It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that we announce T2 Digital Inc has signed a three-year contract with Knoxville Raceway to continue as the track's Official Internet Broadcast Partner. T2 Digital Inc operating its web property, thecushion.com, will be the home for live PPV video broadcasts of the Knoxville Raceway season. The Cushion will provide live weekly coverage from the Sprint Car Capital of the World, including the 56th Annual Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s General Stores.

"We are so proud to be associated with such a great facility and have the ability to give race fans around the world the opportunity for a glimpse into why Knoxville is so special", said Ian J Marvuglio (@Ian_Joesph), CEO & Co-Founder of T2 Digital Inc. “We are honored and humbled to be going into our ninth year doing some form of live video from the track and 2016 starts our seventh year straight of doing live video of the weekly schedule.”

All totaled thecushion.com will carry more than 25 races live from Knoxville Raceway and the schedule is super robust with the Knoxville Nationals, 360 Nationals, Capitani Classic and 10 National Sprint League (NSL) dates. As always all Knoxville races will be available later for On-Demand viewing as well as part of our 700+ race On-Demand library for Premium and VIP members of The Cushion.

“Look for some new added technology to our broadcasts this year as we add new equipment and capabilities in an effort to continue to improve our product year in and year out", said Brian Harmdierks, CTO & Co-Founder T2 Digital.

T2 Digital and The Cushion look forward to a new era beginning at Knoxville Raceway. T2 Digital would like to thank all those involved in getting this new contract done including John McCoy (Knoxville’s Race Director & Promoter), Gary Schumacher (Knoxville’s Business Manager) and Kendra Jacobs (Knoxville’s Marketing Director), whom we welcome to Knoxville.

Mark your calendars. It all gets started April 16th LIVE on thecushion.com for Night 1 of the 2016 season with the Lucas Oil Championship Cup Series winged 410, 360 and 305 sprint cars on tap.

"We cannot wait to get this 2016 season started and we would be remiss not to mention the great fans that support our efforts. To every race fan that has even watched just one of our live or on-demand race broadcasts, we are so grateful and appreciative…. your attention is our oxygen.” - Ian J Marvuglio (@Ian_Joesph), CEO & Co-Founder of T2 Digital Inc.
