2007 NASCAR Schedule

The offseason for NASCAR has been pretty busy, as usual. When your season runs from February through November, there isn’t a lot of down time, especially since the first race of the year — the Daytona 500 — is also the most important.

Some items of note:

• Satellite radio coverage is moving from XM to Sirius who is already running full page color ads in USA Today
• Tony Stewart joins Howard Stern and others with his own radio show on Sirius
• For TV coverage, NBC and FX are out while Fox, Speed Channel, ABC, ESPN and TNT will split the races; for details of this 8-year, $4.8B deal, see this Wikipedia article
• DirecTV will offer live in-car coverage for certain drivers (for an additional cost, unfortunately)
• Goody’s Headache Power replaced by Tylenol – I’m not even sure what to say about this

Update 2006-02-07: Also see more details about the NASCAR TV Schedule.
