In light of NASCAR pressing the pause button on the 2020 racing season, Motor Racing Network (MRN) is diving into its archive to present replacement programming for the network's 600+ radio affiliates. MRN Classic Races start this Sunday, March 22 with a re-broadcast of the 2004 Ford 400 from Homestead-Miami Speedway. The race features eventual season champion Kurt Busch losing a wheel during the contest and teammate Greg Biffle taking the checkered flag.
MRN Classic Races will air in place of MRN broadcasts postponed due to the COVID-19 crisis. The archived races were specifically curated from broadcasts at the tracks impacted by the suspension of the NASCAR season and are scheduled to begin at 1pm ET.
