New Television Series "NASCAR Angels" to Premiere in 95% of the U.S. Week of Sept. 18
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Aug. 8, 2006) – The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR), in partnership with MagicDust Television, will launch “NASCAR Angels” this fall with the first episode airing the week of Sept. 18 on local stations nationwide.

Hosted by former NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Champion and current ABC/ESPN broadcaster Rusty Wallace and NASCAR.com reporter Shannon Wiseman, “NASCAR Angels” will hit the road each week with a different NASCAR driver and the Angel Automotive Technicians to help families and communities with their transportation needs. The new half-hour, weekly syndicated television series, which is presented by Goodyear Gemini Automotive Care, will shoot 22 original episodes on location in major NASCAR race markets. The show will feature top NASCAR drivers and crew chiefs giving deserving families the chance to go behind-the-scenes to meet their heroes and get an up-close-and-personal glimpse into the NASCAR experience while their car is fixed.

Distributed by Litton Entertainment, “NASCAR Angels” is scheduled to debut across more than 95 percent of the country including ABC-owned stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston as well as WSB (ABC) in Atlanta, and many more highly-respected broadcast stations. Superstation WGN will also be carrying “NASCAR Angels” as a one-hour block set for Sundays Noon-1:00 p.m. E.T.

“On ‘NASCAR Angels’, you’ll meet people dedicated to helping others who could use a helping hand themselves,” said Phil Alvidrez, MagicDust Television’s general manager. “They struggle every day to get to work, take the kids to school or make it to a doctor’s appointment because they can’t keep the family car moving. ‘NASCAR Angels’ is a television show that will change those lives.”

Current NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series drivers including Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle and Jamie McMurray will appear on the program. Crew chiefs such as Doug Richert, Greg Zipadelli and Tommy Baldwin Jr., will participate as well.

The original 22 episodes, which the number one rated stations in seven of the top-10 markets have agreed to carry, will be shot in Orlando/Daytona Beach, Chicago, Los Angeles, Charlotte, Dallas, Phoenix, Atlanta and Philadelphia.

I wonder if there's a way to find out if your area will carry the show.

I'm trying to figure that out too. Cuase ABC.com is saying its not even a show

I'm so glad he will be on there......kudos to Kasey for doing another awesome thing :) :clap

WHOO!

can't wait for that! and yeah i can't find anything on what station its on either.

you may have to check your local ABC station's website or just search for the show's name and see what pops up

I wonder if its gonna be in on tv in canada too :unsure:

I hope I get it too!

won't that interfere with some of the races?? :unsure:

^^^ Thats what I was thinking

I hope that it will be on my ABC

I'm thinking WGN will only be carrying the reruns, so it doesn't really matter if it interferes with the race if you've already seen it. :)
