XM Satellite Radio will launch NASCAR Radio 2, providing complementary
coverage to its current NASCAR Radio stream (144), beginning this Saturday, September 4. The new channel (145) will monitor in-car communications between drivers and their teams via FanScan, technology provided by Atlanta-based Sportscom.

The new channel will debut at this weekend's Busch Series race at California Speedway and will be available for the remainder of this year's Nextel Cup, Busch Series and Craftsman Truck Series races. It will be available for all races in 2005.
