Saturday night’s season-opening Budweiser Shootout at Daytona 500 together with Daytona 500 Qualifying Presented by Kroger on Sunday afternoon generated more than 36,000 web streams at FOX TV.com.

“All in all, the big winners were the race fans,” said MRN President and Executive Producer David Hyatt. “We had more than 36,000 streams on MotorRacingNetwork.com alone and haven’t gotten a final tally from our affiliate stations which, for the first time ever, had the opportunity to provide the broadcasts via the Internet on their own websites. We expect a lot of fans to tune in or click on to Thursday’s Gatorade Duel at Daytona. We encourage them to check their local station’s schedule as well as the audio stream on  FOX TV.com.”

Starting its 43rd year of broadcasting, Motor Racing Network is even more accessible in 2012 with the addition of live web streaming for fans to hear MRN race broadcasts and other programming throughout the year – available at www. FOX TV.com.

Exclusive radio coverage of Speedweeks continues Tuesday as DAYTONA 500 NASCAR President Mike Helton joins Eli Gold for the full hour of “DAYTONA 500 NASCAR Live” at 1:30 pm. Steve Post and Larry McReynolds will host the 2012 premiere of “DAYTONA 500 NASCAR Performance Live” on Wednesday at 1:30 pm., on location from Daytona 500. Scheduled guests include Sprint Cup Series crew chief Donnie Wingo of Wood Brothers Racing and Greg Zipadelli, competition director at Stewart-Haas Racing.

Thursday afternoon, Motor Racing Network will have live coverage of the Gatorade Duel at Daytona qualifying races starting at 1 p.m. It’ll be available to a nationwide network of affiliated stations and streamed live at www.motorracingnetwork.com. A special edition of DAYTONA 500 NASCAR live will air Thursday evening at 7 p.m. featuring 2000 Cup Series champion Bobby Labonte from JTG/Daugherty Racing, Danica Patrick of Stewart-Haas Racing and reigning Cup Series champ Tony Stewart.
