The World Racing Group (OTCBB: DMSP) is pleased to announce respected motorsports broadcasters Dave Despain and Dr. Dick Berggren will join the World of Outlaws World Finals broadcast team on SPEED.

The live three-hour event at 8 p.m. Eastern/5 p.m. Pacific on Saturday, Nov. 3, is the championship-deciding season finale for the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. Despain, host of Wind Tunnel and Inside Nextel Cup on SPEED, will be the host of the World Finals, with Berggren, the editor of Speedway Illustrated, providing color commentary when dirt late models are competing.

Im very excited about this opportunity because Im a huge fan of dirt track racing, Despain said. On their own, both series offer great racing at the highest levels of the sport. Now, to put them together on the same night, at the same track and running together will make it an almost perfect event.

Joining Berggren in the booth will be World of Outlaws Late Model Series play-by-play broadcaster Shane Andrews with Sarah Jane Hunt gathering behind-the-scenes stories from the late model pit area.

Bobby Gerould and National Sprint Car Hall-of-Famer Brad Doty will call the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series action with Sean Buckley providing the scoop from the sprint car pit area.

This will be a unique event, said SPEED coordinating producer Pete Richards. It should be intense because we should see a very diverse audience, as there are staunch supporters for both sprint car and dirt late model racing. I think it will be an outstanding way to end the World of Outlaws season.
