ESPN2 will feature NASCAR Busch Series racing live Saturday, June 2, from the Monster Mile, Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del. The telecast begins with NASCAR Countdown at 2:30 p.m. ET, and the 200-mile race starts at 3 p.m. Since 1969, the 1-mile Dover track has challenged NASCAR drivers with high-banked turns and straightaways that also feature banking. Dover is physically demanding for drivers and hard on racing equipment, and the concrete racing surface presents its own unique challenges. ESPNs Suzy Kolber will make her debut as host of NASCAR Countdown at Dover, joined in the ESPN Pit Studio by analyst Brad Daugherty. Tim Brewer will be at the ESPN Chevy Cutaway Car. Dr. Jerry Punch will be the lead announcer for the race telecast, with Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree in the ESPN booth for analysis. Jarrett is filling in for ESPNs lead auto racing analyst, Rusty Wallace, who will rejoin NASCAR coverage next week at Nashville. Allen Bestwick, Dave Burns, Jamie Little and Mike Massaro will serve as pit reporters. In addition to the telecast on ESPN2, ESPNs signature broadband service, ESPN360.com, will deliver a live online simulcast of the event, and a Spanish-language version of the race will be televised on ESPN Deportes, ESPNs domestic Spanish-language network.(ESPN PR)(5-28-2007)
