Plans for Expanded Coverage Underway for an Unprecedented 2026

Barre, VT — The North East Short Track Network (NESTN) has announced the addition of Mark Beaudry to the network to oversee growing NESTN operations while exciting additions and partnerships continue to be in the works for the upcoming season.

Already composed of veteran leadership under Connor Sullivan and Steve McLaughlin, the addition of Beaudry guiding streaming operations positions NESTN as the premier steaming group for short track racing in the Northeast. With growth and vision for the future, fans can expect expanded coverage and new innovations that will take the viewing experience to the next level.

Beaudry joins after serving as the head of RaceDayTV, where he played a key role in building the platform into one of the most respected streaming outlets across New England. His experience also includes leading broadcasts for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, further cementing his reputation as one of the most trusted and experienced producers in grassroots motorsports.

“I’m incredibly grateful for the years I’ve had with RaceDayTV and the opportunities it gave me,” Beaudry said. “The friendships, experiences, and growth I gained there will always mean a great deal to me. Now, I’m ready to take this next step with NESTN and the exciting additions to the already fantastic family of tracks we have. Together, we’re going to showcase the very best racers in the business and deliver a fan experience that raises the bar.”

Beaudry has confirmed that 2026 will bring major upgrades and new initiatives across NESTN, its affiliated tracks and events. “I had opportunities to move south and work with some amazing organizations, but my heart has always been in the Northeast,” Beaudry added. “This region has the most passionate short track fans anywhere, and I’m committed to giving them coverage and storytelling that matches their dedication. The future of NESTN is bright, and we’re just getting started.”

Cris Michaud, managing partner of Thunder Road, White Mountain, and ACT, welcomed Beaudry to the team. “Mark has proven himself as one of the best in the business when it comes to live streaming short track racing,” Michaud said. “His vision and dedication are exactly what we need as we continue to grow NESTN and deliver the best possible product to our fans. We’re excited for what he brings to the table now and even more excited about where he’ll take us in the future.”
