We look forward to bringing our live race broadcasts from tracks around the country directly to the greater Nashville area.”
In addition to airing the races, ESPN 102.5 the Game’s Program Director, Chase McCabe, will continue to add coverage with his weekly show “Chasing Checkers” which features drivers and other voices of NASCAR. “I am excited to have NASCAR racing on our radio stations!” said McCabe. “As someone who has covered the sport for several years, it’s a thrill to enhance our coverage even more by airing the races.”
