'NASCAR Race Hub' set to debut Oct. 12 on SPEED

With set construction nearly complete in the new 78,000-square-foot, Charlotte-based HD studios, NASCAR Race Hub is set to premiere at 7:30 p.m. ET on Oct. 12 on SPEED.

With a variety of hosts and personalities set to take their turn at the wheel, Krista Voda and Adam Alexander will handle Monday's opener with special guest Richard Petty, who many consider a lock to be one of five inaugural members of the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

On Tuesday night, NASCAR Race Hub will welcome four voting members from the panel selecting the inaugural Hall of Fame class, including Ken Squier, Doug Rice, Mike Joy and Rick Allen. The Hub will lead into a night at the movies on SPEED, with special airings of the feature films Dale (8 p.m. ET) and The Ride of Their Lives (10 p.m. ET).

On Wednesday, SPEED is dedicating the lion's share of its programming lineup to the NASCAR Hall of Fame Voting Day, with live coverage of the official results carried at 4 p.m. ET.

SPEED also will offer live streaming coverage of the announcement on SPEEDtv.com and NASCAR.COM.
