SPEED Channel announced that Fox Sports Net personality Leeann Tweeden will join the cast of NASCAR Nation, serving as one of three new studio hosts beginning June 27 at 7:00pm/et/pt. Leeann is the perfect person to bridge the worlds of NASCAR and entertainment,” said Chris Long, SPEED Channel VP of Studio Production. “NASCAR Nation is designed to explore the sport as a growing segment of pop culture, and Leeann is equally comfortable at the race track and the red carpet.” Tweeden, who also will continue her position as the “Best Damn Insider” on FSN’s Best Damn Sports Show Period, began her career in front of the camera as a model, moving to the small screen with hosting and correspondence duties on such shows as Fox Sports Net’s 54321, Bluetorch and High Octane, FX’s Toughman, ESPN’s Fitness Beach and E!’ Entertainment’s Wild On.(Speed Channel)(6-2-2005)
