TOPEKA, Kan. (Sept. 3, 2015) — A professional team of well-known motorsports broadcasters will man the microphones for the SCCA National Championship Runoffs Presented by Garmin VIRB, Sept. 25-27, at Daytona International Speedway. Veteran broadcasters Rick Benjamin, Greg Creamer, Jeff Lepper and Dorsey Schroeder will call play by play live on SCCA.com for each of the 28 races over three days, with Heyward Wagner returning to report the goings on in pit lane.
Each Runoffs race is a winner-take-all, 14-lap sprint race for an SCCA National Championship following four days of qualifying. The SCCA.com coverage begins just before 9 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 25, with the GT-2 class opening the weekend. Ten races, concluding with Spec Miata at 7:30 p.m. (EDT) as the feature of Friday Night Lights presented by Mazda, will run on Friday, with nine each on Saturday and Sunday.
For the first time, Wagner and Lepper will co-host a wrap up show on each day of qualifying, live from Daytona, on SCCA.com. The show will recap the day’s activities as well as find interesting characters and storylines. The show will be recorded each night about 6:00 p.m. and uploaded to SCCA.com, soon thereafter.
“The SCCA Runoffs presented by Garmin VIRB is the best possible weekend to attend as a race fan, with 28 races in three days, but the next best thing is to watch it live from home,” Reece White, SCCA Sr. Manager of Marketing and Communications, said. “Once again, for three consecutive days, our amateur National Championship event will have a professional broadcast hosted by Rick, Greg, Jeff, Dorsey and Heyward to showcase some of the best racing to be seen, at any level.”
Production for the weekend races will, once again, be provided by SpeedCastTV.
