Bob, we had the same questions so I e-mailed SpeedshiftTV and their broadcast begins with practice and will start at 5:30 PM Central Standard Time (3:30 PM Pacific Time) on Wednesday evening. She couldn't give me a broadcast starting time for Thanksgiving Night as they haven't established that yet.

According to the Ventura Raceway website the USAC/VRA Sprint Cars will be in action both Wednesday night and Thanksgiving Night but they do not specify whether both nights will consist of a full show or not. No mention is made as to what extent the midgets are racing either night. I sent them an e-mail asking for clarification regarding the midgets but haven't yet received a reply at this point. When I do I'll let you know. Over the past few years I've had very little success in getting replies from VR so I won't hold my breath.
