NASCAR Unveils New TV Plan

NASCAR Wednesday announced its television partners for races starting in 2007.

The eight-year deals include the FOX, SPEED, TNT and ABC/ESPN networks.

FOX will broadcast the season opening Daytona 500 and the next 12 events of the Nextel Cup season, TNT will televise races 14-19. The next seven events will be seen on either ABC or ESPN with the final 10-race Chase for the Nextel Cup events scheduled for ABC exclusively.

NASCAR is proud to continue its relationship with FOX, SPEED and TNT, while welcoming back ABC/ESPN into the family of broadcasters, said NASCAR Vice President Dick Glover. By signing deals with three of the largest and best media companies in the world, NASCAR will meet the growing nationwide fan demand for more NASCAR content into the next decade.

The All-Star Challenge is scheduled exclusively for ABC.
