V8Xtra revs back into life this weekend as the beginning of the 2012 V8 Supercars Championship at the Clipsal 500 approaches fast. Host Neil Crompton is joined by his regular sidekicks Mark Skaife and Mark Larkham for this weekend's show as the team previews a massive season ahead. The lads wandered onto the grid at the recent Sandown test day during the massive fan grid walk and gauged the fans thoughts ahead of the new season and also caught up with new IRWIN signing Lee Holdsworth. Aaron Noonan reports on just who has moved where in a very busy off-season and covers one of the biggest stories in the history of the championship -- the arrival of Nissan with Kelly Racing in 2013. Riana Crehan is back on board and takes time out with a range of drivers to see what they got up to during their off-season. And the V8Xtra team pays a very special tribute to a great mate we lost just before Christmas, Jason Richards.
