Bexel Broadcast Services has built a custom mobile edit trailer for NASCAR.com for on-site, non-linear editing and news gathering needs for the 2008 NASCAR season. Produced and operated by Turner Sports Interactive, NASCAR.com delivers racing fans with continuous news, statistics, entertaining lifestyle stories and streaming video via the ever-popular NASCAR.com website.

In order to provide its fans with the latest information from the track, NASCAR.com needed an operation at each race that would allow them to expeditiously take footage and make it available to the internet in the most seamless manner possible. Bexel custom built a 30’ edit trailer solution with an on-board Avid editing system, HD/SD screening stations, the ability to accommodate multiple incoming HD/SD feeds from anywhere within the television compound or racetrack as well as office space for Production and Technical Mangers. The Bexel trailer enables the NASCAR.com production crew to independently create content without relying on the on-site broadcasting network (Fox, TNT, ESPN or Speed Channel) for technical facilities and manpower.

“NASCAR fans want the latest news available from the track each week and they count on NASCAR.com to be that definitive source”, says Brie Johnston, Production Manager for NASCAR.com. “With the self-contained confines of the Bexel edit trailer, we have enabled our production team the ability to quickly take news and human interest stories as it happens and deliver to the internet before any one else “ either as a pre-produced package or a live stream”.

The Bexel Edit trailer will cover 30+ NASCAR races this season for NASCAR.com and will traverse the country multiple times logging over 35,000
