Our second ASA Southeast Asphalt Tour broadcast of the series' inaugural season comes up Saturday night, May 3, at USA International Speedway in Lakeland, FL. The "Lakeland 125" will feature the top runners in the new Late Model tour, along with a host of invaders from the highly-competitive Florida late model scene. Preston Peltier, who won the series opener at Mobile, AL, in March, and Beau Slocumb, winner of Round 2 a few weeks ago at Cordele, GA, will be among the favorites Saturday night on the 3/4 mile USA layout.

Visioncast/Carolinas Production Group will distribute our coverage to our ASA Southeast Asphalt Tour network starting May 17, while our first broadcast has already begun airing. Our inaugural telecast of the RC Cola/Moon Pie backed series on SportSouth comes up May 7 at 7pm Eastern, a huge night for the Southeast Asphalt Series, its drivers, tracks, teams, and partners.

The same day, I'll have another crew on the ground at Road Atlanta in Braselton, GA, covering the first Playboy MX 5 Cup event of 2008,  the kickoff of another major project for us on behalf of Mazdaspeed. We'll be syndicating our coverage of the MX 5's in one-hour telecasts coast to coast this season, with veteran road racer Elliott Forbes-Robinson joining me in the booth for the call. Young Derek Pernesiglio returns to our team providing pit road coverage of the MX 5 Cup as well all season long.

Tonight we also begin our weekly duties on Sirius NASCAR Radio with Buddy Baker, hosting "The Late Shift" from 8-11pm Eastern.

Hope you can join us for the coverage all week long.
