NASCAR Channel (SPEED) adds yet another show

The NASCAR Channel, oops we mean SPEED, is adding a one-hour NASCAR Champions Week special Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. ET. Hosted by John Roberts and Shannon Spake, the special will include features from the week's activities in New York City and interviews on the yellow carpet — everything leading up to the crowning of the new NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series champion.

"As the home to NASCAR TV, we will continue to find ways of elevating the sport's biggest events," said Hunter Nickell, SPEED Channel Executive VP and General Manager. "We are going to take all the energy from last week in South Florida and carry it right through next week in New York. The fans wait all season for these events and we don't plan on letting them down."

Vicki Johnson, Craig Reynolds and NASCAR.com's Marty Smith will be reporting from New York.
