Have been watching for some world of outlaw sprint car racing on speed, but to date have not found anything. I am Canadian and just wondering if they are broadcasting here? I thought Speed was going to broadcast. Anyone have any info on that?

I didn't think speed actually filmed much racing..sprint cars, nascars, etc.

I thought the only channel filming sprint cars was the "Outdoor Channel", which can be

purchased as an extra charge to your monthly Dircect TV bill.

For 2007 the only WoO TV will be on ESPN2 and SPEED. The ESPN2 shows will be for the "Summer of Money" starting in June per the following schedule published with the PR:

"The “World of Outlaws Summer of Money” on ESPN 2 includes:
Event Date (Air Date) — Venue
June 16 (June 17) — Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway
June 23 (June 24) — Dodge City (Kan.) Raceway Park
June 30 (July 1) — Red River Valley Speedway, West Fargo, N.D.
July 6 (July 8) — Route 66 Raceway, Joliet, Ill.
July 14 (July 15) — Kings Royal, Eldora Speedway, Rossburg, Ohio
July 17 (July 22) — Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup, Lernerville Speedway, Sarver, Pa.
July 28 (July 29) — K-C Raceway, Chillicothe, Ohio
Aug. 4 (Aug. 5) — The Raceway at PowerCom Park, Beaver Dam, Wis.
All broadcasts air from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. (ET) Sundays on ESPN2"

The SPEED schedule hasn't been published yet It is supposed to include 12 races. But it is doubtful any of these early season races are included. We are expecting to see a schedule in the next couple of weeks, including the DirTVision Cybercast schedule.

The Outdoor Channel will not have any WoO races this season.

Don't know if that means andything or not.
