  from Daytona Bike Week beginning March 7 with the AMA Genuine Suzuki

  "In keeping with the Florida launch of the racing season, SPEED Channel   
  has maintained a major presence in the Sunshine State since arriving for  
  NASCAR testing in January," said Rick Miner, SPEED's Sr. VP Programming & 
  Production and Executive Producer. "After covering the NASCAR test        
  sessions at Daytona, we moved right into 16 hours of live coverage from   
  the Rolex 24 and stayed through Speed Weeks with more than 60 hours of    
  programming. I've been in Florida so much lately, I'm starting to like    
  the early bird specials. "                                                
                                                                            
  SPEED Channel's Bike Week coverage will continue March 7 with 3 p.m. ET   
  live coverage from Daytona with SPEED Channel on-air personalities Greg   
  White, Brian Drebber, Ralph Sheheen and David Sadowski. After a look at   
  Bike Week 2003, the cameras will return to the track for live coverage of 
  the Pro Honda Oils U.S. Supersport 600 at 4 p.m. ET.                      
                                                                            
  Daytona Supercross by Honda will take center stage on March 8 with two    
  hours of Prime Time coverage beginning at 7:30 p.m. SPEED Channel also    
  will be at Daytona's Municipal Stadium to record AMA Flat Track racing    
  for broadcast March 11.                                                   
                                                                            
  On March 9, the MBNA 250 Grand Prix gets underway at 10 a.m., followed by

  12:30 p.m. ET.                                                            
                                                                            
  "I've been riding motorcycles for 25 years," Miner said. "So, even prior  
  to coming to work at SPEED Channel, Bike Week was the high point of my    
  year. Now I'm getting the opportunity to get inside the action through    
  SPEED's coverage -- it really doesn't get any better than this."          
                                                                            
  In addition to all the SPEED Channel programming from Daytona, the        
  fastest growing sports cable network in the country also provided live    
  qualifying and race day coverage from the St. Petersburg Grand Prix. And  
  following Bike Week, the SPEED Channel production team will continue its  
  extended Spring Break, heading south for live coverage from the 12 Hours  
  of Sebring.
