Kurt Busch will take an ESPN film crew around his hometown of Las Vegas this week. “It won’t be what you might think,” says ESPN feature producer, Jeremy Louwerse. “You probably won’t see a single clip of The Strip or what Las Vegas is most famous for. Our intent is to go back and take a look at Kurt’s roots – the neighborhood where the 2004 NASCAR champ grew up, his high school, his favorite fast food joint – all the local color he experienced growing up in Las Vegas before making it big time in racing.” The feature is set to first air on Friday morning’s popular ESPN2 program, Cold Pizza. The two-hour, weekday morning show airs live from New York City between 10 a.m. -12 noon. The program is hosted by Jay Crawford and Dana Jacobson.(Tom Roberts PR)(3-9-2006)
