LOS ANGELES, CA – August 7, 2007
On the heels of the $100 million opening week of “The Simpsons Movie,” Nancy Cartwright, the iconic voice of Bart Simpson, announced the inception of a new cartoon series slated to air on the “big screens” during NASCAR Nextel Cup Series events across the country.

The series, entitled Haley’s SportsScopes, is the latest venture for Cartwright’s SportsBlast franchise following production of the web series The Kellys and its FOX affiliate spin-off Brenda’s RaceScopes.

Haley Johnson, star of the animated series, made her NASCAR debut live on the Nextel Vision “big screens” at Daytona International Speedway before the Pepsi 400, and will appear again August 12th at Watkins Glen International Raceway in upstate New York.

The series will also air on International Speedway Corporation’s Internet site www.racingone.com and on www.SportsBlast.com.

The SportsScopes ™ franchise delivers topical branded entertainment to fans of various professional sports leagues, providing horoscopes to create a funny and provocative take on predictions of who will win or lose. “Sometimes she picks them and sometimes she doesn’t, but it’s all in good fun,” said series producer Peter Kjenaas.

The series features voice-acting superstar Kath Soucie (The Replacements, Pirates of the Caribbean: World’s End, Curious George, Futurama, Kim Possible) as Haley, and is executive produced by Nancy Cartwright. “We’ve streamlined our production line until we can deliver these fully animated shorts in just a couple days,” said Cartwright. “Look for lots more of Haley and friends appearing across the sports world and beyond.”
