New Sirius NASCAR radio show
Newspaper columnist David Poole and NASCAR broadcaster Marty Snider will host a daily talk show, The Morning Drive, on Sirius satellite radio starting Jan. 1.
The Morning Drive is scheduled to air every weekday morning from 4 a.m. to 8 a.m. exclusively on NASCAR Radio channel 128, the new year-round channel for NASCAR coverage.
"We're thrilled to have Marty and David, two of the most experienced and knowledgeable figures in NASCAR, kick off our daily programming lineup on Sirius NASCAR Radio," said Steve Cohen, SIRIUS' Vice President of Sports Programming. "With SIRIUS, listeners across the country will have exclusive access to the insights and opinions of NASCAR experts like these and they'll be able to call in to the show to discuss the topics that are relevant to the fans. Programming like this will make Sirius NASCAR Radio a must-have for NASCAR fans."
Poole has covered NASCAR for the Charlotte Observer in North Carolina for the past 10 years and is a regular contributor to ThatsRacing.com. Poole is also the author of several books on NASCAR, including "Race with Destiny: The Race That Changed NASCAR Forever" and "Tim Richmond: The Fast Life and Remarkable Times of NASCAR's Top Gun."
Snider started his career covering NASCAR at Turner Sports in 1998 as a pit reporter for their TNT broadcasts and a year later joined NBC's NASCAR broadcast team. From 1995 to 2000 he worked as a pit reporter for the Motor Racing Network's (MRN) NASCAR broadcasts.
He is also a regular contributor to NASCAR.COM and NBCSports.com as a NASCAR Insider.
Snider was CNNSI's NASCAR reporter from 1998 to 2002. From 1994 to 1997 he worked as a reporter and producer for ESPN's "NASCAR Today."
In addition to the live race broadcast, Sirius will take fans into the cars and pits by devoting up to 10 additional "Team Talk" channels that will carry driver-to-crew communications during NASCAR Nextel Cup Series races. SIRIUS will combine the race broadcast with the driver-to-crew chatter on these channels, allowing fans to follow the overall race call and the in-car audio of a driver on a single channel throughout the race.
