Beginning this weekend, Motorcycle Hall of Famer Scott Russell will take the role of lead motorcycle road racing analyst for SPEED. Russell replaces fellow Hall-of-Famer Freddie Spencer, whose multiple European scheduling conflicts led to the move. “We are thrilled to have someone of Scott’s caliber on the SPEED team and we appreciate Freddie’s years of service to the network and look forward to working with him again in the future when schedules allow,” said Rick Miner, SPEED SVP Production & Network Operations. Russell, known as “Mr. Daytona” after winning the Daytona 200 five times, was the 1992 AMA Superbike champion and the 1993 World Superbike champion.
