MRN + PRN = NRN
• NASCAR’s Motor Racing Network (MRN) and Speedway Motorsports’ Performance Racing Network (PRN) announced the creation of the NASCAR Racing Network (NRN).
On Friday, Feb. 14, the Network kicked off its live coverage of the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series from Daytona International Speedway with the season-opening Fresh From Florida 250, won by Corey Heim.
“Working side by side, MRN and PRN have built one of the largest radio networks in sports, delivering the excitement of NASCAR racing to hundreds of thousands of race fans coast to coast,” said MRN PresidentChris Schwartz. “The NASCAR Racing Network builds on each other’s strengths and creates a new path for us to elevate the NASCAR Radio landscape for fans and stakeholders of the sport.”
Gerry Horn, SVP/GM of Performance Racing Network, said, “Longtime fans of the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series may notice new voices but will hear the same great coverage they have come to expect over the years. We are thrilled to formalize a partnership that will strengthen both networks allowing us to continue providing award-winning NASCAR coverage to fans nationwide.”
The Tough Trucks of NASCAR turn their attention to Atlanta Motor Speedway for this Saturday’s Fr8 208 airing at 1:30pm ET on the new NASCAR Racing Network.
