NASCAR Announces Developmental Series 2010 TV Schedule
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (March 9, 2010) - NASCAR has announced today the
television schedule for its developmental series for 2010.
The expanded calendar includes 21 events on SPEED for the NASCAR K&N Pro
Series and seven races for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and NASCAR Whelen
Southern Modified Tour. This comprehensive package includes airing of every
race on the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and West schedules. Three of the
Whelen Modified Tours will air as same-day televised events.
SPEED, anchored by its popular and wide-ranging coverage of NASCAR, is the
nation's first and only cable television network dedicated to automotive and
motorcycle racing, performance and lifestyle. The NASCAR Developmental
Series programming will air Thursdays at 6 p.m. ET.
"Our NASCAR Developmental Series all have a strong and passionate fan base,
and we saw the results in the viewership of last year's events and in
January for our postseason showcase, the NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown,"
said George Silbermann, NASCAR managing director of racing operations. "Our
fans spoke, and we listened. We are thrilled to be able to work with our
television partners to provide extensive coverage of the talented drivers
and tracks that help form the foundation of this sport."
SPEED, in conjunction with NASCAR Media Group, will air each tape-delayed
race as a one-hour show. SPEED will once again provide same-day coverage of
the combination event between the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and Whelen
Southern Modified Tour at Bristol Motor Speedway on Wednesday, Aug. 18, as
well as the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway
on Saturday, Sept. 18 and the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour finale at
Charlotte Motor Speedway on Thursday, Oct. 14.
SPEED's coverage will begin with the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East opener at
Greenville-Pickens (S.C.) Speedway (race date is March 27; air date is April
1) and conclude with the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West finale from Phoenix
International Raceway (race date is Nov. 11; air date is Nov. 18). The
schedule includes seven re-airs of previous events during select Thursday
slots throughout the season for a total of 34 events.
In addition, NASCAR will expand its relationship with the sports cable
television network Versus to include coverage of the NASCAR Developmental
Series. It will air an additional nine events from the NASCAR Whelen
Modified Tour and NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour.
For the fourth season, TSN will again provide season-long coverage of the
NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1.
The Versus and TSN programming schedules are currently being finalized and
details will be announced shortly.
