Purpose of a Racing Scanner
All racing teams have radio frequencies assigned to them so they can communicate with each other. Conversations are held between the driver and a spotter, crew chief, or other drivers before, during, and after a race. A spotter informs the driver when he is clear to make a move, any accidents up ahead of him on the race track during the race, which line to get into to help him pass or drive around cars and also tell the driver what line to use (up or down the track) to help him race faster. A crew chief (head mechanic) will communicate with the driver as to how his car is running, what changes are wanted, what his time is and how long before the next pit stop.
A racing scanner allows you to listen in on these conversations. A racing scanner has multiple frequencies to allow you to listen to all the teams. Each team has a primary, secondary and a back up frequency assigned to them. A racing scanner has all these frequencies for you to choose from any given time during the race, before the race, and after the race.
Here is a list of frequencies currently being used at the start of the 2007 Nascar season:
