Frankly I don't get why any radio station would broadcast car racing audio. Car racing is a visual sport. Take for example the ten car pileup at the Daytona 500. How do you emphasize how bad that was, on the radio? The missing picture devoids all meaning.

Maybe not today, but "back in the day" MRN was the only way for folks to get live coverage of every NASCAR race and it helped launch the careers of most of today's NASCAR broadcasters. Mike Joy, Alan Bestwick, Mike Massaro, and Marty Snider have all worked for MRN at one time or another, as have former TV personalities Eli Gold, Ken Squier, and Ned Jarrett. Given the limitations of the medium they have to work with, the MRN crew is quite good at their job.

CBS would air white noise for an hour if you paid them enough. And the price for that is probably lower than you think.
