NASCAR knows its fans live and breathe the sport of stock car auto racing, so now there’s another new way to follow your favorite drivers on race day – from your iPhone’s Lock Screen and Home Screen.
Apple recently launched a new feature with iOS 16.1 called Live Activities that conveniently places live updates on your iPhone’s Lock Screen and Home Screen, a compelling feature adopted by many notable sports leagues and events already, such as the National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball, NCAA March Madness and The Masters Tournament.
NASCAR Mobile has now added support for fans to “Follow the Race” and access live leaderboard and race information from Live Activities in the current app release (v13.2.0), available now ahead of the upcoming race weekend at Talladega Superspeedway. Android users, we didn’t forget you – the same functionality has been custom-built for Android devices, as well.
