"Speedvision is back and we are delighted to have them join Toyota Racing and so many other outstanding organizations and companies as sponsors of our 35th Induction Ceremony," said MSHFA President George Levy. "It is our mission to preserve the history of all facets of motorsports and Speedvision is already established as one of the broadcast pillars in all of racing. For a time in the 1990s and earlier this century, Speedvision was 'must-watch' television every weekend and home to more than one major motorsports series. It is fantastic to see this great brand and its vast high-performance content resurrected."
A perfect fit for the MSHFA, which is the Hall of Fame for all motorsports, Speedvision is the ultimate destination for the absolute best in automotive, motorcycle, aviation and boating content.
