'Race Hub' hits the road for 'hometown tour'

NASCAR Race Hub, SPEED's nightly news and information program, hits the road next week and takes up residence in four Sprint Cup Series shops, taking advantage of the network's central location in "NASCAR country."

SPEED truly is in the hub of NASCAR in its Charlotte, N.C., studios, just minutes from the majority of race teams. This centricity has enabled the network to welcome numerous drivers and key team members to its NASCAR Race Hub studio throughout the season, and now the show turns the tables to pay a visit to its neighbors.

Next week's programs will include reports from the campuses of Joe Gibbs Racing, Roush Fenway Racing, Penske Racing and Hendrick Motorsports, including exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes access with key team personnel. Randy Pemberton, Danielle Trotta and Wendy Venturini will report from the various race shops while John Roberts, Krista Voda and Rick Allen anchor the coverage from SPEED's headquarters.

NASCAR Race Hub airs at 7 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday:

• Aug. 9 -- Joe Gibbs Racing; hosted by John Roberts
• Aug. 10 -- Roush Fenway Racing; hosted by Krista Voda
• Aug. 11 -- Penske Racing; hosted by Krista Voda
• Aug. 12 -- Hendrick Motorsports; hosted by Rick Allen

NASCAR Race Hub returns to the SPEED studio on Aug. 16 to a newly-redesigned set.
