Pro Mods On TV! The X-DRL Signs TV Deal With Velocity By Discovery

With the infant X-treme Drag Racing League gearing up for its’ first season to begin shortly, the announcement that the X-DRL will be teaming up with Velocity for national television coverage is a tremendous one.

“We are extremely excited to have the X-DRL on Velocity and to have a multi-year agreement with a television partner that fully supports the X-DRL and its talented drivers,” X-DRL President Jeff Mitchell said.

“To have a major television partner in our first year is a huge thrill and a tremendous indicator of the work we have put in to make the X-DRL a success. Velocity expressed a great interest in supporting the X-DRL and the drivers who will make each event so memorable. The action-packed nature of the X-DRL will fit in perfectly with the great programming that Velocity provides as well.”

Velocity by Discovery, which was established in the latter part of 2011, is an  upscale male lifestyle network. Episodes for the X-DRL portion of the network programming will feature race coverage, recaps, and interviews as the inaugural 2013 season unfolds. The X-DRL show will be televised on Sunday’s with re-runs two more times during the week. This is good news for the fans that will be unable to be in attendance at any of the stops on the opening season race schedule or for those that just want to relive the moment.

“This is an ideal first step for the X-DRL and our relationship with Velocity is only going to continue to grow, and that’s something that has us very excited,” X-DRL Account Manager Keith Goolsby said.

“Television has been a huge part in the growth of the X-DRL, which makes Velocity and Masters Entertainment Group tremendously important to the X-DRL. This is an incredible television platform and will be a great outlet to showcase all of the outstanding drivers who will compete in the X-DRL in 2013.”
