HOT CARS, FAST TRUCKS FROM SIN CITY; BOWYER SET TO VISIT NASCAR RACEDAY AND TRACKSIDE

TRUCKS IN SIN CITY: The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series rounds out its summer stretch with Saturday’s race from Las Vegas Motor Speedway. SPEED’s live coverage of the race begins Saturday at 9:30 p.m. ET. Rick Allen, Phil Parsons and Michael Waltrip will call the race with Adam Alexander and Ray Dunlap reporting from the pits.

BARRETT-JACKSON LAS VEGAS: Before the Truck Series takes the green flag about 20 miles down the road at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, cars of all kinds will be the focus at this year’s Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Collector Car Event and “no reserve” auction from the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. SPEED has expanded its live broadcast of Barrett-Jackson to 22 hours, beginning Thursday, Sept. 23 at 4 p.m. ET with seven hours of coverage.

Anchoring the broadcast are Bob Varsha, the Voice of Formula One on SPEED, and Matt Stone, the Senior Editor of Motor Trend and Editor of Motor Trend Classics magazines. On the auction block, car enthusiast and Voice of NASCAR on FOX, Mike Joy, is joined by leading muscle car expert and freelance writer, Steve Magnante. Barrett-Jackson veteran Rick DeBruhl and former professional racer and car nut, Justin Bell, provide auction color and fantasy bid previews.

SPEED’s live coverage from Barrett-Jackson continues Friday from 4-11 p.m. ET and Saturday from 2-9:30 p.m. ET, leading directly into the network’s live coverage of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race from Las Vegas. Former Truck Series champions Ron Hornaday and Mike Skinner will attend Barrett-Jackson Friday prior to heading over to the race track, and a feature on their adventures will air during SPEED’s Truck Series broadcast Saturday evening.
