NASCAR's Motor Racing Network (MRN) and Speedway Motorsports' Performance Racing Network (PRN) have announced the formation of the NASCAR Racing Network (NRN), a collaboration that aims to expand NASCAR's radio reach and enhance coverage for race fans across the country. The newly established network launched its live coverage last Friday with the season-opening Fresh From Florida 250 at Daytona International Speedway.

"Working side by side, MRN and PRN have built one of the largest radio networks in sports, delivering the excitement of NASCAR racing to hundreds of thousands of race fans coast to coast," said Chris Schwartz, Motor Racing Network President. "The NASCAR Racing Network builds on each other's strengths and creates a new path for us to elevate the NASCAR Radio landscape for fans and stakeholders of the sport."

"Longtime fans of the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series may notice new voices but will hear the same great coverage they have come to expect over the years," said Gerry Horn, Performance Racing Network SVP and General Manager. "We are thrilled to formalize a partnership that will strengthen both networks allowing us to continue providing award-winning NASCAR coverage to fans nationwide."

Motor Racing Network, known as "The Voice of NASCAR," is in its 55th year of broadcasting and serves as the primary audio source for NASCAR stock car racing. MRN's play-by-play coverage of the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR XFINITY Series reaches approximately 500 radio stations nationwide.

Performance Racing Network (PRN), a Speedway Motorsports LLC subsidiary, is one of two NASCAR-licensed multi-broadcast radio networks that markets, produces, and distributes motorsports programming 365 days a year.
