Inaugural ASA Southeast Asphalt Tour telecast ahead this weekend
A new week, and for the Rick Benjamin companies, a new chapter is about to unfold. After months of planning and preliminary work our Carolinas Production Group and Visioncast companies are heading on the road to Cordele, Georgia this coming weekend to work on the first-ever televised event for the new RC Cola/Moon Pie ASA Southeast Asphalt Tour. The series opened in exciting fashion two weeks ago at Mobile, Alabama, and now it's time to put our truck, cameras, and staff in place to create our first hour-long broadcast of the new tour.
Round 1 at Mobile saw 36 of the South's fastest late model stock car drivers and teams turn out for the "Bayou Classic 100", with Preston Peltier scoring the inaugural victory. Peltier will be on hand this Saturday night to try to make it two straight wins and build his points leadership, but he'll be challenged by a host of other young guns and veterans looking to bring home the trophy and the winner's check.
Scott Sutherland, Mark Allen and I will call all the action this week, and you'll be able to see the first RC Cola/Moon Pie ASA Southeast Asphalt Tour telecast the weekend of April 20 on a long list of cable and broadcast affiliates. Check our website as well as www.asasoutheastasphalttour.com for all the broadcast details.
It'll be a busy week in our offices on other fronts, as we wrap up our new contract with Mazda to televise the MX-5 Cup, and as we close our arrangement with Cayuga Speedway Park in Canada. We'll be producing the ARCA ReMax Series event plus the ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series race at Cayuga June 29, and distributing those shows on a Canada- based sports network. We also anticipate distributing those events on MavTV here in the US.
We'll also be heading to Atlanta Wednesday to call the season's second USAR Pro Cup event for Versus, and we'll be hosting our normal schedule this week on Sirius NASCAR Radio, channel 128 on your Sirius Satellite Radio. Buddy Baker and I will have the "Late Shift" from 8-11pm Eastern Wednesday, 7-10PM Eastern Thursday, and Pete Pistone will join me Sunday night for our Sirius NASCAR postrace coverage on the "Backstretch" from 8-11pm Eastern.
Hope you can join us along the way as we start to fire on all cylinders in the 2008 motorsports season.
