Cumulus Meida announces that 890 WLS-AM Chicago has signed a three-year deal with the Motor Racing Network, the voice of MASCAR, to air the NASCAR Cup Series beginning in 2023.
The announcement comes on the heels of the news that the City of Chicago has signed a three-year deal with NASCAR as the home of the first-ever Chicago Street Race. The unprecedented 12-turn, 2.2-mile Chicago Street Race will take the Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series past and through many of Chicago’s most renowned downtown landmarks during Fourth of July Weekend, July 1-2, 2023.
“We are so excited to partner with WLS-AM to deliver the excitement of NASCAR’s 75th season to race fans across the Chicago metro,” said Chris Schwartz, President of Motor Racing Network. “And, as we look ahead to next summer, the first-ever street race in NASCAR’s history will take place on Chicago’s city streets. This event will be like nothing we’ve ever seen and is sure to be a highlight of the 2023 season!”
Motor Racing Network, now in its 53rd year of broadcasting, is a wholly owned subsidiary of NASCAR (The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) and is the primary source for NASCAR stock car racing and related radio programming.
NASCAR is the sanctioning body for the No. 1 form of motorsports in the United States and owner of 16 of the nation’s major motorsports entertainment facilities.
