MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Dec. 16, 2009) – Fans interested in Thursday’s JR Motorsports media event featuring Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kelley Earnhardt, Danica Patrick, and other key team personalities will have multiple broadcasting options to choose from, as live coverage will be provided by SPEED, SIRIUS | XM Radio, and GoDaddy.com, respectively. All three broadcasts will start immediately at 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT.

SPEED will interrupt regularly scheduled programming to provide live television coverage with host Bob Dillner. SPEED’s coverage kicks off a weekend full of Danica Patrick, as Robin Miller will report live from Daytona International Speedway during the three-day ARCA (Automobile Racing Club of America) test session Dec. 18-20.

JR Motorsports team partner Go Daddy, which sponsors the No. 7 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet that Patrick will drive in a partial NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule in 2010 and 2011, will carry the press conference live via webstream. Fans can log onto www.GoDaddy.com/Danica to access the free Internet stream.

For satellite radio listeners, SIRIUS | XM will carry the entire press conference live followed by three hours of discussion and analysis from the JR Motorsports team shop during “Dialed In” with Claire B. Lang. SIRIUS NASCAR Radio can be found on SIRIUS channel 128 and also on XM channel 128 with “The Best of SIRIUS” package.

Other key participants in Thursday’s media event will be co-owner and crew chief Tony Eury Jr., director of competition and crew chief Tony Eury Sr., and driver of the No. 88 Hellmann’s Chevrolet, Kelly Bires. Those three will join the Earnhardts and Danica Patrick in a 45-minute question-and-answer session with the media. Fans, too, will be able to participate, as 20 JR Nation fan club members were randomly selected from registration forms to receive invites to Thursday’s event. They will have the opportunity to ask questions of the JRM featured panel as well.

“To be able to attract this much attention to our facility around the Christmas holiday is especially rewarding, because we feel our company has a lot to offer the race community as well as corporate America,” said Kelley Earnhardt, co-owner and general manager of JR Motorsports. “We appreciate what SPEED, GoDaddy.com, and SIRIUS | XM Radio is doing to bring JR Motorsports to the fans, and we appreciate the NASCAR media for its coverage of our company. We feel like our 2010 line-up with Danica Patrick and Kelly Bires is unique, and we simply want to bring all the key players together to talk about it. We all are looking forward to it.”
