“The Real Spin with Danny Sullivan and Bill Armour
” will cover the world of motorsports
Will debut October 15 and air weekly on the Dan Patrick Radio
channel on SiriusXM
NEW YORK – October 11, 2018 –
SiriusXM today announced that former open-wheel racing star Danny Sullivan,
winner of the 1985 Indy 500 and 1988 CART Series champion, will host a new
weekly show that will air nationwide on the Dan Patrick Radio channel on
SiriusXM (channel 211).
The Real Spin with Danny Sullivan and Bill Armour
will debut on October 15th and air every Monday (6:00-7:00 pm
ET). Sullivan and Armour, a longtime journalist and racing insider, will
cover the world of motorsports - including Formula 1, IndyCar, IMSA, Moto
GP and more - and share their insights and discuss the trending topics from
on and off the track.
The show takes its title from Sullivan’s famous 360-degree on-track spin
towards the end of the 1985 Indy 500, when Sullivan deftly avoided a
potential race-ending crash to go on to outrun Mario Andretti for the
victory. The “Spin and Win” was a career-defining moment for Sullivan and
has become a timeless highlight in motorsports history.
“I am very excited to get behind the mic and talk with SiriusXM’s listeners
about the latest news and events in motorsports every Monday,” said
Sullivan. “The Real Spin is going to cover it all in Formula 1,
IndyCar and more, both on the track and off, and I look forward to working
with Bill and SiriusXM.”
“Not only was Danny a star behind the wheel, he was ahead of his time when
it came to reaching new fans and building the profile of drivers and their
sport away from the track,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s President and
Chief Content Officer. “He has a fascinating perspective on what goes into
being successful both on the track and off and we’re excited to give him a
platform on SiriusXM to share his insight and experience. Our listeners
will enjoy hearing Danny and Bill share their thoughts on the news from
Formula 1, Indy Car and more each week.”
Sullivan’s career behind the wheel spanned two decades in which he competed
in the CART Series (1982, 1984-1993, 1995), Formula 1 (1983), NASCAR (1994)
and other events like 24 Hours of Le Mans. Sullivan’s racing career is
highlighted by winning the 1985 Indy 500 and 1988 CART Series, and Sullivan
is viewed as a pioneer off the track whose success marketing himself and
promoting the world of auto racing to a wider audience set an example
followed by generations of drivers who came after him.
Subscribers nationwide can listen to The Real Spin with Danny Sullivan and Bill Armour on the Dan
Patrick Radio channel, which is available nationwide on SiriusXM radios
(channel 211), on the SiriusXM app and at SiriusXM.com (

, and at home on a wide variety of connected devices, including smart TVs,
Amazon Alexa devices, Apple TV, PlayStation, Roku, Sonos speakers and more.
The show will also be available On Demand via the SiriusXM app and at
