As Nascar teams get ready for their upcoming circuits, cable network Speed is revving up 22 days of coverage from four locations staring on Jan. 7. Speed will begin its "Nascar Preseason Thunder" this week, with testing runs from the Sprint Cup, Craftsman Truck Series and Nationwide Series. The coverage will take Speed to Daytona, Charlotte, Las Vegas and Fontana.

"This season opens with quite a few questions to be answered," says Speed president Hunter Nickell in a statement. "There will be a lot of interest in seeing Nascar back on the track for the first time in '08 -- Dale Jr. in a Hendrick car, Kyle Busch in a Gibbs car, the COT at every track, new title sponsors.

"There is no shortage of story lines for 2008 and Speed will be there from the very beginning," he adds. Much of the coverage will also be in HD starting with about some 100 hours from Daytona Speedweeks.
