ESPN after NASCAR rights

According to a member over on the Digital Spy forums, they received an email from ESPN regarding the NASCAR rights, which says ESPN are currently holding talks regarding the rights.

"I was forwarded your question about NASCAR coverage in the UK in 2010. Thanks very much for your passion and your interest in ESPN and our channels.

At the moment, I can tell you that ESPN is actively in discussions about live coverage of NASCAR in the UK, and we look forward to having more news to share in due course.

Thanks very much, and know that we appreciate - and share - your love of sport.

Sky have recently lost the rights to NASCAR, and it looks like ESPN will acquire them fairly soon.
