NASCAR, IRL dumped in Europe?

Sky Sports have confirmed they will not be showing any live NASCAR Sprint Cup races this season and it's believed rival broadcasters Motors TV and Eurosport won't show it either. However, since ESPN is now in Europe and tied at the hip with NASCAR, don't be surprised if they pick up the coverage.

Meanwhile, there are also rumors that IRL coverage will also be dropped by Sky Sports as they look to change their motorsports output to something more in tune with what Europe race fans want. NASCAR and the IRL do not race in Europe, and European fans cannot identify with cars droning around in circles for hours, so why should they bother to show their races.
