Media Credentials & Editorial Standards

 Turn 3 Media is an independently owned and operated motorsports media outlet providing NASCAR coverage through original reporting, race analysis, feature stories, commentary and at-track coverage. Our goal is to provide accurate, timely and responsible coverage for both longtime race fans and those who simply want to better understand the stories shaping the sport.

Official Media Resources

Turn 3 Media maintains access to the NASCAR media portal and utilizes official news releases, statistics, race information, transcripts, schedules, media materials and other resources provided through the platform to support accurate and timely reporting.

Information obtained through official media resources may be supplemented by interviews, publicly available information, direct observation, team and driver communications, and other credible sources when developing Turn 3 Media coverage.

Access to the NASCAR media portal does not constitute endorsement of Turn 3 Media by NASCAR and is separate from approval for event-specific media credentials.

Event Media Credentials

Turn 3 Media may apply for media credentials to NASCAR events and other motorsports events on an event-by-event basis.

Credential approval, access levels and applicable restrictions are determined solely by NASCAR, the applicable sanctioning body, racetrack, promoter or event organizer.

When credentialed for an event, Turn 3 Media may receive access to designated media areas, press conferences, interview opportunities, garage or pit areas, photography locations and other areas authorized by the organization issuing the credential.

Turn 3 Media respects and follows all credential agreements, media policies, photography guidelines, access restrictions and professional standards established by the applicable sanctioning body, racetrack or event organizer.

Media credential approval does not constitute an endorsement of Turn 3 Media by NASCAR, any sanctioning body, racetrack, team, driver, manufacturer, sponsor or other motorsports organization.

Editorial Independence

Turn 3 Media maintains editorial independence regardless of credential status, media access, relationships within the industry or access to official media resources.

Credentialed access does not determine or influence the opinions, analysis or conclusions published by Turn 3 Media.

Our coverage is intended to distinguish factual reporting from analysis and opinion while providing appropriate context when reporting on developing stories, competition matters or issues within the sport.

Turn 3 Media strives to verify information before publication and to clearly identify information that has not been independently confirmed.

When errors occur, we believe they should be corrected promptly and transparently.

Photography & Media Usage

Turn 3 Media respects the intellectual property rights of photographers, teams, sanctioning bodies, racetracks and other content creators.

Photography and other media published by Turn 3 Media may include original Turn 3 Media photography, properly licensed material, images supplied for editorial use, authorized media resources or other content used with appropriate permission or attribution.

Turn 3 Media does not consider access to media credentials or media resources to provide unrestricted rights to photographs, video or other copyrighted material.

Credentialed Event Coverage

As Turn 3 Media’s at-track coverage continues to expand, events for which the outlet receives official media credentials may be documented on this page.

Credential status applies only to the specific event or events for which access was approved and should not be interpreted as permanent accreditation or endorsement by the sanctioning body, racetrack or event organizer.
