GLENDORA, Calif. (Feb. 11, 2010) – Whether you are in the Pacific Rim, Africa, Latin America, Canada, Europe or the Middle East, watching the fastest, most powerful motorsports on the planet, the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, is as easy as turning to one of NHRA’s three international broadcast partners: ESPN International, TSN-Canada, or American Forces Network.
Today’s announcement extends what has been a long-term relationship for NHRA with all three entities. ESPN International distribution in 2010 will reach more than 19 million households in more than 138 countries and territories around the world. TSN has been the exclusive broadcast partner in Canada for nine years, and plans on broadcasting more than 70 hours of final round coverage of 2010 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series events. American Forces Network, in 175 countries and U.S. Territories, will continue to make NHRA programming available to U.S. Armed Forces television stations located outside the United States.
Of course, NHRA’s international reach goes beyond its broadcast partners. NHRA has long maintained NHRA Member Tracks throughout North America, including Puerto Rico.
NHRA sanctions seven member tracks in Canada, offering many of its popular grassroots sportsman racing programs. NHRA’s Canadian member tracks include: Luskville, Quebec (Luskville Dragway); Napierville, Quebec (Napierville Raceway); Sparta, Ont. (St. Thomas Dragway); Medicine Hat, Alberta (M.H.D.R.A. Dragstrip); Mission, British Columbia (Mission Raceway); Ashcroft, British Columbia (Nl'Akapxm Eagle Motorplex); Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (Saskatchewan International Raceway).
Holding NHRA Member Track status in Puerto Rico is Puerto Rico International Speedway in Salinas, P.R.
Earlier this year, NHRA launched the creation of NHRA Worldwide, a program that enables drag racing facilities around the world to conduct events under the NHRA banner. Since its introduction, the program has received numerous inquiries from facilities in Europe and the Middle East to be a part of NHRA Worldwide. The first track to be associated with the program is the drag strip currently being built within the confines of the Yas Marina Circuit, located on Yas Island off the coast of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
