ESPN/ABC To Stretch ALMS’s Reach In 2008
MONTEREY, Calif. — ESPN and ABC will be among the host of networks televising the American Le Mans Series next season.
ESPN and ABC will cover three consecutive ALMS events from St. Petersburg, Long Beach and Houston.
“We could not have a better start to our season than these four races,” said Scott Atherton, CEO/President of the American Le Mans Series, “and to add a new television partner like ABC with its ESPN brand certainly validates the prestige and growth of our series.”
In July, the series returns to the airwaves of NBC Sports for the first time since 2004 from Mid-Ohio and the season finale at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (October) in the chase to its four class championships.
ALMS also reaffirmed its 10-year relationship with Speed through its recently announced new three-year agreement with the motorsports network.
