24/6 NASCAR news on this...

TruckSeries.com - NASCAR.COM, the premier online destination for NASCAR fans, announced today the launch of NASCAR 24/7, a broadband video service created to enhance the way racing fans get their news online. The daily newscasts, updated weekday afternoons and 90 seconds in length, will be a free service on the site and will provide users instant access to live interviews, highlights, alerts and breaking news of the day.

Shannon Wiseman, current host of the website’s NEXTEL TrackPass Race Rewind segment will anchor the daily newscast from NASCAR.COM’s CNN Center studio in Atlanta. Wiseman, a 2-time Miss Winston on the NASCAR circuit and former MTV video-jockey, was formerly a co-host of UPN’s Atlanta Tonight.

“As a leading site for NASCAR information, NASCAR 24/7 creates an added dimension of information for racing fans in a fast-paced, exclusive and convenient package,” said Lenny Daniels, Sr. Vice President, Turner Sports New Media. “This is the type of content we would look to franchise for multiple digital platforms.”

Along with viewing online, NASCAR 24/7 will be available as featured content through NASCAR.COM TO GO, a subscription-based mobile service that gives subscribers access to view and share a variety of real-time NASCAR content via their wireless devices.

Each newscast will be presented by a participating sponsor, including All-State and Target, on a rotational basis. Additional sponsors to be announced at a later date.

This... is Shannon Wiseman

Shannon Wiseman is a former short-term girlfriend of NASCAR Nextel Cup driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. 

Junior, along with the entire MTV generation, was introduced to Shannon on the "Wannabe a VJ3" contest in the spring of 2000--she was runner up.  At Jr.'s request, a mutual friend personally introduced him to the University of North Carolina Charlotte student and he asked her out.  She declined.

But in October of 2000, Junior co-hosted a local radio show at WEND (106.5), where Shannon was an intern.  The show's host, Kristen Honeycutt, asked Jr. on air if he knew her. "Oh yeah! I know her, and I even asked her out, but she told me she had a boyfriend¹," he answered.  Shannon called in during the next commercial break and told Kristen he just hadn't tried hard enough.  So, he tried harder and the two dated for a brief period.

In 2001, Shannon was a member of the Charlotte Hornets' dance team, the Honeybees.  Then, in 2002, while modeling for Marilyn's Inc., she applied to become Miss Winston.  Shannon was selected and served in that position from 2002-2003, taking over where Cielo Garcia left off. She went on to be an anchor/reporter on WCCB-TV for various shows, including "Fox News Edge" and  UPN69's "Atlanta Tonight."

Currently, you can catch Shannon on Speed TV's "NASCAR Angels" and following every race on NASCAR.com's Post Race Show presented by Jack Daniel's.

Shannon is the daughter of Douglas and Pamela Wiseman of Dallas, N.C.  She currently resides in Atlanta, Ga.  She turns 27 this month.
