Organization
Most of the crew that calls the 500 calls the IRL series and Crown Royal 400 as well. For the Firestone Twin 275's and Super Weekend at the Brickyard's Nationwide and Sprint Cup races, the Speedway Motorsports-owned Performance Racing Network joins the Indianapolis Motor Speedway radio network for co-production the races. For MRN or PRN stations to carry Super Weekend at the Brickyard (the IMS NASCAR weekend), radio stations must carry the Indianapolis 500 and three other IZOD IndyCar Series races (typically they will be Birmingham, Texas, and Edmonton, which are on non-NASCAR Sundays, or Saturdays) the MotoGP Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix may be carried in lieu of the third race), or may pay a fee to the Speedway; most will carry the four races, typically on non-NASCAR Sundays.
The Super Weekend broadcast arrangement is different because of the PRN co-production. Doug Rice is the lead broadcaster in the Bombardier Pagoda, with John Andretti as driver analyst. Jerry Baker, Jake Query, and Mark Jaynes remain in their turn positions, while Mike King is located in Turn 4. Kevin Lee is the only IMS pit reporter assigned, as PRN's Bret McMillan, Pat Patterson, and Brad Gillie work pit road. Donald Davidson is the track historian.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“... every woman’s organization recognizes that reformers are far more common than feminists, that the passion to look after your fellow man, and especially woman, to do good to her in your way is far more common than the desire to put into every one’s hand the power to look after themselves.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
