of a shakeup as far as them not doing as many indoor stadiums as they used to because…there have been a lot of outdoor venues this year.”  

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.

STAMFORD, Conn. – March 4, 2021 – The 2021 Monster Energy Supercross season continues this Saturday in primetime from Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., live at 7 p.m. ET on NBCSN, NBC Sports digital platforms and Peacock Premium.

During Saturday’s telecast, as part of “Motorsports Junction,” defending champion Eli Tomac sits down with three-time Daytona 500 champion and NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee Dale Jarrett to discuss the motorsports history surrounding Daytona International Speedway, what tying Carmichael’s track record would mean to Tomac, and how this weekend’s race can make or break the remainder of his season.

Earlier today, Carmichael and NBC Sports’ Supercross play-by-play voice Leigh Diffey previewed Saturday’s race here. Below are highlights:

Carmichael on the Monster Energy Supercross stop at Daytona International Speedway: “You ask any of these riders the one race that they want to win and that’s Daytona Supercross because it is physically the hardest Supercross race of the year…a lot of prestige (and) heritage on the line.”

Carmichael on Eli Tomac aiming to become a five-time winner of the Daytona Supercross race, tying Carmichael’s record: “If he wins, it’s almost validation for his season…we all know this track favors him, his results speak for themselves…it’d be a great story to see him get that fifth win (at Daytona).”
