Speedway Showcase Hits Broadcast Television this Weekend with Weedsport Big Block Mods!
Rich Vleck, ROCHESTER, NY, (June 7, 2018)- Speedway Showcase is set to break new ground this weekend as the auto racing program moves to broadcast television.
Speedway Showcase will air its first of five episodes for 2018 on Saturday, June 9 and Sunday June 10 in Upstate New York. After 10 years exclusively on cable, the Hot Wings Media programming is now available to nearly every television viewer in the three major markets. The season-opening “Ice Breaker 50” for the Big Block Modifieds from the Weedsport Speedway will kick off the programming for 2018. This mid-length for the Big Blocks was a unique format that provided the ideal conditions for a made-for-tv race.
The Weedsport event will begin airing in the Buffalo market on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. on CW 23 (WNLO). The Syracuse market will be able to see Speedway Showcase on Sunday Morning at 7:30 a.m. on CBS 5 (WTVH), while the Rochester market airing will be at 10:30 a.m. on CW 16 (WHAM-2).
Back again for 2018 are many of the great elements of Speedway Showcase. Veterans Rich Vleck and Doug Elkins have the call of the race action while Paul Szmal provides experiences insight from trackside. In addition to all of the racing action, there is another edition of the popular “Kid Question” to bring you closer to the modified stars while another trip to Weedsport would not be complete without another showcase of the improvements made to the facility.
A week following the broadcasts, the Weedsport event will be available on-demand at www.SpeedwayShowcase.com.
