NASCAR might bore me to tears, but it's hard to ignore the fact that another huge sport is taking the 3D route. Interestingly though, this time it has nothing to do with your TV, but rather your PC! I'll just paste the e-mail we received from NVIDIA verbatim:
When the green flag is waived at Daytona International Speedway on July 3, 2010 at 7:30 pm EST, it will signal the start of the NASCAR Coke Zero 400. It also signals the launch of the first ever live NASCAR 3D stream for NVIDIA 3D Vision PC owners!
Today, Turner Sports and NASCAR have just announced that they will be streaming the NASCAR Coke Zero 400 from Daytona in 3D on July 3rd at 7:30pm EST!

This is the first event to make use of the Silverlight with 3D Vision streaming video player that NVIDIA and Microsoft built to enable a seamless stereoscopic 3D experience for 3D Vision PCs and notebooks.
The race will be located on Nascar.com (www.nascar.com/racebuddy3d) and will feature windowed-mode 3D video, an interactive leader board, and advertising in the form of pre-rolls with companion ads. This is an innovative first in the 3D industry, and opens the door for content owners to utilize the Internet as an additional channel to distribute and monetize 3D video.
We just posted a blog about this here: http://blogs.nvidia.com/ntersect/2010/06/drivers-start-your-3d-vision-engines.html
As well as system requirements here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/NV-3DVision-Nascar.html.
In the coming days, there will also be a demo feed to test your 3D Vision systems from the Nascar “Racebuddy3D” site.
