Officials from the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) and MAVTV announced a new multi-year broadcast rights agreement for the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards under which racing events will be televised on MAVTV during 2017 through 2019 racing seasons.
Ten races will be telecast on MAVTV in 2017, the first of the three-year agreement. Coverage begins Saturday night, April 8 with the first live broadcast from Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville, Tennessee.
In addition to Nashville, races from Elko Speedway in Elko, Minnesota, Madison International Speedway in Wisconsin and the Illinois State Fairgrounds will also air Live on MAVTV in 2017.
“MAVTV continues its long-term commitment to motorsports,” said Bob Patison, president of MAVTV. “We see the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards as a premier property on our network, and are happy to begin our ARCA relationship with this new contract.”
In addition to the Live events, MAVTV will provide coverage from an additional 6 ARCA Racing Series events, including delayed broadcast coverage from the 4-mile Road America road course in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, plus great short track action from Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa, Winchester Speedway in Indiana, the dirt mile at DuQuoin Fairgrounds in Southern Illinois and both Salem Speedway events in Indiana.
MAVTV can be found in the US on major cable providers, including Cablevision, Charter Communications, GCI in Alaska, select cable systems within the Caribbean Co-op, Xfinity, Time Warner Cable, AT&T U-verse and DirecTV. MAVTV is currently available in 62 million homes.
The ARCA Racing Series aired on MAVTV in the early 2000s, with delayed coverage from Salem.
“ARCA has a well-established history of investing in long-term relationships, and that certainly holds true in the case of our television network partnerships,” said ARCA President Ron Drager. “We’re very pleased that MAVTV will become a broadcast partner, and are proud to be a part of their programming mix. As we build our plan for the future of the series, we’re especially enthused to make this major, multi-year announcement. This mutual commitment between ARCA and MAVTV provides our series a high-quality television platform available to deliver a tremendous value for viewers, race teams and sponsors.”
