“Skinner
Round-Up” Hosted by Mike and Angie Skinner Adopts New Format for
2016
SiriusXM
NASCAR Radio show features new segments and new guests in 2016
HUNTERSVILLE,
N.C. (January 13, 2016) –
Renewed for a second season, “Skinner Round-Up” on SiriusXM
NASCAR Radio has adopted a new format for 2016. Adding a new NASCAR
Throwback segment, the show will continue to incorporate some of the
same great segments and content that listeners grew accustomed to
during the show’s first year. Hosted by former NASCAR Camping World
Truck Series champion Mike Skinner and his wife Angie Skinner, a
longtime SiriusXM Radio personality, the three-hour show airs every
Sunday there is not a Sprint Cup Series race.
“Angie
and I have had so much fun with ‘Skinner Round-Up’ over the last
year, we’re excited to be back on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio in 2016 and
to expand the show with a new segment,” said Mike Skinner. “We
had NASCAR veteran Mark Martin on the show back in December and we
were laughing together while sharing stories, and it just hit Angie
and me—why weren’t we doing this every week? That’s really how
the NASCAR Throwback segment came to be. The show gives us a chance
to connect with our friends in the garage and celebrities from all
different industries, while also sharing our passion for NASCAR with
race fans around the globe. We’re very lucky to be a part of it.”
New
to the “Skinner Round-Up” lineup in 2016 is the weekly NASCAR
Throwback segment. Bringing NASCAR champions, veteran drivers and
industry leaders back on the airwaves, this segment will allow guests
to share their behind-the-scenes stories from the NASCAR garage,
while also sharing a laugh with the listeners.
In
addition, “Skinner Round-Up” will continue to feature many of its
traditional segments that listeners tuned in for last year. Mike
Skinner will continue his weekly technical analysis with a segment
titled Skinner’s Garage presented by WIX Filters. The segment will
allow social media users to tweet in their tech questions for Skinner
to address on the air, and will also incorporate guest callers from
the NASCAR industry throughout the year. NASCAR Outdoors presented by
Bad Boy Buggies and E-Z-GO will continue to incorporate a special
guest to talk about their outdoor interests and hobbies through this
weekly lifestyle segment. Throughout the show’s first season,
guests included everyone from NASCAR drivers and team owners, to
professional hunters, fishers and more. Likewise,
the Celebrity Drive-By presented by Cessna will continue to bring
celebrity guests from outside the NASCAR industry to the show, while
continuing to feature some of the hottest names from both Hollywood
and Nashville.
“Mike
and I are so grateful to remain a part of the SiriusXM NASCAR
family,” said Angie Skinner. “I can’t tell you how much fun
it’s been to work on ‘Skinner Round-Up.’ We really enjoy having
a show that allows us to discuss everything that’s going on within
the NASCAR industry, and then to connect with fans and professionals
from within the sport on a regular basis throughout the year. We’re
so excited for the Throwback segment this year that will enable us to
reconnect with old friends, and hopefully share all the stories that
we couldn’t share before! We have such great partners in WIX
Filters, Bad Boy Buggies, E-Z-GO, Cessna, Justin Boots and Maui Jim.
Mike and I can’t thank them enough for their continued support,
which lets us keep having fun on the air!”
The
Skinners will continue to interact with listeners through social
media. #SkinnerSocial topics will allow fans to weigh in on a
question posed by the couple with the top responses shared on the
air. Likewise, listeners are encouraged to interact with the Skinners
on social media, using Facebook (/SkinnerRoundUp), Twitter
