On the hood will be the TabloTV logo, with a football going through the field goal uprights. Below the football is the tagline “Pay once, watch forever”. The new look for the No. 71 Chevrolet has the driver, who scored his first career top-10 finish this season, pumped to get to Kansas.
“I’m really excited about this football-themed Tablo scheme celebrating the kickoff of the NFL season,” Ellis said in a team press release. “Tablo has been such a great partner for our team, and this crossover is the perfect way to highlight how fans can enjoy both our NASCAR Xfinity Series races and their favorite NFL games through Tablo.”
Additionally, Ellis is excited about his prospects at the 1.5-mile track, where he’ll carry an onboard camera for The CW’s race broadcast.
“Kansas has always been one of the most fun mile-and-a-half tracks to race at, and I’m thrilled that Tablo is also giving fans a unique perspective with the in-car camera on our No. 71 Chevrolet,” Ellis stated. “It’s a great way to show exactly what makes Kansas so exciting, while reinforcing how Tablo delivers the content fans want — whether it’s on the field, at the racetrack, or right from inside our race car.”
Tablo allows television viewers to access live, local broadcast coverage of football, racing, and anything else available for free on more than 125 over-the-air television networks. Additionally, TabloTV’s whole-home DVR device allows television viewers to watch, pause, and record free over-the-air network television on any device, in any room of their home. The device can connect to televisions through an antenna or through your home’s WiFi internet connection.
Viewers can use its DVR with a one-time purchase of the device without fear of a monthly subscription fee. Tablo TV also has a free app, which pairs with the device.
The company is excited to bring the football-themed paint scheme to Kansas Speedway to showcase that fans of the NFL, as well as fans of NASCAR, can DVR their favorite sports through their devices.
“Tablo TV is thrilled to join Ryan Ellis in Kansas City during one of the most electric weekends of the year. By bringing a football?themed experience to the Xfinity race, Tablo is expanding how local fans engage with live sports, both on the field and on the track. Kansas City blends two passions — football and racing — and with Tablo TV, we are excited to give fans more ways to celebrate, watch, and participate in the race weekend,” Alicia Hackett, VP of Platform Sales and Partnerships at Tablo TV, said.
Ellis, 35, has amassed 157 starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series since the 2012 season. The 2025 campaign marks the second full-time season of Ellis’ career, and the journeyman racer has seemingly found a home driving for DGM Racing. In addition to his first-career top-10 finish, which came with an eighth-place result at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May, Ellis scored an 11th-place finish at Daytona International Speedway a few races ago. In all, Ellis has eight top-20 finishes through the opening 26 races of the 2025 season.
