The popular USAC "Thunder" racing show, which last season was shown mostly on Wednesday nights, will become "Sunday Night Thunder" on ESPN2 during the 2000 season.

Johnny Capels, president of USAC, made the announcement at the annual USAC awards banquet. The two-hour telecast will start at 9:30 p.m. (EDT) each Sunday and run for two hours.
