World Racing Group and Racing Electronics Announce "Scanner Up" Program
World Racing Group will expand its partnership with Racing Electronics in 2016 to bring fans even closer to the racing action at World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series, World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series and Super DIRTcar Series events.
Starting at the 45th Annual DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla., fans will be able to listen directly to driver receiver communication, race control and the announcers for all three series, Johnny Gibson, Shane Andrews, Matt Prieur and Rick Eschelman.
Fans will be able to purchase Racing Electronics scanner and headphone packages at World of Outlaws and Super DIRTcar Series events by visiting the series merchandise trailers as well as Racing Electronics' trackside vendors at select events. For those interested in purchasing new scanner and headphone packages online, visit www.RacingElectronics.com and use the promotional code "ILoveDirtRacing" at checkout to receive a discount.
"Racing Electronics has been an outstanding partner over the years," said Tom Deery, World Racing Group's chief operations officer. "By offering the "Scanner Up" program at our races, it will allow fans of all ages the opportunity to experience events from all sides - the on-track action, the race play-by-play and the behind-the-scenes race control. It is a fantastic addition to our events. We are excited to launch it at DIRTcar Nationals."
Racing Electronics offers a variety of scanner and headphone packages for all price ranges. The "Scanner Up" program can be utilized on all Racing Electronics scanners. To accompany the scanners, Racing Electronics also offers noise reducing headphones that allow fans to tune into broadcasts while still being able to experience the action on the track.
"Racing Electronics is extremely proud of our long-term partnership with WRG and look forward to many more years to come," said Kevin Hughes, Director of Motorsports Communications Services at Racing Electronics. "We are always looking at opportunities to better engage the fan and the opportunity to provide this new service will greatly enhance their at-track experience."
