CHARLOTTE, NC — Next month, SPEED Channel will add a new ‘all-access’ style show to its lineup of motorsports programming.
The new NASCAR Nation show will debut at 7 p.m. (Eastern and Pacific) on Feb. 21. Airing each week of the race season, Monday through Thursday, NASCAR Nation will be the signature show for SPEED’s NASCAR TV block of programming, concentrating heavily on features and all-access content.
On-air talent for NASCAR Nation will include Ralph Sheheen and Courtney George in the lead anchor positions, Krista Voda as senior correspondent, Connie LeGrand at the news desk, Michelle Fizer and John Willenborg as field reporters and NASCAR.com’s Marty Smith on the business of NASCAR.
Rick Miner, SPEED Channel senior vice president of programming/production and executive producer, has been supervising the development of NASCAR Nation. Having introduced successful shows including Trackside and Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain, Miner said the new show will have a feel all its own.
“NASCAR Nation will provide a unique opportunity for the fans to be immersed in the NASCAR lifestyle,” Miner said. “Whether it’s taking them behind the scenes at the track or into the lives and lifestyles of personalities from all over the world of NASCAR, NASCAR Nation is going to deliver access never before seen by the fans of the sport.”
