NORWALK, Ohio -- HorsePower TV, produced by RTM Productions for TNN (The Nashville Network), unveiled the newest element created for and added to America’s most watched automotive television series, - HorsePower TV’s "Race Of The Week". Every Saturday and Sunday, nearly a million and a half viewers join hosts Chuck Hanson and Joe Elmore as they tackle fascinating how-to-projects for fans at all levels of interest. During the 2000 season, fans will also be treated to the best in grass roots drag racing, including IHRA’s Pro Outlaw (formerly Super Eliminator) and Holley Sportsman classes. HorsePower TV’s "Race Of The Week" is a celebration of real world warriors who battle on America’s drag strips. These are hard-core competitors who buy the parts, build the cars and motorcycles and race them in exciting events from coast to coast. After searching for the best, HorsePower TV has teamed up with the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) to provide the most amazing array of drag racing in the country.

"Presented like only HorsePower TV can, our goal is to present a fast-paced, action-packed "capsule" of IHRA drag racing highlights," stated HorsePower TV host, Joe Elmore. "Along with insights into the drivers and the machines they build, the "Race Of The Week" will thrill each and every viewer."

"I’m pleased that HorsePower TV is allowing IHRA to give our Pro Outlaw and Holley Sportsman Racers a television presence," said IHRA President, Bill Bader. "The show gives us another vehicle to promote our sport on TNN, the new home for IHRA Drag Racing in 2000."

Traveling to all eleven IHRA National Events, HorsePower TV will feature the Pro Outlaw class (formerly Super Eliminator) and the eight Holley Sportsman classes.
