I hope FOX gets the shit can!!

BIG TV News - NASCAR declines TV option with Fox after 2006: NASCAR declined an option to extend its TV contract with Fox Sports past the 2006 racing season, said Dick Glover, NASCAR's vice president of broadcasting and new media. Fox, NBC and Turner Sports are in the fifth year of a six-year, $2.4 billion contract to televise NASCAR races. NASCAR had to decide by May 31 whether to pick up its option with Fox through 2008. Glover said the move was made to end all of its television contracts simultaneously. "All it means is we've synced up the agreements with our broadcast partners," Glover said. "We've said all along we'd like to renew with all of them. That hasn't changed." Glover didn't disclose the size of the option. "Our contract runs through 2006, and we are continuing discussions with NASCAR about a new deal," Fox spokesman Dan Bell said. Former ABC Sports Executive Steve Solomon said ABC and ESPN are possible bidders for NASCAR's rights when the current agreements expire after the 2006 season.(Tennessean)(6-4-2005)

A certain member won't be happy at all with this

As long as they also have live Busch races on ESPN 2, not tape delay, I'll be happy

fucking bullshit!!!!!!!!! :angry: :throw:

I guess no more "Crank it Up" no more Dicky (well he might move to the new network, no more of the best graphics, picture and sound, and no more Nascar Drivers 360. :angry: :angry:

And I see everyone (well most of you) liking this idea of going to ESPN and ABC. we'll see if you're happy once you see tape delayed Busch races, happy hours and even some Cup races. yeah it'd be nice to see ABC back because of the past but that was when they didn't have coverage of all the sports. ESPN/ABC has Football, College Football, baseball, basketball, NCAA Hoops, hockey, golf, tennis, and every other fucking sport out there.

what goes around comes around and I won't be surprised one bit about guys bitching and complaining about tape delayed races. quote me! :angry:

As big as NASCAR has gotten in the time since Fox and NBC took over, do you guys REALLY think they're gonna tape delay stuff like they did in their first run?

CHILL!

Nascar is basically opening things up so that they will almost be able to auction the contract off.

Well this is just me but except for maybe some of the people (If Fox goes away which I seriously doubt will happen, I do hope ESPN gets at least Mike Joy, Dick Bergren, and Steve Byrnes and maybe even Matt Yocum though he's with NBC too) they had the first go round, I think it'd be entirely different this time.

well I hope they get that new contract.

And Aaron: ESPN/ABC ain't gonna stop airing Football, college football, march madness, divisional series or the nba playoffs just to air a race. ESPN still don't consider NASCAR a major sport and that ain't a surprise.

If thats the case, then don't worry because I doubt they'd be getting it. NASCAR is going to go to someone who'll give it top billing when it comes time.

Yeah, I'm sure that part of the contract would include airing Cup races live.

Did ESPN ever tape delay a Cup race? Not that I recall.

They even tape delay stuff.

If FOX is booted out, though, Speed might not be so much of the Nascar Channel.

UPDATE: Only half the NASCAR TV renegotiations story with Fox came out last week. NASCAR officials said they had decided not to renew the final two-year option with Fox for 2007 and 2008. But the real story, according to sources, is that Fox has proposed canceling that two-year option in order to sign a new six-year contract with NASCAR, for 2007 through 2112, for a slight bump in money. And Fox executives are reportedly pleased with David Hill's work last week at Charlotte in his negotiations with NASCAR. Hill is Fox's sports boss; his duties have also expanded to include running DirecTV, the satellite network. It is unclear what role DirecTV might play, if any, in any new Fox-NASCAR contract. NASCAR officials are very interested in expanding their sport's international television coverage.(Winston Salem Journal)(6-6-2005)

I loved ESPN but I don't like change. We've gotten used to NASCAR on Fox, keep 'em. Just as long as they get back their 2003 form (2001-2002 is an impossible act for even them to follow).
