TNT's coverage continues with racing from Loudon

TNT continues its exclusive coverage of the Cup Series from Loudon, N.H., on Sunday, June 28 live from New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The network will air the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 beginning at 2 p.m. ET with play-by-play announcer Bill Weber calling the race alongside analysts Kyle Petty and Wally Dallenbach in the booth. In addition, analyst Larry McReynolds will make frequent contributions from the infield as he breaks down crew strategy and analyzes car adjustments.

The network will rev up its pre-race coverage beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET with NASCAR on TNT Live! with Marc Fein (host), Petty and McReynolds. Kurt Busch will join TNT's infield rig for an interview prior to the race.

TNT's acclaimed Pride of NASCAR series will feature legendary NASCAR owners the Wood Brothers who hold one of the longest and richest legacies in the sport, developing great drivers such as Junior Johnson, Dan Gurney, Donnie Allison, Buddy Baker, Cale Yarborough, Dale Jarrett, David Pearson, Michael Waltrip, Elliott Sadler and TNT's Kyle Petty. In 1976, the Wood Brothers won the coveted 'Triple Crown' of NASCAR with wins at the Daytona 500, World 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.

NASCAR on TNT Live! will be followed by Countdown to Green at 1:30 p.m. ET with Weber (host), Dallenbach (analyst), Petty (analyst) and reports from pit reporters Marty Snider, Matt Yocum, Ralph Sheheen and Lindsay Czarniak.

During Countdown to Green, Sheheen will have an exclusive interview with Jimmie Johnson to talk about a shared history between the two of them. Johnson began his career in off road racing and Sheheen was part of the broadcasting crew that covered the sport, including Johnson's teenage years. Johnson speaks about the impact of off road racing on his NASCAR career as well as his motivation to continue to succeed in Cup Series racing.

Also, an interview with veteran crew chief Greg Zipadelli and his rookie driver Joey Logano will air during the pre-race show.

Countdown to Green leads into coverage of Cup Series racing from NHMS at 2 p.m. ET with Weber, Dallenbach and Petty calling the action with frequent interaction with McReynolds (analyst) who will man the TNT Offtrack Robotic Car.

Throughout this year's NASCAR on TNT Summer Series, the network will join forces with NASCAR.COM, the official site of NASCAR, to provide TNT RaceBuddy a multiplatform experience for race fans which features live feeds from the race track including pit road and in-car cameras, as well as live chats and polls.
