Animation Icon Launches New “Toon”
On Nascar Big Screens And For Webcast
Nancy Cartwright, the Voice of Bart Simpson, Expands SportsBlast
Production Franchise
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.”
