NASCAR’s first nationally-syndicated television show, NASCAR Angels, is hitting the road for a second season of helping deserving people in need of a transportation fix. The first episode of the second season aired last weekend. Rusty Wallace and co-host Shannon Wiseman of NASCAR.com are back to lead the NASCAR Angels as they hit the road each week with new stories to tell and lives to change. In cities across the country, people struggle every day to get to work, take the kids to school or make it to a doctor’s appointment because they cannot keep the family car moving. The transportation so many of us simply take for granted becomes a huge hurdle for these folks. NASCAR has the resources and desire to help and NASCAR Angels is the vehicle that does just that. Reaching 85% of the nation’s viewing audience, NASCAR Angels can be seen on weekends on more than 200 local television stations, including top ABC-owned stations in New York and Los Angeles. In its first year, 45 million total viewers tuned in to see stories of families touched by the NASCAR Angels. NASCAR Angels is shot on location in major race markets and features top NASCAR drivers and crew chiefs giving deserving families the chance to go behind-the-scenes to meet their heroes, and get an up-close-and-personal glimpse into the NASCAR experience. Goodyear Gemini, a national repair service provider, is the presenting sponsor of the show. Back in the shop, with the help of Goodyear Gemini Technicians and the automotive products of NASCAR Performance partners, NASCAR Angels work under a deadline to complete each repair before the race begins that weekend. The show educates viewers on the importance of regular vehicle maintenance. Season two will feature 22 all-new episodes (and 30 repeats) as the NASCAR Angels travel to the sites of NASCAR races in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Dallas, Daytona Beach, Miami, Indianapolis, Michigan, Phoenix, New Hampshire, Las Vegas and Charlotte.(NASCAR PR)(9-28-2007)
