Bobby Likis Car Clinic: Largest Car-Talk Network on Broadcast Radio & Multi-Media
What a terrific event for classic car enthusiasts and collectors, families, and anyone who wants dive...make that, drive...into automotive fun. - Bobby Likis
(PRWEB) September 25, 2014
Automotive Expert and Car-Talk Host Bobby Likis took the Car Clinic show on the road to the Performance Racing Network (PRN) Studios at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. A guest of Nationwide Insurance and Hagerty Classic Car Insurance at the Charlotte AutoFair beginning last Thursday, Likis shared the microphone with racing and classic car enthusiasts on Saturday.
The classic car marketplace was alive and thriving at the AutoFair, and the entire venue popped with excitement for classic car enthusiasts and collectors. From the GTO camp...to the RK Motors exotic Mercedes display, along with hundreds of classic cars...to Tom Cotter and his “Fifty Shades of Rust” book signing, the 2014 Charlotte AutoFair was definitely supercharged and in overdrive.
Says Likis, “What a terrific event for classic car enthusiasts and collectors, families, and anyone who wants to dive...make that, drive...into automotive fun. And I learned a lot about the collaboration between Nationwide Insurance and Hagerty Classic Car Insurance, which partnership I wish had been around when I restored my 1980 Porsche Weissach. Nationwide/Hagerty now offer coverage to restoration buffs while the project is underway in their own home garages! This is definitely a shift up and to the right in classic car coverage.”
Tim Schuldt, vice president of marketing for Charlotte Motor Speedway, comments, “Bringing the Bobby Likis Car Clinic radio show to the AutoFair at Charlotte Motor Speedway revs up the excitement at the event and brings national attention to all of the incredible displays, collector cars, auctions and other fun events during the AutoFair weekend.” Schuldt adds, “Bobby has great passion for classic and performance cars, and his special live broadcast of Bobby Likis Car Clinic presented by Nationwide and Hagerty from the Auto Fair really brought that to life.”
While the crowd of 100,000 AutoFair attendees and 7,000 vendors roared in venues around the track at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, Likis and his guests talked cars in the PRN Studio. For access to all the interviews, drive to http://www.CarClinicNetwork.com/AutoFair.
