And American Dragster will be on ESPN2......
From Geiger Counter Geiger Counter: January 2007 :

More drag racing TV on its way
Ten brand new episodes of American Dragster will begin airing in April, this time on ESPN2. Ron Capps remains the focal point of the show but there are some episodes where the crew follows Pro Stock racer Erica Enders as well. They also hope to add in some footage of a Top Fuel team at work.
It's been my experience over the years that fans really like to see what's going on behind the scenes and the guys at American Dragster really do a nice job of following their subjects all over the place. Driving the car is such a small part of what our stars do and this show sheds some light on all of the other demands.
"The thing of the American Dragster crew is that they're with you every minute of the day so after awhile you kind of forget they're around," Capps said. "Because of that I think the fans get to see the real people other than what they might see in a 10-second sound bite at the end of the track. The feedback we've received has been awesome. A lot of people are like, 'I had no idea how much stuff you have to do every day.' It kind of let's people see our lives for what they are, and sometimes that's a lot of hard work."

Why would anyone tune into the Outdoor channel to see Motorsports! I'm curious if this was this Masters entertainments idea, I hope not!

But the Outdoor channel has shown other forms of motorsports.... world of outlaws and the dakar rally i know of... think thye are trying to get a lineup close to the old TNN days.. racing and hunting... who knows...
