Nationwide race on ESPN Classic, Speed

ESPN has moved the live telecast of Friday's NASCAR Nationwide Series Lipton Tea 250 at Richmond International Speedway from ESPN2 to a simulcast on ESPN Classic and Speed.

The network announced the move Thursday to accommodate an NBA playoff game between Washington and Cleveland. The pre-race show will begin at 7 p.m. Friday, with the race following at about 7:30 p.m. on both networks.

The race will also be shown in its entirety on ESPN2 at approximately 9:30 p.m., following the NBA game.

ESPN enjoyed its best Nationwide Series rating last week at Talladega (2.6 on ABC, a 28 percent increase over 2007) since taking over as the exclusive broadcaster of the series last year.
