2020 wrap up

 

2020 did not go as planned for Speed Talk on 1360, the pandemic and social distancing rules made it difficult to do at track interviews and even for our hosts to be in the same studio together.  We did do one special Daytona 500 broadcast on Facebook that you can see here Daytona 500 2020 Special

Many race events were cancelled but it also opened up the opportunity to visit some new or seldom visited venues.  Here is the story Jason submitted to the Midwest racing connection on this interesting race season.

After 10 years on KRWC radio the future is uncertain for Speed Talk on 1360, Jason and Dean have both been part of the racing media for 30 years and that will continue, don't count us out.  Thank you to our long time sponsors and supporters, I hope that you enjoyed it half as much as we did.   One thing is for sure we will hope to "See you at the Track." - Jason and Dean-o
