NASCAR 2011

Not long till the new season starts.

Anyone knows if we will have TV coverage this year in Ireland, rumour has it Open access were outbid by premier sports, but premier sports only broadcast to the UK.
Setanta???

TheChrisD · 23-01-2011 2:13pm

I'm 99% sure I'm going to be back watching it via Internet streaming, since the only way I'd get to be able to watch it on Magnet is if it goes to ESPN, or ESPN America.

amacachi · 23-01-2011 2:21pm

According to Digital Spy it'll probably be on Premier Sports which I think means Setanta over here.

gs39t · 23-01-2011 2:27pm

Everything on digitalspy just seems to be speculation. I havent heard of Premier before, but im a little annoyed that i bought a dish and box just to get open access last year

amacachi · 23-01-2011 2:33pm

You would've been as well hooking up a stream to the telly, better quality than Open Access. :pac: I think Premier Sports is the new incarnation of Setanta in the UK, them and Setanta still have the rights to several things I'd love to watch and would pay for, but not pay them.

speedboatchase · 25-01-2011 10:43am

Ugh, unless it's on Setanta Ireland count me out, not paying for that channel. May have to rely on streams

Min · 29-01-2011 10:03am

It is confirmed that Premier Sports are showing NASCAR in the UK.

Setanta sports ireland have confirmed on they're facebook page that they will be showing the Sprint cup races, click on the tab that lets you see what others say and you'll see Setanta confirming it to two people!

Good stuff

Hopefully the races dont get bumped for football all the time. I wonder does this include the 500, normally the rights to that are sold separately.

Sky Sports had the 500 last year and then didn't show the rest of the season.

Really? Dammit, Magnet got rid of Setanta

dcr22B · 31-01-2011 12:06pm

Not impressed with Setanta that they're showing NASCAR but not showing WRC this season

Thank God for Motors TV even if their coverage was a bit naff in 2010.

It is on Setanta Sports 1 at 1am Sunday morning - the bud shootout.

Would anyone like to take part in a fantasy league for boards on Yahoo? I can set it up if people want to join.

I'm watching the Superbowl too, the bud shootout is next Saturday night/Sunday morning.

easygoing39 · 10-02-2011 5:14pm

This is great news that we get to see the NASCAR live in Ireland,nice one Setanta!! Can't wait for this!! Yeee hawwwww!

Shakeandbake! · 13-02-2011 12:32am

F*********k I didn't realise until now that Setanta has live NASCAR!! Must get my subscription before the 500, in the meantime where would i find a decent stream to watch the shootout?

homer simpson · 13-02-2011 12:51am

IMO setanta aint worth it just for nascar alone

As i'm an eircom customer i was hoping they would show it on their setanta eircom stream page but their not, so in the same boat as above, if anyone comes across a decent stream would they mind sharing please, if i find one i will post it up here too....

gs39t · 13-02-2011 12:55am

Typically useless Setanta made no mention of them having NASCAR anywhere, so it was pure chance i found out reading here and someone asking them on facebook.

Shootout tonight

homer simpson · 13-02-2011 12:55am

Found a good steam on MyP2P

Found a decent stream. Go to Justin.tv and search for the channel of Freddy49, v little buffering.

Grim. · 13-02-2011 1:18am

I realise that, I thought it was meant to be on last night.

EDIT: Just realised "today" is the 12th, stupid day changing at midnight!

206 MPH ..... I can see a big crash coming, something has to give. Only prob with being a cheapscate and watching online is bloody american ad's, beggers cant be choosers i guess, he he.

Shakeandbake! · 13-02-2011 2:14am

Well Edwards did say during the break that he couldn't see where he was goin!

gs39t · 13-02-2011 2:16am

Split screen cams on Setanta during the US breaks!

Grim. · 13-02-2011 3:07am

great finish

me thinks the 500 will be fun to watch

TheChrisD · 13-02-2011 3:09am

Another bull**** yellow line load of crap. Hamlin's bumper was ahead of the 39 before he went below the yellow line. Then he went below, but didn't gain any position, therefore legal.

NASCAR really does not do this ruling well. It ****ed Smith out of his 'Dega win in '08, and it's ****ed Hamlin here today.

TheChrisD · 19-02-2011 4:38am

MICHAEL WALTRIP WINS...the Truck race.

But still, car #15 winning 10 years to the day after that fateful moment on Lap 199 of the 2001 Daytona 500...

Min · 19-02-2011 8:38am

I saw of this race, though fell asleep given the hours it was on - the big one was really big.

Both of them were really big! Just your typical Daytona truck race.

Waltrip only won because the other good trucks werent around at the end

djimi · 19-02-2011 1:34pm

How was Setantas coverage last weekend? Was it like OpenAccess where they literally just streamed the US coverage?

TheChrisD · 19-02-2011 9:22pm

Tony Stewart makes it four Nationwide season-openers in a row :rolleyes:

... and six out of the last 7!

I hope tomorrow's race is good, but im not a fan of this two car tandem stuff, its pretty awful.

Shakeandbake! · 20-02-2011 6:22pm

Gentlemen start your engines!! Junior FTW - sentimental reasons!

TheChrisD · 20-02-2011 6:23pm

Cars are away and rolling. 500 miles over 3-4 hours coming right up!

Shakeandbake! · 20-02-2011 6:28pm

Went looking for odds on Junior today, PaddyPower had him at 11/1, but I got 33/1 with Boylesports, good each way value i think.

frostie500 · 20-02-2011 6:30pm

I've always had a soft spot for Jeff Gordon but Kevin Harvick looked very impressive during the Bud Shootout(I didnt see the Duels on Thursday) but his car looked rock solid and very fast.

With tandem racing though the big one could be massive! Should be a great race!

TheChrisD · 20-02-2011 6:30pm

BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY, LET'S GO RACING BOYS!!!

amacachi · 20-02-2011 6:36pm

Bush lucky there.

amacachi · 20-02-2011 6:39pm

Johnathangregorio is streaming as per usual. He's got the best feed out of all of them, even better than Freddy.
