Rumors of NASCAR Switching TV Providers Early Are... Rumors

As you all know, NASCAR has a new set of TV deals coming up on the horizon.  And some have been thinking and saying that because of this new deal, NASCAR might be embracing their new contract earlier than expected.

That is untrue and NASCAR has released a quick statement to that affect:

“Despite speculation over the last month that NASCAR’s new television agreement could be pushed up to the start of the 2014 season, NASCAR has informed our broadcast partners today that FOX, Turner and ESPN will finish the current term as originally planned. While we were humbled by the desire of NBC and FOX to start 12 months early, we now consider this matter closed and look forward to finishing our current agreement in 2014 with our great partners at FOX, Turner and ESPN.”
