Sirius is now the Official Satellite Radio Partner of NASCAR and, starting Jan. 1, features a new 24/7 year-round radio channel dedicated to the sport.

Featuring specialized programming that will be heard exclusively on Sirius, Channel 128 will provide the most comprehensive, in-depth radio coverage of NASCAR, with live coverage of NASCAR races and a lineup of exclusive talk shows hosted by two-time Cup champion Tony Stewart, The Charlotte Observer beat reporter and columnist David Poole, broadcasters Marty Snider, Matt Yocum and John Kernan, and other current and former drivers.

Sirius is now the exclusive satellite radio home of every Nextel Cup, Busch and Craftsman Truck series race, carrying the live broadcasts of Motor Racing Network (MRN), Performance Racing Network (PRN) and the IMS Radio Network's broadcast from Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

In addition to the live race broadcast, Sirius will take fans into the cars and pits by devoting up to 10 additional channels that will carry driver-to-crew communications during Cup Series races. Sirius will combine the race broadcast with the driver-to-crew chatter on these channels, allowing fans to hear the overall race call and the in-car audio of a driver on a single channel throughout the race.

The lineup currently includes:

• The Morning Drive, hosted by Poole and Snider (every weekday, 7-11 a.m. ET).

• The Driver's Seat, hosted by Kernan with a roster of current and former drivers including Hall of Famer Buddy Baker, Johnny Benson, Randy LaJoie, Ron Hornaday, Ricky Craven, Phil Parsons, and John Andretti (every weekday, 11a.m - 3 p.m. ET).

• Tony Stewart Live, hosted by Stewart and Yocum (Tuesdays, 8-10 p.m. ET).

All NASCAR content is provided to Sirius customers at no additional cost over Sirius' monthly subscription fee. For more information visit www.Sirius.com.
