MavTV “American Real” will air seven United States Auto Club National Sprint Car races in 2014 as a result of a new production partnership with Jackslash Media, well known for their coverage of non-winged racing throughout the midwest
Taping begins with this Saturday night’s event at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind. and continues with Indiana races at the Terre Haute Action Track, Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Kokomo Speedway and Lawrenceburg Speedway, and concludes with races at Perris, Calif. and Peoria, Ariz.
“We are ecstatic to have our extreme racing product exposed to the motorsport centric audience of MavTV.” said USAC race director Jason McCord. “Our AMSOIL National Sprint Car Championship pits some of the most aggressive racers into battle each week throughout the U.S. It’s a great opportunity to showcase our sport to the masses of MavTV’s growing racing audience.
All shows will be produced by Jackslash Media, Inc., whose president Sean Buckley stated: “This just seemed to be the right fit for everybody. USAC has been the proving grounds for the best talent in non-wing racing and we know the tracks, owners, drivers, sponsors, and fans can all benefit from this. MAVTV has provided us a stage to showcase our favorite sport and we cannot thank them enough,” Buckley added.
The shows will begin airing in June and will include some of USAC’s most prestigious open-wheel events. Included in the lineup are the “Tony Hulman Classic” at Terre Haute, the spectacular “Sprint Car Smackdown” at Kokomo, the “Oval Nationals” at Perris Auto Speedway and the championship finale at Canyon Speedway Park in Arizona.
