There might be some actual meat to chew on during championship week.
For starters, it will be stunning if the new television deal isn't officially announced. The latest scuttlebutt about negotiations had Fox getting the season's first 13 races, then TNT having six races before ABC/ESPN airs the final 17. One late-developing wrinkle was that the Nextel All-Star Challenge apparently will air on Speed Channel.
