slightly o/t- oval racing on sky sports

[acorn]

during this week's world motorsport programme, there was a promo for a new show about uk oval racing which starts next week (6th feb) on sky sports. it appears to cover mainly short ovals BUT wouldn't it be good if the BIG oval was also included(maybe it will, who knows)?

anything bringing oval racing to the attention of potential punters has to be good.

Not to worry, i've googled my way round it. Lots of "ifs, buts and maybe's" on the net but (although nothing official from Sky) it looks as though they are showing at least the first 3 meetings + the shootout and the twins (if you belive heresay!!!!)

As this thread has turned into another thread about NASCAR on TV, I'm closing it.
