May 22 2004--RACING NUTS' NO. 1 SHOW MOVES TO THE FAN
South Florida’s new leader in sports entertainment WFLL Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
If you love auto racing, the new 1400 The Fan sports radio station that begins transmitting May 3 will have your fix.
Husband-and-wife team Steve and Lisa Christensen, better known as "The Racing Nuts," will broadcast their highly-rated show Track Talk every Tuesday night from 6-8 p.m. and will also host The Racing Nuts Show every Friday night live from HOOTERS in Pembroke Pines,Fla. From 6 to 8pm.Listen live on the web at www.1400thefan.com.
"We love racing and are totally, totally off the wall," Steve says. "We don't rehearse anything we do. It's a fast-paced show that is all the latest news on what is happening that week. We blast through it and make fun of it and put a spin on most everything we do. We have a lot of drivers that call our show, and when they call they just have a blast with it. It's a spin on a normal type of show."
1400 The Fan General Manager Carl Foster has been a big fan of the racing nuts for the past few years. “Steve and Lisa Christensen are dedicated motorsports enthusiasts that bring a passion for talking about everything from NASCAR to Funny Cars and all the racing in between,” said 1400 The Fan General Manager Carl Foster. “They have built a dedicated following of South Florida motorsports fans that listen, participate in on air contests and join them live on location each week to talk motorsports. Their shows will provide race previews and coverage of the nation's fastest growing spectator sport. It will be South Florida 's only local live motorsports show that gives the fans interaction with drivers and top guests from the racing world.”
The Racing Nuts will have in-studio help from Paul McGill, Donald Economy, Gary Mitchison and Jeff "The Claw" Healy. "Paul is the guy I can ask who won Daytona in 1962 and he'll tell me," Steve says. "Donald is my comic relief. He's just a lunatic and he's the biggest Jeff Gordon fan you've ever seen in your life. Healy is my stunt man, I strap him into a car and he jumps a ramp with the best. Gary is on the Tuesday night show, he's my NHRA specialist."
The show covers six different series of motor sports - NHRA (National Hot Rod Association), the Indy Racing League, the CART Racing Series and all three series of NASCAR. "We get the winner of the Busch series and the Craftsman Truck series every week and we're one of only five shows across America that get that," Steve says. "If they win in Kentucky on Saturday night, they'll probably be on the show Sunday. It's a current show. We also do local racing, the Hialeah Speedway and Moroso Motorsports Park ."
Steve learned racing from a young age, working at the Hialeah Speedway from age 12. "I worked on race cars," he says. "I grew up around racing and that's my thing." The Racing Nuts are excited to be joining 1400 The Fan. "I'm very excited about the new radio station," Steve said. "We have a unique style that's fun and energetic and fast-paced, and this station is perfect for that. I'm very excited about the new station because it has a lot of people on the air that a lot of talent."
1400 The Fan is owned by Foster Sports, Inc., a subsidiary of Care Concepts I, Inc. (Amex: IBD) and its wholly-owned subsidiary iBid America, Inc. The station can be reached at 954-960-1400.
