ESPN2 is available in 81% of homes in this country. FS1 is available in 73%. ESPN2 is part of basic cable in most systems. FS1 is on the extra-cost Sports tier on many cable systems.

If you don't get FS1, does NHRA exist? In addition, without covering the series, how much coverage do you think NHRA will get on ESPN Sports Center? My bet is only when someone dies.

FS1 also does a lot of NFL coverage during the season, so I would not count on much airtime on Sunday afternoons.

The positive point is that NHRA will be the biggest name motorsports on FS1, now that F1 is on NBC.
