SPEED, the definitive network for motorsports and the automotive lifestyle, will once again provide extensive coverage from this year’s Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Event and ‘no reserve’ auction from the Americraft Expo Center at the South Florida Fairgrounds in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Starting Today, Thursday, April 9, the network will begin its 22 hours of both live and same-day delayed, high-definition coverage at Noon, E.T. On Saturday, April 11, eight hours of live coverage starts at 11 am, ET.

Familiar faces will be calling the event, as Bob Varsha, the ‘Voice of Formula One on SPEED,’ is set to provide play-by-play with long-time Motor Trend Executive Editor Matt Stone offering color commentary. On the auction block, Mike Joy, long-time collector and the ‘Voice of NASCAR on FOX,’ joins former Hot Rod Magazine technical editor Steve Magnante. Perusing the
auction tents and flavoring the event will be SPEED and Barrett-Jackson regular Rick DeBruhl.

“Coming off such great results in Scottsdale (Ariz.) both for SPEED and Barrett-Jackson, we can only anticipate three solid days and many quality cars,” said Rick Miner, SPEED SVP of Studio Production & Operations. “In this marketplace, who doesn’t want an asset you can put your hands on and doesn’t disappear?”

As always, the Barrett-Jackson ‘no reserve’ auction line up is an extensive one, including Lot #655 and Lot #655.1, two of Ford’s 2004 Mustang Concepts that debuted during Detroit’s North American International Auto Show in January of 2003. Jimmie Johnson’s Pocono and Las Vegas-winning No. 48 entry will also be auctioned off to benefit Levine’s Children Hospital of Charlotte, N.C. through the Hendrick Foundation for Children.
