Motor Racing Network – “The
Voice of NASCAR” – will open one of its busiest months of the
season this weekend with four races from two very different venues, including
Sunday’s FedEx 400 Benefitting Autism Speaks in Dover, Del.
All told, MRN will deliver
12 live race broadcasts from seven different states. Its busy month will begin
today with exclusive radio coverage of the Lucas Oil 200 Camping World Truck
Series race at Dover International Speedway. Barney Hall and Joe Moore will
anchor the broadcast, which starts at 4:15 p.m. (EDT).
NASCAR Nationwide and
Sprint Cup Series races will follow from “The Monster Mile” on Saturday
and Sunday, respectively. But the one-mile concrete oval isn’t the only venue
hosting Motor Racing Network this weekend.
The GRAND-AM Rolex Sports
Car Series will run its inaugural Chevrolet GRAND-AM 200 Presented by Metro
Detroit Chevy Dealers around the scenic Belle Isle Park street circuit Saturday
afternoon, with MRN’s live coverage beginning at 4:45 p.m. Eli Gold and Preston
Root will anchor the broadcast from “The Motor City.”
The network will return to
Michigan for Father’s Day Weekend to present a NASCAR doubleheader. The
Alliance Truck Parts 250 for the Nationwide Series will be run Saturday, June
16, at Michigan International Speedway. The following day, Sprint Cup Series teams
hit the newly paved Irish Hills oval for the Quicken Loans 400.
The broadcast schedule for
the weekend of June 8-10 will feature three races from three places. Friday
night, it’s the Camping World Truck Series in Texas. On Saturday afternoon, the
GRAND-AM Rolex Series visits the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and the following
day, MRN’s tripleheader concludes with Sprint Cup Series competition from
Pocono Raceway.
The network’s broadcast
month includes a visit to Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis., and will end
Thursday, June 28, with the UNOH 225 Camping World Truck Series race from
Kentucky Speedway.
The June schedule is part of
Motor Racing Network’s 2012 slate that features 88 live broadcasts from
33 venues across the country. In addition to servicing a nationwide network of
affiliate radio stations, all programming is streamed live at individual
stations’ websites as well as www.motorracingnetwork.com – and now accessible
on mobile devices.
Motor Racing Network’s
2012 slate began in January with a live broadcast from the NASCAR Hall of Fame
Induction Ceremony and included around-the-clock coverage of the 50th
Anniversary running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona. It’ll conclude in December with
the Sprint Cup Series Awards Ceremony in Las Vegas.
