CBS Sports Network to Air 2013 World of Outlaws and Super DIRT Week Action

Programming airs Sundays at 9:00 PM, ET beginning Sunday, Nov. 3

CONCORD, N.C. - Oct. 7, 2013 - CBS Sports Network will air six major events from the World of Outlaws and Super DIRT Week, as well as a special countdown show, beginning on Sunday, Nov. 3 and continuing each Sunday at 9:00 PM, ET through Dec. 22.

Coverage on CBS Sports Network kicks off with a one-hour special program entitled World of Outlaws WOW!, documenting the "Top 10 reasons why they call it 'The Greatest Show on Dirt!'" The show features wild flips, great championship battles and much more.

The first race premieres Sunday, Nov. 10, with a two-hour telecast from Williams Grove Speedway.

"This is big news for our sport. CBS Sports Network is available to a wide audience and will consistently deliver an enhanced, high-quality production," said World of Outlaws/DIRTcar CMO Ben Geisler. "It was important for us to get back to a consistent time slot, and we are excited to make that happen for our fans."

The coverage includes World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series events this fall from Williams Grove Speedway and Rolling Wheels Raceway Park, in addition to the crown jewel 42nd Annual NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week at the New York State Fairgrounds, and the World of Outlaws World Finals from The Dirt Track at Charlotte featuring the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Cars, World of Outlaws Late Models and Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds.

Nationally acclaimed drag racing announcer Dave Rieff will anchor the broadcasts, returning to his dirt track roots. Prior to a long career broadcasting NHRA events, Dave got his start at short tracks in Iowa, eventually becoming the lead announcer at Knoxville Raceway. The broadcast team will also include sprint car hall-of-famer Brad Doty providing analysis in the booth and Bobby Gerould interacting with drivers in the pits, with cameos from other experts along the way.

CBS Sports Network is available across the country through local cable, video and telco providers and via satellite on DirecTV Channel 221 and Dish Network Channel 158. For more information, including a full programming schedule and how to get CBS Sports Network, go to www.cbssportsnetwork.com .

2013 World of Outlaws TV Schedule (All Times Eastern)

Glad to see that they have went with Tape Delayed action to make sure those in the stands aren't inconvenienced by TV.

Hope to see a press release around World Finals time with next years TV schedule and race schedule (or even during the broadcast of the World Finals would be good).

TV is needed to ensure companies are still willing to invest/sponsor teams for the long term. 

I do hope that the WRG and CBS Sports Channel are "selective" in the events/venues that they do broadcasts from going forward as it will do Sprint Car (and dirt track racing in gereral) no good to have TV shows from places that are "holes in the wall" or that are extremely dusty/dirty. 

Hopefully this will lead to additional series/event sponsors to help the tracks out too.

Great news!! Only comment is I wish they would have picked a different Big Block Modified show. Syracuse is the most boring race on the schedule.

oh I was going to watch it and make up my own mind now I know it will be a boring race thanks for saving me the time

Somethime saying nothing is a good choice,  ya think

Glad to see CBS Sports jump on board with sprint car racing. This is a huge win for all Sprint car groups nation wide

well, it hasnt been run yet, maybe it will be good. I was just speaking historically.

Jeff Kristensen

that is definately great news for our sport...let's hope wrg can keep it together eh?

Ascot was the greatest of all time..

West Capital wasn't half bad either..

Life is good...

Good news, bad news.  First the good news.  The Outlaws are on television again.  Now the bad news.  We scaled back to the 105 channel package so I don't have that channel.  Easy to say "just add it" but scaling back the television and getting some bills paid down for my retirement.  No chance of adding any channels.  My son has it but I'd have to deal with little kids trying to show off in front of their grandpa.

Good news. Bad news. Good news is that it's great exposure for the entire sport of sprint car racing. Bad news is that they made such a HUGE deal out of tape-delaying only 6 races? Snooze for any REAL sprint car fans.....

Don't watch.

Google CBS sports streaming live it looks like you can watch it on the net.

As long as they keep offering the live cybercasts for the shows CBS is doing I like it. The coverage from the Grove was the best cybercast coverage I've seen to date... and you got the whole show rather than the edited version that will be on TV.

Is CBS Sports on Mediacom? If it is what channel ? Thanks in advance for any information.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa Channel # 171 or 762HD Mediacom

Not a bad first two races to start on TV as this weekend provided some of the best racing Williams Grove has seen in years.  Hope this is a long-term partnership. 

+1

Oh I'll be watching, as I do every dirt track race on TV. Thanks for your suggestion though.

"Somethime saying nothing is a good choice,  ya think"

That would be some sage advice for yourself.

Cheers!

Jeff, you are 100% correct on that Syracuse modified deal, saw it 'live' once, never again.....

My point was it has not run yet why put a downer on it before it even happens
