FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - A total of six Star Mazda Series races will be broadcast on espn2, according to series promoter Gary Rodrigues. In addition, the Valvoline Runoffs debut of the Formula Mazda class will also feature coverage by Speedvision. The six espn2 races include repeat dates.

"We had such a great response from our televised races last year that espn2 renewed our package for 1998," said Rodrigues. "Our combination of oval and road races really lends itself to some exciting broadcasts." Racing commentator Rick DeBruhl will again host the espn2 Star Mazda broadcasts.
