Alex Hayden, Turn Announcer with MRN joined the Morning Kix Start with Brandon Lewis on Tuesday to preview the Dayton 500 this weekend.
Prior to joining MRN as a turn announcer in 1997, Alex Hayden worked as an actor at Universal Studios Florida and even landed an appearance on the WB network hit show “One Tree Hill.” His path to racing started growing up not far from Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Muncie, IN. His dad was a photographer and Alex would tag along on his racing assignments. A love for racing grew in Alex to include many of its forms, from Indycar, to local dirt track racing, to traveling with his family to Michigan International Speedway for NASCAR races.

In Theaters this weekend: ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’
Avatar: Fire and Ash picks up after The Way of Water and dives into darker territory, introducing a more aggressive Na’vi tribe tied to fire and volcanic regions. It cranks up the conflict, explores moral gray areas, and shows Pandora is a lot less peaceful than we thought.
