DRIVER HERMIE SADLER TO FILL ALEXANDER’S ROLE
IN NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES PITS
“This is going to revolutionize the weekend programming on the network,” said Patti Wheeler, SPEED EVP of Programming & Production. “If you are a fan of almost any kind of racing, we will have all the latest news and information for you in real-time with our amped-up Ticker and in our many live SPEED Center reports throughout the weekend. Instead of simply offering a weekend racing roundup Sunday evening, SPEED will be the go-to source for breaking news and updates from race tracks and paddocks around the world all weekend long.”
The newly named SPEED Center is a series of studio-based motor sports news programs airing live from a purpose-built set at the SPEED Studios in Charlotte, N.C. Programs air at a variety of times during the race weekend, culminating in a one-hour show on Sunday nights at 7 p.m. ET. The first Sunday night show premieres Feb. 13.
Adam Alexander, a longtime pit reporter for SPEED’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series coverage and spot host of NASCAR Race Hub and The SPEED Report, takes the role of lead host for SPEED Center, with racer Hermie Sadler filling Alexander’s position on pit road. Sadler continues to serve in his primary role as a reporter for NASCAR RaceDay and NASCAR Live!
