ESPN cancels “NASCAR Now”.:
The popular daily news show which launched in 2007 and was the first program on ESPN devoted strictly to NASCAR has been on hiatus since the start of World Cup Soccer started last week Network spokesperson Andy Hall said ESPN “just decided to make a change in the programming schedule.” And although ESPN will not be an official broadcast partner beyond 2014 as FOX and NBC takeover the entire schedule Hall added the move was “totally unrelated to our telecast of NASCAR races. “We will continue to present the race telecasts at the same high level fans expect from ESPN for the remainder of our final season,” Hall said. “”We will continue to aggressively cover NASCAR across our news platforms, including SportsCenter, ESPN.com and others” (like Jayski.com).(Motorsport)(6-23-2014)
