Motor Racing Network is headed back to the prestigious Knoxville Nationals
for the third straight year next month, to air four special editions of “Winged
Nation.”
Co-hosts Kendra Jacobs and Steve Post will be on location at Knoxville
Raceway in Central Iowa from Aug. 6-9 to spotlight the 54th running
of the FVP Knoxville Nationals Presented by Casey’s General Stores. The
annual World of Outlaws Sprint Car
showcase is known simply as the “Grand Daddy of Them All.”
“For NASCAR enthusiasts, their ‘Super Bowl’ is the Daytona 500 and
open-wheel fans see the Indianapolis 500 the same way,” said Motor Racing
Network President and Executive Producer David Hyatt. “The Knoxville
Nationals is the premier sprint car race on the calendar and MRN is proud to be
associated with this great event once again in 2014.”
“Winged Nation,” a weekly look at the world of sprint car racing, is now in
its fourth season – streamed each Tuesday from 12 to 1 p.m. (EDT) exclusively
at www.MRN.com. The
four special one-hour broadcasts from Knoxville will stream each evening at 5
p.m. (local time), originating in front of a live audience behind the main
grandstand at Knoxville Raceway.
In addition to the live audio stream, the shows will be available through
the TuneIn app for mobile devices, and on demand through iTunes and in the
Media Center at MRN.com. That week’s regularly-scheduled airing of
“Winged Nation” will be available at its usual time on Tuesday, Aug. 5.
The 54th Knoxville Nationals encompasses a four-day format
unmatched in all of dirt-track racing. Qualifying will begin Wednesday,
Aug. 6, with additional qualifying and heat races leading up to the champion
being crowned on Saturday night, Aug. 9.
