BOULDER, Colo. April 21, 2008 NASCAR Media Group recently won the race for Computerworld's Best Practices in Storage Awards Program, in the 'Selecting and Deploying a Storage Network' category at Storage Networking World (SNW).

NASCAR Media Group's Spectra T950, combined with Front Porch software, will store more than 50,000 hours of video footage, including all events, TV programs, movies, commercials and other broadcast data.

"NASCAR Media Group selected the Spectra T950 due to its high storage density and low power consumption, which meets environmental requirements in our facility," said Scott Rinehart, director of internal operations at NASCAR Media Group.
