NASCAR Announces 2011 Developmental Series Programming On SPEED

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (April 15, 2011) - NASCAR announced Friday programming
for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series and NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour on SPEED.
The broadcast calendar includes 24 events for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series,
NASCAR's top developmental series, which consists of series championships in
the East and West. The races will air on Thursdays at 6 p.m., beginning
April 21 with the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West season-opener from Phoenix
International Raceway, which was run on Feb, 24. The NASCAR K&N Pro Series
East opener from Greenville (S.C.) Pickens Speedway - run Saturday, April
2 - will air on April 28.

In addition, SPEED will broadcast live the NASCAR Whelen Modified
Tour/NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour combination race at Bristol Motor
Speedway on Wednesday, Aug. 24, and the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race at
New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 24.

The NASCAR K&N Pro Series schedule also includes the annual combination
event at Iowa Speedway, which will be held on May 21 and air on June 2.

"The NASCAR K&N Pro Series and NASCAR Whelen Modified Tours feature some of
the top up-and-coming talent in the sport competing alongside the top
veterans who are synonymous with these series," said George Silbermann,
NASCAR managing director of racing operations. "SPEED's coverage of the
series provides a great platform to showcase these drivers."

SPEED, in conjunction with NASCAR Media Group, will air each NASCAR K&N Pro
Series tape-delayed race as a one-hour show. SPEED, with its popular and
wide-ranging coverage of NASCAR, is the nation's first and only cable
