Genevieve Chappell to anchor Velocity Magazine webisodes

August 27, 2008 (Huntington Beach, Calif.) – Velocity Magazine has announced that Genevieve Chappell, host of ESPN’s Garage Block, will anchor the new Velocity webisodes, which will be hosted on the website of Velocity Magazine. Velocity TV will be prominently features on the magazine’s website, www.velocitymag.com

Having been named the ‘Queen of Cars’ for hosting the popular Bidding Wars, Mothers Polish Car Show Series, and the Russo & Steel Classic Car Auction shows on ESPN and ESPN2, Chappell brings years of work in front of the camera at numerous car shows and automobile auctions to Velocity. Having grown up in Southern California and living in Orange County herself, she was the natural choice to anchor Velocity’s webisodes. Chappell was also featured in the pages of Velocity Magazine’s July/August 2008 issue.

“I couldn’t be happier to be able to work with Velocity Magazine on this project,” said Chappell, who calls Huntington Beach home. “Velocity combines two of my loves; my home of Orange County, and classic and custom cars that I admire and love to be around. To be featured in Velocity earlier this year was great, but now to be able to work with David Threshie and his staff to develop this show is almost unbelievable.”

Velocity websiodes will focus on the significant car culture and events of Orange County. The additional coverage will complement the editorial focus of Velocity magazine, as well as provide viewers further coverage of the most important cars and personalities of Orange County.

“To have someone with Genevieve’s experience and passion for cars leading our new Velocity webisodes is great,” said David Threshie, Publisher of Velocity Magazine. “We want to offer our readers and advertisers – the car enthusiasts of Orange County - something new and different; something they will enjoy viewing that allows us to better chronicle our distinctive community of cars and their unique owners. Genevieve embodies what Velocity Magazine is about and we are thrilled to see her shows.”

Velocity TV will be jointly produced by Chappell and Aten Syndicate of San Diego, California.

“This is a very exciting project that we are looking forward to,” said Enrique Gutierrez of Aten Syndicate. “We have had a long relationship with Genevieve and are excited to get to collaborate with her and with Velocity Magazine.”
