During the third segment of the night, the group will welcome ARCA’s Public Relations Director Don Radebaugh who will give his superior insight on the 56th season of competition for the ARCA RE/MAX Series as well as his thoughts on ARCA’s return to Daytona. After Radebaugh, Chris Knight will chime in on the latest news and rumors presented by Race City Steel.

In the final segment the ARCA Thunder crew will kick off the 2008 Pick’em challenge presented by OfficeDepotRacing.com. Also on tap is the “Watercooler” topic which the group will predict what the big topic will be from Daytona.

“Just like the swallows return to Capistrano, ARCA racing returns to Daytona to kick off 2008 and the ARCA Thunder Crew is here to mix it all up again! I look forward to kicking everyone's backside again this year in the Pick'em segment and all I can say is "bring help" to those who think they'll do me in this year! A great show planned for February 5 with the guy with the golden voice, Rick Allen, joining us for the Speedtv.com Hot Seat. And to keep us honest, Don Radebaugh goes "Around the Track" with us! Don't miss this one,” sounded Race Talk Radio’s Lori Munro.
