TSN has secured a multi-year agreement to air the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, which gets underway in May, until October 2007.

The deal includes 12 one-hour broadcasts, which will consist of race coverage, driver interviews and features.

‘As NASCAR’s popularity north of the border continues to grow, TSN has enjoyed increased NASCAR audiences, which have more than doubled in the past 10 years,’ said TSN president Phil King in a statement.

TSN recently acquired broadcast rights to all 35 NASCAR Busch Series races, including the inaugural Montreal race.
