As per title, who is showing this years NASCAR season on satellite this year?

I believe the 'proper' NASCAR is again on PremierSports and the 2nd tier (was 'Nationwide' but has a new name this season) is on MotorsTV.

not actually confirmed for Premier as yet AFAIK (and according to their web site) I am waiting to hear as I need to cancel my subscription should it not happen as there is zilch else on the channel I watch.

Any updates on the premier sports/NASCAR situation?

nope, now spent £40 on wasted subs since the last time watched anything on the channel.

The Sprint Unlimited isn't on UK TV next weekend...

I've just tweeted them to ask them, not holding out for an answer though.
If they don't have the coverage i'll be cancelling quicker than a quick thing.

Hopefully NASCAR will continue what they started in the second half of last year and keep posting full races on YouTube.

No coverage of Xfinity (nationwide) series on Motors this year either.

Premier sports have just announced on their facebook page they have the coverage for another 3 years, with HD to come in the summer.

Yes, good news but no doubt a price hike on the way, wondering if they pitched for the Premier league and were holding out for the decision on that before committing, given the timing. Sprint unlimited this Saturday night/Sunday morning then!

Well that's a year of nascar paid for

[insurance_jon]

Anyone staying up for the race tonight?

[eastlmark]

maybe not worth an all nighter for this race, especially if it preceeded by driver introductions. I will sky+ it and then spend most of Sunday avoiding social media.

[eastlmark]

cracking spectacular race in the end!

Which flippin channel is this on? I can't find it on Premier's schedule and nor is it showing on SKY's.

Thank you for that. I didn't explain myself very well. I have Premier. But, I can't see the Daytona 500 on its schedules for next weekend. It's all NHL.

Is SKY showing any highlights?

[anonymous-user]

Its on 5pm on Sunday according to the SKY EPG
