The most expansive television coverage package in 41-year history of SCORE international kicks off this Sunday at 6 p.m. PDT.
The following is from SCORE International, promoters of the SCORE World Desert Championship, which includes the Tecate SCORE Baja 500 and Tecate SCORE Baja 1000:
Already with a total of six airings confirmed, the 2014 SCORE World Desert Championship series will premier this Sunday at 6 p.m. (PDT) with a one-hour CBS Sports Spectacular special on the CBS Sports Network.
It was announced in February that CBS Sports Network will televise the entire five-race 2014 SCORE World Desert Championship series. Each one-hour telecast will air the month following each event, starting with the season-opening 28th Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 desert race. Here is the link for the trailer of the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES6YJ2Y7xUA.
Round 2 of the series will be held next week in Plaster City, California, as SCORE returns to Southern California for the first time since 1998 for the Inaugural Imperial Valley 250. In 2014, two SCORE races will be held in the United States and three in Baja California, Mexico. The first CBS Sports Network air date for the Imperial Valley 250 is scheduled for 6 p.m. (PDT) Sunday, June 15.
The CBS Sports television deal provides the most expansive television coverage package in the 41-year history of SCORE. The regular telecast time slot for the five 2014 SCORE World Desert Championship events will be Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET. Further, a sixth show will cover the 2014 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 qualifying event, to be held November 4-7 in conjunction with the massive annual SEMA Show automotive industry trade show in Las Vegas.
“From the trailer and the rough cuts we have seen, Bud Brutsman and his BCII TV crew has done a wonderful job of capturing the essence of a SCORE Baja race in San Felipe,” said Roger Norman, SCORE CEO/President. “We look forward to enjoying the final product Sunday on the CBS Sports Network. It was an extremely exciting race and the audience will be able to view it all up close and with some very creative camera work. The show also captures some of the awe-inspiring beauty of Mexico’s majestic Baja California peninsula.”
