KNOXVILLE, IA (July 18) -  The IMCA Harris Clash, featuring IMCA Modifieds, will again be broadcast live over the Internet. This year, it has found a new home thanks to www.RaceTalkLive.com . The free audio only broadcast is slated for Thursday, July 19, 2007 at 7:00 PM-CST.

The Harris Clash entry list so far includes over sixty drivers coming from eight states. Some of the best modified drivers will be in the pit area at the famed Knoxville Raceway. If you are not able to attend the race, then listen for free on www.RaceTalkLive.com .

There is more than driver pride on the line for the win. The highest finishing chassis builder that participates will win the Harris Clash Chassis Manufacturers Cup. They will also have bragging rights for a year.

“We were expecting to do the broadcast on another network,” stated co-host Bucky Doren. “They had hired Chris Marchese and myself to be the hosts for their show. They had to pull the plug pretty late in the game, so that meant no broadcast for the fans.

The original schedule called for a pay-per-view event that featured audio and video. A last minute situation forced that company to have to drop the Harris Clash from their schedule.

“Bob Harris (Harris Clash promoter) and I talked it over, and if we could find a way to get it broadcasted, we were going to do it for the fans,” added Doren. “Chuck Hall told me that he was in the middle of redesigning of the RaceTalkLive.com studios. He said wires were everywhere, be he would burn the midnight oil to get it done in time for ‘The Clash.’ Hall deserves a big thank you.”

“Special thanks needs to go to Pat Fagen and Fast Shafts ( www.fastshafts.com  ) as well,” offered Bob Harris. “They are helping put this last minute rescue to a happy ending for the fans. Thanks to their financial support, the broadcast will take place. They came on board to help with the cost of the broadcast, and they are also the trophy sponsor and a product sponsor. The winner in both divisions will receive a brand new custom driveshaft form Fast Shafts.”

Three Wide Media ( www.threewidemedia.com ), publishers of Dirt Late Model Magazine and the all "NEW" Dirt Modified Magazine have donated a special new Dirt Modified Magazine jacket and a one year’s subscription of the Dirt Modified Magazine to the A Feature winner. This new magazine will cover Modified racing to its very best, and that first issue is slated to be available in September.

Tune in Thursday, July 19th to www.RaceTalkLive.com  starting at 7:00 PM-CST for all of the play-by-play action with Bucky Doren and Chris Marchese. The IMCA SportMod feature (the event’s support class) will also be included in the free radio web cast.
