From Rich Vleck
ROCHESTER, NY – It’s the premier race on the Northeast sprint car scene, and for the first time it is being sensationalized on television.
Ohsweken Speedway’s Canadian Sprint Car Nationals is the final race from the 2009 shot by the Hot Wings TV cameras and is now ready to be viewed by an audience that perhaps has never been able to witness.
The 5th running of Canada’s largest sprint car race drew 76 cars, including some of the top names in all of sprint car action; with only 29 starting spots available, the fight just to get in the race was thrilling. Once getting in, the 30-lap race with $9,000 awaiting the first driver to the checkered flag is one of the most sought after destinations of the year.
The 60-minute program highlights every event on a beautiful Saturday Night in the Fall and gets inside all of the action to give you a taste of what it was like.
Rich Vleck is joined in the booth this show once again by Greg Birosh, with Clinton Geoffrey joining the team from trackside. Along with competing in the event, racer Kevin Loveys also contributes to the broadcast, handling the Flag2Flag.com Racing Classifieds Tech Tip.
The Ohsweken event will run though January and will conclude the second season of sprint car racing on television in New York. More events are being planned for 2010 with information to follow in the future.
For those interested in seeing more than just the 60-mintue broadcast, the complete Canadian Sprint Car Nationals DVD is being finished up and can be purchased later this week. More information can be found on the Hot Wings TV website.
Scheduled airtimes are complete for each of the markets. All airtimes and prior episodes will be updated on the www.HotWingsTV.com website, with complete on-demand coverage from the first eight Hot Wings TV events. This is a great option for those without cable or out of the viewing area.
