Castello, the creator of hit satellite radio shows Wide Open on NASCAR Radio and Power Shift, hopes to break new ground in motorsports radio with the debut of WFO Radio. Through a user-friendly, high-quality experience free of charge to listeners, WFO Radio is setting a new standard for Internet-based radio with opinionated coverage of NASCAR, NHRA, Indy Car, Formula One, ALMS, and Grand Am racing.

Schumacher joins Castello Tuesday night for one of the champion's first one-on-one interviews since he earned his record sixth consecutive and seventh overall NHRA Top Fuel world championship.
