NASCAR on KKGO radio
NASCAR fans can listen to the Daytona 500, the Nextel Cup Series race at California Speedway and the entire Cup season on KKGO 1120-AM in Los Angeles and XSUR 540-AM in San Diego, the Motor Racing Network announced Friday.
KKGO and XSUR will carry live coverage of 25 MRN Radio produced Cup Series events. The stations will also broadcast MRN’s daily news program “NASCAR Today,” and “Monday Morning Race Refresher,” a weekly wrap-up of the weekend’s race activities.
“The addition of 1260 and 540 AM in Southern California is a significant addition to our line-up of over 700 radio stations nationwide,” said MRN Radio president David Hyatt. “This is a great partnership with California Speedway, the West Coast’s premier motorsports and entertainment venue, which allows NASCAR fans of Southern California to enjoy the races throughout the season.”

Their award-winning play-by-play coverage of the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, NASCAR Busch Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is delivered via satellite to more than 700 radio stations nationwide plus the American Forces Radio Network.
