NASCAR RaceDay is a pre-race show on Speed Channel. Hosted by John M. Roberts, the show features driver–analysts Kenny Wallace and Kyle Petty, as well as pit reporter Wendy Venturini, who provide news from the track right before each weekend's race. Hermie Sadler came on board in 2008. Roberts, Wallace and Petty along with Bob Dillner are also part of the post-race show NASCAR Victory Lane. During the six TNT Summer Series races (Heluva Good! 400 until the LifeLock.com 400), Darrell Waltrip stands in for Petty, who is the analyst for the TNT races. (Waltrip's schedule will be based around his speaking engagements.)
The show replaced the canceled NASCAR 2Day, that had aired on ESPN until the end of the 2000 racing season when NASCAR began a new television contract. The original name of the show was NASCAR This Morning, and it aired on Fox Sports Net from 2001 to 2004 from a studio in Charlotte, North Carolina. During the 2004 Chase for the Nextel Cup, some segments were broadcast from the site of that week's race with Steve Byrnes serving as co-host. In 2005, the program was moved to Speed Channel and the entire broadcast was sent to the race site. The show became NASCAR RaceDay in 2006.
