Alright, folks, gather ’round, ’cause today I’m gonna tell you about my little adventure trying to catch the NASCAR race on the radio. Now, I ain’t the most tech-savvy guy out there, but I sure do love me some racing, and sometimes you just gotta tune in the old-fashioned way, you know?
So, first thing I did was grab my trusty old radio. It’s one of those classic ones with the dials and the antenna that you gotta extend just right. I dusted it off, plugged it in, and started fiddling with the dial. I remembered hearing something about the race being on a couple of different stations, so I started my search.
I started by twisting the dial over to the FM side and started searching around. I spun that dial around and around, stopping every now and then to listen for a few seconds. Static, some pop music, a preacher talking a mile a minute… nothing about racing. Finally, I heard the familiar roar of engines and the excited voice of an announcer, I hit the jackpot on FM 102.9! The reception was a bit fuzzy, so I adjusted the antenna, moved the radio around a bit, and finally got it clear as a bell.
- Tried FM 102.9 – Success!
But I didn’t stop there. I remembered that some local stations also broadcast the race, so I switched over to AM and started scanning again. I knew there was an AM 1130 WBF that sometimes carried sports, so I tuned in there. And wouldn’t you know it, I found it again! The sound quality wasn’t as good as FM, but it was definitely the race.
- Switched to AM.
- Checked AM 1130 WBF – Got it, but the quality was just okay.
After that, I recalled some online service about this program, SiriusXM or something, so I decided to give it a shot. I searched on my phone and figured out it was some channel 90. It mentioned I need to register an account to listen to it, I signed in and found it, but you know what? I still prefer the old radio.
- Found SiriusXM.
- It’s channel 90.
- Sign in first, then got it.
So there you have it. I managed to find the NASCAR race on the radio, both on FM and AM, and even that SiriusXM. It just goes to show that sometimes the old ways are still the best. And hey, there’s just something special about listening to a race on the radio, isn’t there? It’s like you’re right there at the track, feeling the energy and excitement. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go grab a cold one and enjoy the rest of the race.
Later that day, I heard someone say something about streaming online too, like “*” or something. Seems I have one more way to try next time.
My takeaways for today:
- FM 102.9 – Best quality, my top choice.
- AM 1130 WBF – It works, but not as clear.
- SiriusXM channel 90 – convenient for online listening if you have an account.
- Maybe some streaming sites like * – going to try this out next time.
