Speedvision has changed their plans - the race was originally going to be aired at 8PM that evening. This is very cool - although I'll be out riding that day... :)

DAYTONA SUPERCROSS LIVE ON SPEED CHANNEL

PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- PICKERINGTON, Ohio - A late schedule change for Speed Channel means a huge bonus for AMA EA Sports Supercross fans. AMA Pro Racing is proud to announce that the 2002 Daytona Supercross by Honda will be televised live from Daytona International Speedway on Speed Channel on Saturday, March 9 at 1 p.m. Eastern time. Florida's own Ricky Carmichael will be vying for his third-straight victory in the classic event.

"We're very pleased that Speed Channel is showing the Daytona Supercross live," said AMA Pro Racing CEO Scott Hollingsworth. "The event has reached the point that live TV is the next logical step in its continued growth. Speed Channel has put together a top-notch broadcasting team for the race that includes one of the AMA's great champions, Rick Johnson."

I will be at the track, and 8pm was perfect for me. I planned to be home in time to see what the camera caught that I missed. I hope they replay it.

MSG and the Fox Sports Network often air shows originally broadcast on the Speed Channel.

Just to get things clear....

Is Speed Vision / Speed Channel the one that has the red "SPEED" logo always on their screen? Just want to make sure :)

 

[JimmyD2]

Yep.
