Race 2 Win Radio Fans’ ‘Best Bet’ to Preview NASCAR’s Las Vegas Weekend
Taylors, SC, February 24, 2010 – It’s the third race of the still-young NASCAR season and Race 2 Win Radio will bring fans all the fanfare of racing in Las Vegas this Thursday, February 25, 1-3 PM ET. Show host Jeff Holtzclaw will moderate the exciting two-hour internet radio show that includes guests and commentators straight from the NASCAR garage and media center.

A total of four drivers will participate in Race 2 Win’s program this week, including regular 1-2 PM co-host Tim George Jr., a Richard Childress Racing Development Driver in the ARCA RE/MAX Series. Additional drivers on air this week are Nelson Piquet Jr., Colin Braun, and Casey Roderick. Piquet Jr., competing part-time in the ARCA and Camping World Truck Series this season, was scheduled to call the show last week, but had to reschedule due to unforeseen circumstances.

Colin Braun is competing full-time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series this year, driving the No. 16 car for Roush Fenway Racing. He qualified ninth for the season-opening NNS race at Daytona and posted a top-20 finish last weekend in Fontana. In 2008 and 2009, Braun competed full-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, earning Rookie of the Year honors in 2008.

Casey Roderick, a rookie in the ARCA RE/MAX Series in 2010, ran one ARCA race last year at age 16 as a Bill Elliott Racing Development Driver. Competing at the famed Rockingham racetrack, he qualified third and finished second. Now 17, Roderick will begin his ARCA rookie season this weekend in the Tire Kingdom 150 on the road course of Palm Beach International Raceway.

Also appearing on Race2Win Radio this week will be NASCAR team member Mike Calinoff and writer Jeff Gluck. Calinoff, spotter for Sprint Cup Series driver Matt Kenseth, will provide his ‘Keys to Winning’ on the 1.5-mile D-shaped Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Jeff Gluck, who covers NASCAR for SBNation.com, will share up-to-date information straight from the garage, along with compelling opinions in the ‘Writer’s Block’ segment.
