NASCAR’s Motor Racing Network and Speedway Motorsports’ Performance Racing Network have teamed together to launch the NASCAR Racing Network for coverage of the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series.
The network launched on Friday, February 15 with the annual series launch and will carry all races through the final race on October 31.
Chris Schwartz, President of Motor Racing Network said, “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. 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.”
PRN SVP/General Manager Gerry Horn commented, “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.”

Probably won’t mean much to the stations that carry the trucks. Their technical situation won’t change, they’ll just hear PRN folks when the races are at tracks where PRN does Cup/Xfinity races.
