Sunday: NASCAR On FOX From Las Vegas

It's an awkward day for everyone as the time change lost folks one hour of sleep. The Sprint Cup Series is at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and goes on-air at 2:30PM. The green flag is 3:15PM and there is also live radio streaming at goprn.com today.

SPEED handles the pre-pre-race programming with RaceDay starting at 12:30PM ET. John Roberts has Larry McReynolds, Kyle Petty and Kenny Wallace on the expert panel. Wendy Venturini, Matt Clark and Rutledge Wood are the reporters.

FOX has Chris Myers, Michael and Darrell Waltrip on the pre-race show. Keep an eye on whether or not the trio moves outside like FOX did last year. Between Daytona weather and the small track at Phoenix, we have not seen the FOX pre-race team outdoors yet.

Mike Joy will call the race with the senior Waltrip and Larry McReynolds. On pit road are Matt Yocum, Krista Voda, Steve Byrnes and Dick Berggren. Jeff Hammond will once again be a roving reporter.

We will be taking your comments on Twitter during the race on the TV coverage. Immediately after the race, there will be a post up here for your long-form comments.

Saturday: Nationwide Series Race on ESPN2

The NASCAR TV on Saturday is being provided by SPEED, except for one telecast jammed in between two college basketball championship games. Once again, NASCAR is the odd man out on ESPN2. Shades of college football season.

At 5PM the Nationwide Series is scheduled. There is a 3PM championship hoop game, so it's going to be touch and go for an on-time NASCAR TV coverage start. Allen Bestwick is calling the race with Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree. Jamie Little, Vince Welch, Dave Burns and Dr. Jerry Punch are on pit road. I am told Tim Brewer is in the Tech Center, but that is a long way to drive for a few minutes of air time.

As usual, we will be live blogging this race on Twitter. My account is twitter.com/thedalyplanet. We are using the #TDP1 hashtag for our live stream.

If you do not have Twitter, come on over. It's easy, fun and EVERYONE from NASCAR is there. Just go to Twitter.com and sign-up. Type #TDP1 in the search box to see our conversations. You can go to TheDalyPlanet to see who I follow and then explore from there. If you type NASCAR without the # into the search box, you will get a great list of all kinds of NASCAR personalities on Twitter you can follow.

We will post a new column after the race for your long-form comments. Thanks!
