“I think everybody is excited to start the season with live video from one of the premier tracks in the country,” RacinBoys Co-Founder Scott Traylor said. “We will continue to air live audio broadcasts from the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour events throughout the season, but it’s nice to be able to offer video to the fans who can’t make the trip to Arizona.”

Defending Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour champion Jason Johnson swept the four Cocopah Cup Challenge races last season to score a $5,000 bonus. Tune in on Friday to see if your favorite driver can unseat Johnson.
