The DirecTV HotPass channel lineup for today’s running of the Pocono 500 from Pocono Raceway shapes up like this:
#2-Kurt Busch, 795
#17-Matt Kenseth, 796
#31-Jeff Burton, 797
#40-David Stremme, 798
#11-Denny Hamlin, 799
No Dale Jr on 799 today. Denny Hamlin swept both races at Pocono last year. Wonder if there’s any correlation?

Via Jayski, the DirecTV HotPass Channel line up for today’s running of the Coca-Cola 600 from Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Charlotte:
#17 Matt Kenseth, 795
#20 Tony Stewart, 796
#48 Jimmie Johnson, 797
#01 Mark Martin, 798
#8 Dale Earnhardt Jr., 799
And at DirecTV’s HotPass site, you can sign up for half-price for the remainder of the season, if you’re so inclined.
I had incorrectly assumed that there would be no HotPass coverage for tonight’s running of The Nextel All-Star Challenge1 from Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Charlotte. But a quick check of the Tivo TV Guide reveals the following:
Let’s see: no points awarded, a million bucks on the line, night racing on the ragged edge, and 5 of the sport’s best on HotPass.
I think I’ll take it in.

For the running of Saturday Night’s Dodge Avenger 500 from the grand old speedway in Darlington SC, we have:
#31-Jeff Burton, 795
#26-Jamie McMurray, 796
#20-Tony Stewart, 797
#40-David Stremme, 798
#8-Dale Earnhardt Jr, 799
H/T: Jayski, a living legend in NASCAR news. Cutting and pasting beats transposing stuff from the DirecTV guide.

Not even an Arkansas Sabbatical will deter me from posting the HotPass Lineup for tonight’s running of Crown Royal Presents The Jim Stewart 400 from Richmond International Raceway. This race also has the distinction of winning the Faulkernesque Naming Award for the first half of the season.
#31-Jeff Burton, 795
#24-Jeff Gordon, 796 (fan choice)
#11-Denny Hamlin, 797
#99-Carl Edwards, 798
#8-Dale Earnhardt Jr, 799
Car number, driver, and channel are indicated above, in a slightly different format than before. H/T: Jayski for the lineups.
My brother-in-law doesn’t have DirecTV, so we’ll be watching the event on Fox Sports. Hmm, and today is Derby Day, too. Better check the beverage supply.

The HotPass driver channels for this week’s running of the Aaron’s 499 from Talladega shakes out like this:
Three members of my Fantasy Race team are in there; looks like the remote’s channel changer will take a beating. And Dale Jr should change his car number to 799, it looks like. Speaking of Fantasy Racin’, I must head over there and replace one of my sluggard drivers who failed to qualify. The race gets underway about three hours from now; I wonder how much Lynyrd Skynyrd music I’ll hear between now and then? My guess is lots; glad I like the band.

As they race off into the sunset tonight in the running of the Subway Fresh Fit 500 from Phoenix, the HotPass featured drivers, and their channels are:
It’s nice to see some new faces in the lineup – Newman and Sorenson are making their first appearance. As far as Junior goes, he’s a fixture on channel 799.
THe drivers line up thusly, for the running of the Samsung 500 from the Texas Motorplex:
Clint from Kansas, and is on my fantasy race team. Channel 799 is all-Earnhardt-all-the-time for sure.
The DirecTV NASCAR HotPass driver channel lineup for today’s running of the Goody’s Cool Orange 500 from Martinsville Speedway lines up thusly:

Driver channels on DirecTV’s NASCAR HotPass for the running of today’s Food City 500 from Bristol Motor Speedway1 shake out like this:
The green flies at 2:30 EDT. I’ve gotta find a replacement driver for Mark Martin, who is sitting this one out. I hope this doesn’t portend a plummeting in my Fantasy Racing standings. I’ve already demonstrated I can rapidly go from the penthouse to the outhouse in basketball handicapping.
