No answer from above I'm sad to say.

So the question is.........

Are we all 100% confident, without any doubt that SKY are going to show all NASCAR SPRINT for 2008. My contribution is that I have been told (two sources) it is in the schedules right up to the last race in Miama in November.

Will upgrade to sports tonight, nope, wife said pay the extra £7 and do moivies as well. £45 a month blimey, my first car was bought for less than that. A yellow Vauxhall Viva, with twin head lights, nice !!!

Hi

Just registered so i can reply to this post.......

Just rung SKY and the guy said he had no information about NASCAR, he even ask him manager who was nearby......so it looks like either i had a numbscull on the line or someone on here is telling porkies.

Also having rung Setanta last night, he said it would be shown on NASN2, which is Ireland Satanta, and we caould only get it if the signal was in the correct position, sometimes UK people can get and sometimes not!!

I would hold fire on the swaps/upgrades etc

I'd much rather it stay as it was last year with everything on setanta £10 per month otherwise wont it cost £34 per month to subscribe to sky?
Most important thing tho i'm sure we all agree is we get the racing live.

Be careful with SATANTA, as they do not know what the difference is between SPRINT and NATIOWIDE. they do not have the Daytona 500, but they do have the ORBIT 300 from Daytona which is a NATIONWIDE race. The people at SATANTA do not have a clue what they are taking about. SANTANTA are not showing SPRINT NASCAR

The newest Sky guide magazine which subscribers get says nothing about Nascar being shown. It is missing from the live sport listings on the days it should be shown.

It is all a bit last minute by the looks of things. I think it is logical for Sky to show Nascar as they seem to be showing a fair bit of american sport and they would pull in more viewers then they do with the IRL.

Lets hope something definitive comes out soon then people can make the necessary arrangements.

It's a shame NASN can not use Setanta ireland space anymore, but considering the three or four cock-ups Setanta made, that NASN could do nothing about, I am not surprised ESPN have sold the rights to Sky.

Can't wait for Sky's coverage but have big worries. NASN's coverage (when not involving Setanta's stupidity) was excellent.

well, they'll have big gaps on sunday nights in the schedule now the american footballs (almost) finished. nascar would fill that slot nicely!

it is on setanta been informed tonight..

do you think its a battle of the bids between the two.I wonder how many people watch nascar in the uk , bet its bigger than you think.
