The Sport Nation network is stacked with live commentary this week with motorsport, rugby league, the English Premier League, racing, plus Aussie Rules all featured.
The Repco Supercars Championship is in New Zealand for the next two weeks, beginning with the Taupo Super 440.
Steve Daniel joins Sport Nation to provide live commentary of the three features races across Saturday and Sunday - but with Tropical Cyclone Vaianu creating uncertainty, schedules have faced drastic changes from what was initially planned for the race weekend at Taupo International Motorsport Park.
Saturday's Race 8 remains 37 laps (120km) but now begins slightly earlier at 12.25pm (originally 12.55pm) and Race 9 has been extended to 60 laps (200km) and will start at 3.30pm (originally scheduled for 4.05pm).
Sunday's Race 10 has officially been called off with organisers shifting it to next Friday's schedule as part of the Christchurch Super 440 at Ruapuna Raceway.
The NZ Warriors are in Melbourne to take on the Storm with hopes of ending their two-game losing streak, join Sam Hewat and Blake Ayshford for that call, plus our partners SEN League have commentary of five other matches from Round 6.
Trackside's Friday Night Lights will be live from the Night of Champions, featuring The Race sponsored by Sport Nation that sees Australasia's best harness racing talent come together at Cambridge.
