NWMT: NBC Announce Broadcast Schedule, Adds Ray Evernham and Ralph Sheheen

NBC Sports Group announced Wednesday the addition of former crew chief Ray Evernham and broadcaster Ralph Sheheen to its broadcasting lineup. Evernham and Sheheen will be featured during NBC’s coverage of the NASCAR Whelen Modified and Southern Whelen Modified Tour events.

The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour was one of the very first sanctioned NASCAR events on the sandy beaches of Daytona in 1948. The modifieds were given their very-own brand of racing in 1985, thus marking the 30th-Anniversary season of the series. With such history behind the series, this will be one special year of racing.

The pairing between Evernham and Sheheen will begin at the Thompson Speedway Motor Sports park on Saturday, April 18 at 12:30 a.m. Et. on NBCSN. See below for a complete telecast schedule.

“I grew up watching and racing modifieds and still get goose bumps every time I watch them race,” said Evernham in a press release. “I am really looking forward to being part of NBCSN’s motorsports coverage.”

“Big power, open wheels and passionate fans—the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tours might be the coolest series in racing,” said Sheheen in a press release.  “Ray and I are going to have a lot of fun calling these races.”
