SPEED adds two NASCAR programs to its lineup

SPEED adds two NASCAR programs to its lineup, beginning this weekend.

NASCAR in a Hurry, a 30-minute weekly program hosted by Adam Alexander and a number of rotating SPEED on-air personalities, premieres at 11a.m. ET Sunday from Atlanta Motor Speedway. It will recap the weekend's early highlights from the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Craftsman Truck series, in addition to clips from various NASCAR on SPEED programs.

NASCAR in a Hurry will air immediately prior to NASCAR RaceDay on Sundays, while NASCAR Confidential currently is scheduled as a six-episode series with its March 23 premiere focusing on what it took to put together the historic 50th running of the Daytona 500.

For the pilot, NASCAR Confidential cameras followed T. Taylor Warren, the photographer who has chronicled in photos every Daytona 500; DeLana Harvick, wife of 2007 Daytona 500 winner Kevin Harvick; Jay Howard, president of JHE, the company in charge of pre-race entertainment; and Ryan Newman, 2008 Daytona 500 champion.

NASCAR Confidential premieres at 8 p.m. ET on March 23, offering a new twist on the behind-the-scenes genre. Instead of focusing on at-track competition, teams or drivers, the program will tell a unique and untold story on a variety of subjects through the eyes of several participants. It will be a one-hour, highly-produced narrative covering a 24-hour period.
