LOS ANGELES – FOX Sports today launches SPEED WITH HARVICK AND BUXTON, a new digital show built in partnership with NASCAR to serve as a familiar touchstone for everything motorsports, bringing fans closer to the people and institutions that shape racing across the world. From NASCAR and INDYCAR to ARCA, NHRA, MotoGP, IMSA, F1, sprint car racing and beyond, the show reflects how modern fans follow the sport without boundaries.
The twice weekly series is hosted by Will Buxton, FOX INDYCAR play-by-play announcer, veteran F1 broadcaster and voice of the award-winning series Drive to Survive, with Kevin Harvick, FOX NASCAR analyst, 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion, 2007 DAYTONA 500 winner and future NASCAR Hall of Famer, serving as analyst. The show revives the popular SPEED brand — a renowned 24-hour motorsports cable channel owned by FOX Sports that operated from 1995 to 2013 — in a format built for today’s fan.
“Motorsports has never been a one-lane road — it’s a global passion with so many disciplines and stories to tell,” Harvick said. “Will and I have lived racing from completely different sides of the track. Now we’re bringing it all together — NASCAR, INDYCAR, F1, sprint cars, dirt racing — you name it. SPEED is about connecting fans everywhere to the heart of racing and giving them a place where every form of motorsport has a voice.”
“I’m thrilled to launch this new show with Kevin and bring the SPEED name and brand back to people’s televisions,” Buxton said. “Having started my TV career at SPEED in 2010, I know the emotional connection it has across America, the personalities and memories it evokes and the responsibility we have to do right by its legacy. This show, like the station to which it pays tribute, has two things at its heart – racing and race fans. Our show exists to give both a platform.”
SPEED is fueled by POET, the world’s largest producer of biofuels and the official bioethanol partner of NASCAR.
