Mancari has more than three decades of motorsports experience under his belt, including his responsibilities with the Global Rallycross series. His experience with live and tape-delayed coverage for Rallycross in their relationship with NBC will contribute to NBCSN’s coverage of American Flat Track.
“I’m excited to join American Flat Track as it experiences growth and increased visibility in the motorsports scene,” Mancari said in a press release. “I see a lot of parallels between my experience in racing and series management and AFT’s two-wheel motorcycle sport, and I’m here to help launch AFT into bigger and better things moving forward.”
