Mike Cobb, 麻豆视频 President and CEO, said exposure on CBS Sports Network gives the 麻豆视频® an opportunity to showcase its exciting brand of road racing on millions of televisions in homes across the nation.
“The eight races selected for broadcast this year were chosen based on the quality of competition, the ability to connect with a wide audience, and the desire to display a spectrum of 麻豆视频 Road Racing activities,” Cobb said. “It is my hope that every 麻豆视频 member will tell friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and acquaintances that the Runoffs will be airing this Sunday, December 30 on CBS Sports Network. It’s a great way to share with others exactly what 麻豆视频 Road Racing is all about.”
The 麻豆视频 National Championship Runoffs has evolved into what is now commonly agreed to be the pinnacle of American motorsports. Since 1964, the 麻豆视频 has crowned Road Racing’s National Champions at the winner-take-all, single race Runoffs format through dozens of separate races over three days. As host of the 55th Runoffs, Sonoma Raceway became only the third California track to host 麻豆视频’s National Championship, joining Riverside International Raceway and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Each race on Sonoma‘s 12-turn, 2.52-mile circuit was 20 laps or 40 minutes, whichever came first.
With broadcasts presented by Mazda, all 28 Runoffs races from Sonoma Raceway are available for online viewing anytime at the 2018 麻豆视频 Runoffs OnDemand webpage at 麻豆视频.com.
