TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold to Exclusively Air DAYTONA 200 Motorcycle Race At DAYTONA Road Course
TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold announced today it will air the DAYTONA 200 motorcycle race at the DAYTONA Road Course live at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday, March 13 exclusively on the streaming platform’s Progressive American Flat Track Pass. The event kicks off a doubleheader of motorcycle racing on TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold that is capped off by the Progressive American Flat Track Race at the Volusia Half-Mile at 7 p.m. ET.
Sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and operated by the American Sportbike Racing Association (ASRA), the 57-lap, 200-mile race showcases 600cc sportbikes at DAYTONA International Speedway’s famed 3.51-mile road course.
Four-time DAYTONA 200 champion Danny Eslick will attempt to become the third five-race winner in the history of the event, while Kyle Wyman will try to defend his 2019 victory. The 2020 race was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s event features a stacked field bolstered by international racers flocking to Daytona since several European contests have been cancelled due to COVID-19. Notably, 19-race Isle of Man TT winner Michael Dunlop of Ireland heads stateside to test his talents at The World Center of Racing.
The DAYTONA 200 is available to TrackPass users with either the Progressive American Flat Track pass ($1.99/month) or the TrackPass: All Access pass ($4.99), which includes all live events from Progressive American Flat Track, ARCA Menards Series, NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, NASCAR Pinty’s Series and IMSA.
After the DAYTONA 200, TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold transitions from two-wheel road course action to motorcycle dirt racing for the Progressive American Flat Track contest at the Volusia Half-Mile. It marks the second Progressive AFT race of 2021, following Friday’s season opener at the Volusia Half-Mile (also 7 p.m. ET).
Brian Baumann starts the season in the hunt for his third straight Progressive AFT Championship.

2019 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series Champion Loris Hezemans will not only chase a second European title in 2021. The Dutchman will also return to the NASCAR Xfinity Series driving the #13 Hezeberg Systems Camaro for the Reaume Brothers Racing team.
The 23-year-old will race on the 1-mile Phoenix Raceway on March 13 and on the 1.5-mile Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 29, 2021. The Call 811 Before You Dig 200 presented by Arizona 811 at Phoenix will mark Hezemans’ oval racing debut in the NASCAR Xfinity Series after the six-time NWES race winner finished 22nd at Road America in his first outing.
“I am very excited to announce that I will be joining Reaume Brothers Racing for the Nascar Xfinity Series at Phoenix on March 13th,” said Hezemans. “My number one priority for this race weekend is to bring the car home and gain as much experience as possible. Without any practice or qualifying the learning curve will be a big step but I am fully up for the challenge. With this experience in Phoenix I hope to continue to progress through the different size oval tracks throughout the year”.
While the Dutchman and his partners are at work to expand the American campaign, the clear goal for the first two races is to accumulate miles and experience to obtain NASCAR’s approval to compete in the NASCAR Cup Series in the future.
The Reaume Brothers Racing team made their entrance into the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2018. In June 2020, they took over the operations of the RSS Racing No. 93 in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and retained those duties for the remainder of the season. In 2021, the team competes in NASCAR with three of its own cars, two in the NCWTS and one in the NXS.
The Call 811 Before You Dig 200 presented by Arizona 811 at Phoenix Raceway will be run on Saturday, March 13. The green flag will wave at around 23:30 CET.

Competing in both Restricted and Stock Non-Wing, Rueschenberg will look to steer his #26 Driven Performance chassis to the top throughout the busy year.

Major events on the calendar include the 22nd Annual Micro Sprint Nationals at Oklahoma’s I-44 Riverside Speedway and the High Banks Hustle at Southern Illinois Raceway in June, the Mark Hagopian Memorial in September in California, and October’s Cal Cup and Turkey Bowl in California.
His NOW600 races will be streamed live on RacinBoys.com while FastFourMedia.com will be on hand for many of the major Micro races across the country as well. His asphalt Late Model races on May 22, June 26, and September 18 at Madera Speedway are streamed live on YouTube then tape-delayed to MAVTV.
Primary support on the #26 car for JPU Racing comes from TACT CLEAN INC and Decon 7. Rueschenberg is also supported by Arciterra Real Estate and Development, Radical Race Gear, MB2 Industries, and Arizona’s Best Garage Door.

"Journey of the Fan" Experience Takes Guests through Safety Protocols Ahead of Pennzoil 400 Presented by Jiffy Lube Race Weekend
Before gates open to race fans for this weekend’s Pennzoil 400 Presented by Jiffy Lube at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, officials welcomed a select group of fans to experience the new safety protocols that will be in place in response to the ongoing pandemic.
Las Vegas Motor Speedway President Chris Powell lead the “Journey of the Fan” event, which underscored efforts in place including the mandatory use of face coverings, health screenings, social distancing, frequent hand sanitization and protocols ranging from digital tickets to cashless purchases.
“We’re incredibly excited to allow race fans back to our tripleheader NASCAR race weekend and want to make sure we’re doing so as safely as possible,” Powell said. “We believe the plans we have put in place address all health and safety guidelines, and we look forward to fans coming out to the speedway to enjoy a fun weekend of NASCAR racing with friends and family.”
During the media walk-through, fans were taken through a simulated race-day check-in and souvenir purchase before being shown to their socially distanced seats. The Journey of the Fan also included a visit to a suite loge, which demonstrated Alsco’s Clean Shield disinfectant service, which is a proven way to effectively reduce the spread of viruses.
“We are very excited to be back at the speedway for all three races this weekend,” said Las Vegas resident Jodi Collins, who took part in the Journey of the Fan. “We will miss being in the Neon Garage and the pits and things like that but at least we’re back. I feel safe and know they’re sanitizing, checking everyone’s temperatures and have social distancing plus we’re outside, so I know that NASCAR and the speedway are prepared.”
This weekend’s Pennzoil 400 Presented by Jiffy Lube race weekend which kicks off with the Bucked Up 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on Friday as well as the Alsco Uniforms 300 Xfinty Series race on Saturday will be the largest fan-attended sporting events in Nevada since the pandemic began. All three events are sold out.
