The 2009 NASCAR Camping World East Series schedule was announced on December 24, 2008. The 23rd season for the series consists of an 11 race schedule at 10 tracks. The series lost three tracks from last year's schedule (Stafford Motor Speedway, Music City Motorplex and Mansfield Motorsports Park) but gains one new track for this season (Tri-County Motor Speedway). The Tennessee State Fairgrounds was initially on the schedule but changes in management of the track at the venue (new management decided to eliminate NASCAR sanction) resulted in the loss of the event. For the fourth year in a row, the regular season will start at Greenville-Pickens Speedway on April 11. The series will make its first appearance at Tri-County Motor Speedway two weeks later on April 25 before heading to Iowa for the series' third appearance at Iowa Speedway. The Iowa race will be a combination East/West race where drivers from both series will compete against each other. Drivers are awarded points based on their finishing position against drivers in their series. (i.e. Highest finishing driver in the East gets first place points and the highest finishing driver in the West gets first place points) Traditional stops at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Thompson International Speedway, Adirondack International Speedway, and Lime Rock Park fill up the bulk of the summer schedule before the regular season finale at Dover International Speedway on September 25. The 2009 season Toyota All-Star Showdown takes place January 30, 2010, and will be televised live on Speed Channel. 1 All races will air tape-delayed on Speed Channel on Thursdays at 3pm ET 2 Non-points event. This race airs live on Speed Channel. == Television == NASCAR announced on March 16 the broadcast schedule for the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Series race schedule on SPEED. The races will be aired as a one-hour special each Thursday at 3 p.m. ET. “The NASCAR Camping World Series features the NASCAR stars of tomorrow locked in exciting, wheel-to-wheel competition,” said George Silbermann, NASCAR managing director of racing operations. “This comprehensive schedule allows fans to tune in the same time every week and catch all the action from their favorite track. Our partnership with SPEED provides an exceptional platform to showcase the tremendous talent as they tackle the challenging mixture of short tracks, road courses, and speedways.” The annual East-West Challenge at Iowa Speedway Sunday, May 17 will air on Thursday, May 28. The last two years, fans have tuned in to watch the best NASCAR Camping World Series drivers from both coasts go head-to-head in addition to competing against one of the top drivers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. In 2007, then-16-year-old Joey Logano outran Kevin Harvick, and last year Brian Ickler held off the challenge from Kasey Kahne. NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kyle Busch has already committed to run this year’s event. The SPEED coverage will cover all 11 races beginning with the opener at Greenville Pickens Speedway in Greenville, S.C. The opener, scheduled for Saturday, April 11, will air Thursday, April 16. The season will conclude Friday, Sept. 25 at Dover International Speedway and the race will be broadcast Thursday, Oct. 1. The Toyota All-Star Showdown will air live January 30, 2010, at 10 PM EST. The NASCAR Camping World Series East race at Music City Motorplex in Nashville, Tenn., originally scheduled for Saturday, July 18, has been cancelled due to changes in track management, and the lack of a suitable replacement for that date. The new Tennessee State Fairgrounds promoters decided to remove the NASCAR sanction for the track. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2009 NASCAR Camping World East Series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
