UNOH 150 To Air Live On SPEED
New England 100 Telecast Set For Thursday, Aug. 19
Daytona Beach, FL — For the second year in a row the UNOH Perfect Storm 150 at Bristol Motor Speedway will be broadcast same-day on SPEED.
The second installment of the NASCAR Whelen Modified and Whelen Southern Modified Tour combination race at the “World’s Fastest Half Mile” will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 18. SPEED will carry the race live starting at 6 p.m. ET.
The inaugural appearance for both the Whelen and Whelen Southern Modified Tours at the concrete half-mile in Bristol, Tenn., in 2009 was won by Donny Lia. The UNOH Perfect Storm 150 will be the only combination race for NASCAR’s two Modified Tours in 2010.
The UNOH Perfect Storm 150 will precede NASCAR Camping World Truck Series O’Reilly 200 on Aug. 19, which will also air on SPEED.
It will be a big week for the Whelen Modified Tour on SPEED. A day after the Bristol telecast, the New England 100 will premier on Thursday, Aug. 18 at 6 p.m. ET. The New England 100 was contested on June 26 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
With the New England 100 now slated for Aug. 19, the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race at Colorado National Speedway will now air on Thursday, Aug. 26 at 6 p.m.
Like the UNOH Perfect Storm 150 at Bristol, the Whelen Modified Tour F.W. Webb 100 at New Hampshire will also be carried same-day by SPEED on Saturday, Sept. 18.
