MOTORCYCLE RIDERS RADIO NETWORK

The Big Guy with NASCAR driver Kyle Petty

Marty Francis – Executive Producer

Marty Francis may not have been born in Florida, but he is definitely a native Floridian, having spent only his first seven years in the Boston area. Those of you who are familiar with central Florida way back when, know that the roads were built for motorcycles � and Marty started riding them while still in school. His first �bike� was a Yamaha 125cc, borrowed from a close friend and that started his love affair with the machine. Next, he graduated to a 350cc, and it kept growing from there.

His love for the sport of racing was also growing, living and growing up in the shadow of Daytona � the legendary track for NASCAR. He attended the races every chance he got.

Motorcycle Riders Radio Network began in September of 2001 with �The Big Guy� (Marty) at the helm on 740 The Team�Orlando�s Sports Leader. The show airs every Sunday morning from 8:00-9:30 a.m.

Never forgetting the other side of his love for motor sports, he decided to develop a show dedicated to Racing � NASCAR and Formula One�anything auto related will be fair game as topics for the show, now known as �Racing Radio.� Rather than host, he has opted to Executive Produce the show allowing others to deal with the on-air talent. Racing Radio now airs from 9:30-11:00 a.m. every Sunday on 740 The Team.
