AFTER LOSING NASCAR, TNN READY TO RUN WITH THE OUTLAWS

          TNN President David Hall said this week that the
     network "has purchased an interest" in the World of Outlaws
     series and the American Speed Association (ASA), according
     to Jeff Wolf of the LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL.  Hall did not
     reveal the size of the stake, but referred to TNN as an
     "equity partner."  Hall: "We've been working on (a
     partnership with ASA) for the past six or seven years, but
     we've been sold so many times it's been hard to keep
     (negotiations) alive. ... Our mission is to have properties
     and have [TV] rights in such a fashion that we make our
     money and grow their business.  We don't run their business,
     and they don't run ours" (REVIEW-JOURNAL, 1/14).
