In advance of this Sunday's Daytona 500, Motor Racing Network will be broadcasting live today from the "World Center of Racing." From 8am until 5pm ET, MRN.com will have live coverage of Daytona 500 Media Day where representatives from the network will talk with every driver attempting to win at the high banks of Daytona International Speedway.

In-depth interviews with reigning NASCAR Cup Series Champion Ryan Blaney, 2020 Champion Chase Elliott, and fan favorite Bubba Wallace are just a few of the sport's superstars expected to join the eight-hour broadcast. Additionally, when the green flag flies Sunday on the sold-out, 66th running of "The Great American Race," MRN will welcome these new affiliates:

  • WSBN-AM/Washington, DC
  • KFNS-AM/St. Louis, MO
  • WISW-AM/Columbia, SC
  • WMBA-AM/Pittsburg, PA
  • WVJS-AM/Owensboro, KY
  • WOKA-FM/Valdosta, GA
  • WUSX-FM/Lewes, DE
  • WAFC-AM/Clewiston, FL
  • KRWP-FM/Pampa, TX
  • WCNL-AM/New London, NH

After a career in NASCAR broadcasting, Performance Racing Network (PRN) President and Lead Anchor Doug Rice announced plans to retire following the 2024 PRN broadcast season earlier this month. Rice will join MRN's Daytona 500 broadcast and kick off his "Last Lap" tour by checking the historic event off his "bucket list."

The 2024 Daytona 500 is Sunday February 18, with Motor Racing Network coverage beginning at 1:30pm ET and will be carried on 350 radio stations across the U.S.
