Any word on what channel it will be televised on? I'm hoping it's not on VS channel. Comcast owns VS and they are screwing Direct TV and VS isnt being televised.

I'm hoping Robby Gordon can come through with a victory this year. He would have won it last year if it wasn't for 1 or 2 bad stages.

It was cancelled last year and moved this year because Islamic terrorists threatened the route.

No, it'll be on the VS channel. If your like me and have Direct TV then your screwed because they are having a battle over pricing for that channel with Comcast.

Join PlanetRobby.com and you'll be getting updates as the event goes along. You can also check out jayski.com which is a NASCAR info site that'll have updates and links to videos.

It irritates me that they call it Dakar instead of Buenos Aires. The place is as beautiful as Dakar and deserve the recognition.
