Concord, NC - In an effort to fill the void of postponed races in the wake of COVID-19, the Performance Racing Network (PRN) will run classic races in place of their previously scheduled programming starting March 29th.
With NASCAR and many other major league sports on hiatus while the world works to limit the spread of coronavirus, PRN along with the Motor Racing Network (MRN), have pledged to offer fans and affiliate stations classic race broadcasts.
"We wanted to offer fans a way to escape the pressures surrounding them and give them the opportunity to enjoy some classic racing calls. I think we've picked races that will bring back some great memories," said Doug Rice, president of PRN.
Fans can tune-in on many of PRN's local affiliate radio stations, the free PRN mobile app, and GoPRN.com.
