Just wondered if anyone used any streaming service for racing.  What would be your recommendation?  What's the best deal for the money?   Thanks

There are many. It depends on what you are interested in. I use most of them, and theyre pretty reliable these days.

My favorite is short track asphalt late models and I also enjoy the dirt late models as well.  Just trying to figure it all out. I was hoping to get to some races this summer but I'm in that "high risk" group and doubt I will get to any races other than virtually.  Glad Nascar is on TV now.....gives you something to watch other than the coronavirus case info.

I have floracing (watching eldora stream race right now) it gets you all eldora events and all of the all star sprint car races plus more...I also have lucas oil tv which gets you many of there events but not all...happy with both of them

Cant help you with asphalt. As far as Late Models

Dirtvision carries all WoO Late Model races and the UMP Summer Nationals plus a lot of sprint car stuff.

Lucas oil tv carries a lot of the Lucas races but not all.

Speedshifttv has probably the most variety, a little bit of everything

Floracing is more sprint car specific but they also show a lot of late model stuff (they own dirt on dirt). They also have exclusive rights to Eldora. They also have a nifty app on most devices.

Dirt on dirt is great, theyre probably the top as far as a late model fan can go but they tend to lean towards individual ppv instead of a monthly fee. They have been giving away a lot of streams with a standard sub but idk how long that goes beyond the pandemic.

Floracing - has the All Stars, Eldora (not WoO Sprints) and USAC plus select Dirt on Dirt Late Model racing. They have an app and you can use roku, apple tv, etc with it. Downside is you have to pay for the year. Service is very reliable and the app is easy 

 

Dirtvision - 39 a month gets you all of WoO Sprints and WoO Late Models, plus weekly shows at Knoxville, Attica and Williams Grove. They also let you pay per race, but if you watch two races a month you go over 39 dollars mostly. Downside they don't have an app up and running yet, supposedly are working on it. 

 

Speedshift.tv - they charge by the race or have a premium account. They have tons of stuff from all over the country. They have the weekly Lincoln and Port Royal, Kutztown shows. 

 

Dirttrackdigest.tv  - this is a sleeper, as it is really good if you like Northeast Style Mod racing. You pay online per race and then can get instructions to get app and watch it from wherever. They do all of the short track super series events plus a lot of Empire Super Sprint stuff and New York tracks (most American Racer affiliated places) 

 

The cushion is another one that Selinsgrove uses, but am not familiar. 

 

Also speed51 does a lot of paved stuff and some dirt stuff. Haven't tried it in a couple years, as I had the most problems with it, as they didn't have enough bandwith to stream some races they said they were. I imagine its a lot better now, as most of them have it figure out now.

Dirt track digest is one I forgot about. The pay per race model generally keeps me away. I used to not mind it so much when it was the norm, but now its not. But they also seem to kick more of the profits to the track than the other services. But what I have seen of theirs is great.
