The daily NASCAR news
show debuted in 2007, but network spokesperson Andy Hall told Motorsports.com today
that the network “just decided to make a change in the programming
schedule.”
ESPN ends its run as an
official NASCAR broadcast partner at the end of this season – giving way to FOX
and NBC – but Hall called the move “totally unrelated to our telecast of NASCAR
races.” In his words, “We will continue to aggressively cover NASCAR across our
news platforms, including SportsCenter, ESPN.com and others.”
"NASCAR Now" has been pre-empted in the last two weeks for coverage of the FIFA World Cup, and prior to that, frequently aired in the early morning hours.
Further proof auto racing is dying a very slow death.
ReplyDeleteFurther proof that people who remain anonymous probably don't deal in facts only fiction ....yw moody
DeleteNASCAR Now is a joke. The best show ever was Wind Tunnel.....
ReplyDeleteBSPN sucked in general, and nascar "right now" was a joke
ReplyDeleteMust have been tough for Andy to say.......
ReplyDeleteSure it is unrelated....sure. Just happenstance they say. Want to buy some nice dry land in the Everglades?
ReplyDeleteLet's see: spotty coverage, no set time so it moved all around, sometimes so silly it wasn't worth watching, etc. Golly gee, I wonder why nobody was watching
ReplyDeleteThe reality is there is too much coverage of NASCAR - shows like NASCAR Now were overkill. NASCAR needs to scale back having so many shows covering it.
