Breakfast At The Brickyard
Live 5 Hour Internet Broadcast


Typically, the Indianapolis 500 auto race only takes about 3 hours to 
complete. So why does Indianapolis TV station WRTV-Ch.6 broadcast an annual 
five hour pre-race show? Because there's so much more to the Indy 500 than 
just watching the cars speed around the 2.5 mile oval. And for the third 
year in a row, The Auto Channel is proud to provide exclusive Internet 
coverage of the entire "Breakfast at the Brickyard" television show.

"Breakfast at the Brickyard" features in-depth interviews with virtually 
all of the significant participants in the greatest spectacle in racing: 
drivers, team owners, crew chiefs, and Indy Racing League association 
personnel. In addition, the five hour show reviews all of the qualifying 
events and behind-the-scene activities leading up to the race. There's also 
historical highlights from previous years, as well as a look at this year's 
other IRL races and current standings.

The Auto Channel's Terry Callahan will be on location at the Indianapolis 
Motor Speedway during the two weeks leading up to the main event, and, as 
always, Terry will be filing incisive reports accompanied by his unique 
photographic renderings. The 5 hour broadcast will begin at 7AM EDT on 
Sunday, May 30th, and ends just before the start of the race (which is 
carried live on the ABC television network).
