Motor Racing Network is boosting its Daytona Speedweeks coverage by adding more than 14 hours of Sprint Cup Series practice to its broadcast schedule, the network announced on Thursday.
MRN will broadcast all the Sprint Cup practice sessions, which begin on Friday, Feb. 13.
AJ Allmendinger, a Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup driver in 2014, will join Joe Moore and Jeff Striegle in the broadcast booth for the Sprint Unlimited on Feb. 14. MRN's coverage of the non-points, exhibition race will start at 7 p.m. ET.
MRN's coverage will be capped off with the 57th running of the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 22. MRN will be on air at 12 p.m. ET.
The expanded slate for MRN will not just take place at Daytona. MRN will be broadcast live from Sprint Cup practices at each of the International Speedway Corporation-owned tracks as well as Dover International Speedway, Pocono Raceway and Charlotte Motor Speedway during the All-Star weekend. MRN will also broadcast Sprint Cup Series qualifying from the same 15 venues.
Moore and Striegle will anchor the race-day coverage throughout the season. In addition to the announced return of Eli Gold and the additions of NASCAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace and former Miss Sprint Cup, Kim Coon, to the network's coverage, turn announcers Mike Bagley, Dave Moody and Kyle Rickey as well as pit reporters Alex Hayden, Steve Post and Winston Kelley will be back for all the action.
MRN will have coverage of 25 Sprint Cup Series race weekends in 2015, as well as 21 XFINITY Series events and all 23 Camping World Truck Series events. Their coverage will conclude with coverage of the Sprint Cup Series Awards in Las Vegas in December.
