NBC Sports Group, a division of US media company NBCUniversal, has signed a multi-year extension to its broadcast rights deal with US motor racing series TORC: The Off-Road Championship.
The off-road truck racing series said the new commitment by NBC Sports represents a significant expansion of its TORC coverage beyond the broadcast of selective events in 2012 and 2013.
The multi-year deal will include broadcasts of all racing events as well as behind-the-scenes episodes featuring TORC teams and drivers.
TORC president BJ Birtwell said: “This announcement heightens the prestige of TORC’s National Championship for the Pro Light, Pro 2 and Pro 4 classes by offering our fans and sponsors a large audience from a TV partner that is widely distributed and known for great automotive programming.”
The 2014 TORC series is due to commence on April 5-6 with the Primm Off Road Raceway event in Nevada.
