Meet Johnny Swaybar Sinclair, one of our Race Weekend TV reporters

Born: No one's really sure, some say he's a tale as old as time
Hometown: Orange Beach, Alabama
Career Accolades: Nationally Ranked Hot Dog Eater, Scored a perfect 2400 on his SAT,
Four-Time Broadcasting Rookie of the Year,
Former Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show Commentator

He's both the Snap and Crackle to Larry's Pop. Johnny "Swaybar" Sinclair may be new to the broadcast game, but being adorned by millions is the role he was born to play. Not much is known about the off-screen life of Race Weekend TV's colorful personality- but race fans have a fever, and the only prescription is more Swaybar.

Meet Larry Mitchell, one of RIR's race weekend hosts

Born: June 15, 1958
Hometown: Columbus, Ohio
Career Accolades: 732 Credit Score, 2008 Dominion Par 3 Champion,
2012 Richmond Chili Cook-Off Winner,
Coached the 1998 Mechanicsville Huskies to the VA Little League World Series

They call him "Cool-Hand Larry," because he's always calm and collected behind the mic. There's not a situation he can't handle, a story he can't report on accurately and impartially, or a dad joke he doesn't have in his repotoire. Larry Mitchell brings a level of stability and professionalism to the broadcast rarely seen in the likes of Race Weekend TV reporters.

Five things from today's state of the sport address

The 2016 NASCAR season has officially hit the ground running today with the announcement of several big changes set to debut this year. Let’s take a look:

1. THE CHASE IS COMING

...to the XFINITY and Camping World Truck Series, that is.

2. PLAYOFFS?! TALK TO ME ABOUT THE PLAYOFFS

Twelve and eight drivers will qualify for the XFINITY Series and Camping World Truck Series playoff system, respectively. Two three-race elimination rounds will cut the field to four before the final round at Homestead-Miami for all three Series.

3. TICK-TOCK CLOCK 

A Caution Clock will count down to twenty minutes after the green flag drops in the Camping World Truck Series. A caution will be called when time runs out, unless a caution has already taken place.

4. DASH 4 CASH, MEET TOYOTACARE 250 

The 2016 NASCAR XFINITY Series Dash 4 Cash race schedule taps Bristol, Richmond, Dover, and Indy – in that order.

5. TURN UP THE HEAT(s) 

The Dash 4 Cash program is moving to a new format made up of two heat races, followed by a main event.

Families and NASCAR go hand in hand. Traditions with grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, that kooky cousin of yours, and friends are in the sport's DNA. Traditions that can be passed on to future fans, so they too can feel the rush of excitement when their favorite driver take the checkered flag.

We're in the tradition business here at RIR, and as we bring back the tradition of Sunday afternoon racing we're hoping it can rekindle some of your own. Come sit in the grandstands with kids and watch them smile as they see their driver heroes in person for the first time. As they experience something new and awesome, you'll be able to relive the memories created with your parents when you came to RIR back in the day.

Forty years of day racing took place at RIR, yet there's so many who've never witnessed such an event at America's Premier Short Track. That's all about to change. Now you can come see all the stars of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series as they take to the track for the first scheduled day race at RIR since 1997.

Experience thrills in every turn drivers fight their way to the front of the pack, feel the hair on the back of your neck stiffen as the cars roar past, smell the rubber burning as they come racing out of the pits.

Come out and create a new tradition this April at RIR. Witness all the excitement and make lifelong memories with your family. You don’t want to miss this!
