CHARLOTTE, NC — Cogeco Cable Canada’s English-language subscribers can now enjoy a one-month preview of FOX Sports Racing before it’s added to the channel lineup on Cogeco’s Sports Life tier.

“FOX Sports continues to show a strong commitment to the Canadian motor sports community, and we’re happy to make FOX Sports Racing available to our customers,” said Anne Isabelle Roussy, VP Marketing and Product Development for Cogeco Cable Canada, in a FOX Sports press release.

FOX’s dedicated motor sports network has been bolstering its schedule recently, with the addition of the Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals being held this summer at various locations across Canada, plus last month’s announcement that the National Hot Rod Association’s Mello Yello Drag Racing Series is coming to FOX Sports in 2016. FOX Sports also recently extended its broadcast deal with the FIA Formula E Championship through to the 2019-2020 season.

“We continue to invest in and strengthen FOX Sports Racing in Canada, an effort not possible without our valued distribution partners,” said David Nathanson, Head of Business Operations for FOX Sports. “The Cogeco launch continues a string of summer successes and ongoing momentum for the network.”

FOX Sports Racing’s 2015 schedule includes nearly 800 events and more than 900 hours of competition-driven programming. To view the complete FOX Sports Racing programming lineup, visit www.foxsportsracing.com.
