Spanish football headlines this month
with ESPN's ongoing coverage of
the Spanish Primera League
SPANISH PRIMERA LEAGUE
Games from "La Liga" air all season on ESPN
with two matches featured each weekend
The Spanish Primera League is widely considered, along with the English Premier League, one of the most competitive leagues in the world…and for good reason. "La Liga" has historically attracted some of the best players on the planet, while many of the top Spanish talents also choose to play the game they love on home soil. With the arrival of Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo and Brazilian midfielder Kaká to Real Madrid and Sweden's Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona, the trend clearly continues.
Barcelona made history last season by joining a select group of famed sides - England's Manchester United, Scotland's Celtic and the Netherlands' Ajax and PSV - who have claimed the coveted triple: the domestic league title, the Cup and the European Cup. A repeat isn't out of the question, although Ronaldo & Co. at Real Madrid, not to mention last year's other top sides, Sevilla and Atlético Madrid, are sure to push them to the limit.
ESPN's coverage of the Spanish Primera League features two matches every weekend, one match LIVE and another match on short-turnaround spotlighting either Barcelona or Real Madrid. Dates and times TBD.

MLS crowns a new champion this month -

United.
In the West, the Houston Dynamo, Cup winners in 2006 & 2007, have been the class of the conference, while a group of solid contenders - led by the Los Angeles Galaxy, Chivas USA and Seattle Sounders FC - have battled all season for the No. 2 spot.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL (MLB)
ESPN wraps the MLB season with
LIVE coverage of the World Series
November sees the crowning of a new Major League Baseball ( MLB ) champion with LIVE coverage on ESPN of final games from the incomparable World Series . Last season, for the first time in 14 years, the New York Yankees weren't on the field for the MLB Playoffs. This year they are back with a vengeance, by late August slugging their way to the best record in MLB and a clear shot at the American League (AL) pennant. That is, of course, if they can fend off some deeply talented challengers led by the West's Los Angeles Angels and Texas Rangers, their Eastern rivals the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays, and the Central's Detroit Tigers.
In the National League (NL), the Los Angeles Dodgers started the season on fire and have maintained their dominance, but will need to be even tougher if they hope to stay ahead of the NL's other leading clubs: the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies and the surging St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals boast arguably the best player in the game in slugger Albert Pujols, a two-time winner of the NL MVP award who is on track to make it three.

the Breeders' Cup World Championships
See the best horses from North America and Europe vie for purses totaling $25.5 million at the Breeders' Cup World Championships , the premier event on the North American racing calendar.

Now in its 26 th year, the Championships are a showcase for the sport at its highest international level, attracting the world's premier equestrians and most magnificent thoroughbred horses.
The Breeders' Cup World Championships have grown enormously over the past three years, from eight to 14 races with total purses increasing from $14 million to $25.5 million. Races include Turf, Mile, Sprint, Juvenile, and the marquee event, the Breeders' Cup Classic, where the leading 3-year-olds and up go head-to-head for the day's largest purse, $5 million.

MOTOR SPORTS - NASCAR and NHRA Drag Racing
NASCAR crowns a new Sprint Cup champion as
the Chase for the Cup wraps up LIVE on ESPN
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series takes the final checkered flag of 2009 with LIVE coverage on ESPN of the remaining Chase for the Cup races. The season's last 10 races determine the champion, with the last four airing this month from some of NASCAR's most storied tracks: Talladega Superspeedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Phoenix International Raceway and the season-closer at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
While Jimmie Johnson won last year in Phoenix on his way to claiming a third consecutive title, it was red-hot Carl Edwards winning three of the season's last four races (Atlanta, Texas and Homestead-Miami). Tony Stewart, meanwhile, ended a 43-race skid with his win at Talladega. As the 2009 Chase for the Cup heads for the final turns, Johnson, Stewart and Edwards are in the thick of things, joined by past champions Jeff Gordon and Kurt Busch, surprise challenger Denny Hamlin, and two drivers who notched four wins each by late August, Mark Martin and Kyle Busch.
ESPN presents coverage of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series airing LIVE, on short-turnaround and taped throughout the season.
Schedule: S.A. LIVE coverage
Nov 1 20:00 AMP Energy 500 at Talladega - Talladega, AL

Nov 22 22:45 Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami - Homestead, FL
NASCAR's Nationwide Series , the sport's second-tier series for up-and-coming drivers, also crowns a new champion this month with LIVE coverage on ESPN of the season's final three races from Ft. Worth, Phoenix, and the season-closer from Homestead. While rising stars start to make their name at this series - this year led by teen talent Joey Logano, who claimed three wins by mid August, and Australian driver Marcos Ambrose - it is still veteran Sprint Cup drivers in best position to take the title, led by Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards.
Busch, the hot-headed driver fans love to hate, won six times by late August, opening up a solid lead on his closest challengers, Edwards and Brad Keselowski. At the Bristol race in August, Busch ended an 11-race streak of finishing first, second or third that dated to Nashville in June. While not being at his best in the Sprint Cup this season, in this series Busch has been on fire, leading in 23 of 24 races to date.
Nationwide Series races generally take place at the same tracks as the Sprint Cup Series, with ESPN providing coverage throughout the season, airing LIVE and on short-turnaround.

The Countdown to 1 wraps in November with ESPN's
coverage of NHRA racing from Las Vegas and Pomona
NHRA Drag Racing wraps the Countdown to 1, crowning new champions and closing another high-octane season of first-class drag racing on ESPN, with this month's races: the NHRA Las Vegas Nationals from Vegas and the season-closing Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals from Pomona. This last part of the championship, where only the top 10 drivers in each category vie for the title over the season's last six races, has been spectacular, delivering the blistering side-by-side racing that keeps fans coming back year after year.
Top Fuel has been all about former Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Antron Brown and his quest to keep defending champion Tony Schumacher from claiming an unprecedented sixth consecutive world championship, while in the other major class, Funny Car, the season shaped up into a three-way battle between 2007 champion Tony Pedregon, Ron Capps, and Ashley Force Hood, the leading female driver who has finally stepped clear of the long shadow cast by her father, 14-time world champion John Force.
