MAVTV and Lucas Oil’s newly launched worldwide app, LucasOilRacingTV, is expanding coverage of stock car racing in 2016 with the addition of six Super Cup Stock Car Series (SCSCS) events. SCSCS is a reformulation of the old Late Model Hooters Cup Series that made a 2008 format change. Now in its 9th season, SCSCS teams race steel-bodied, 600hp, V8 Chevrolets and Fords on quarter and half-mile asphalt tracks across the Midwest.
MAVTV coverage includes the SCSCS series opener from Columbus Motor Speedway in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday, June 18, followed by a doubleheader (Rounds 2 & 3) on July 9 from Jennerstown Speedway in Jennerstown, Pennsylvania, before revisiting Jennerstown Speedway on Aug. 27 (Rounds 4 & 5). The SCSCS season points finale will be held at Motordrome Speedway in Smithton, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, Sept. 17. Each MAVTV/SCSCS show will be 30 minutes long, with air dates and times announced at a later date.
“I am excited to be part of the MAVTV family in 2016,” said Joe Schmaling, SCSCS director of competition. “SCSCS is ‘Racin’ the way it used to be.’ We put on a great show for the fans and we know TV viewers are going to love it.”
Each telecast will be produced by Sopwith Motorsports Television Productions of Indianapolis.
“Bringing entertainment such as SCSCS to grassroots racing fans is what we are all about,” said Jason Patison, program director of MAVTV/LucasOilRacingTV. “Stock cars in all their forms have continued to evolve through the years, but SCSCS is pure, affordable, old-school racing and they put on a thrilling show every time.”
Lucas Oil Racing TV was launched through its website, LucasOilRacing.TV, on Jan. 1. The Chili Bowl broadcast was the first live offering to racing fans worldwide. The app is in the process of rolling out on smartphones, tablets and smart TVs. It is currently in development for Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Kindle Fire tablets, Android TV, Android Tablets, Apple iPads and Roku. Subscriptions are $4.99 per month with a one-year agreement, or $6.99 per month for a pay-as-you-go plan.
