David Sadowski will no longer be working for SPEED Channel as a color analyst, “effective immediately,” a company spokesman said.

“He’s no longer with (the) AMA (Superbike Series) announce team, and he’s replaced by Freddie Spencer,” Erik Arneson, Director of Public Relations for SPEED Channel, told Roadracingworld.com Friday. “You won’t see him at any other events. I think there are some taped things, some Legends-type things that might air, but you won’t see him at any live events for SPEED.”

Asked if there was a reason why Sadowski was no longer with SPEED, Arneson said, “Yeah, but it’s not one I can discuss. It’s a personnel matter, so it’s nothing I can talk about.”

Attempts by Roadracingworld.com to contact Sadowski have been unsuccessful.

Sadowski, 41, started working for Speedvision, which later became SPEED Channel, in 1993, toward the end of a very successful professional road racing career.

Sadowski co-rode to the 1986 WERA National Endurance Championship and won the 1990 Daytona 200 by Arai Superbike race, the 1990 AMA 600cc Supersport Championship and the 1994 Formula USA National Championship.
