Grand Slam Track™, the new global home of professional track competition, launched by four-time Olympic Champion Michael Johnson, announced it has selected global sports AI, tech and data leader Stats Perform as its exclusive global data and betting rights distributor and integrity partner.
Grand Slam Track™ is the premier global professional track league, featuring head-to-head matchups between the fastest stars in the sport. Every detail has been designed to unlock the sport’s full potential of storytelling, personalities, and gamification for broadcast and commercial partners and most importantly, for track stars and fans.
Amongst increased prize money, contracted racers, and many other innovations designed to elevate the profile of track racing, only one event will take place at a time at each Slam. The Slams will be broadcast live on linear TV and streaming and across licensed sportsbooks. Together these initiatives are expected to create unprecedented fan affinity and attention for the racers and rivalries.
Stats Perform is a trusted partner to many of the world’s highest-profile professional men’s and women’s sports organizations, with a deep expertise in collecting, creating, and distributing trusted, premium sports data, AI technology, and news and video content to maximize fan and bettor engagement, as well as supplying integrity services across the world of professional sport.
“We’re delighted to partner with a world leader like Stats Perform to help us bring track to more fans across the globe,” said Michael Johnson, Commissioner of Grand Slam Track™.
“We look forward to setting a new standard for our sport with Stats Perform’s extensive network of trusted media and betting partners, eye-opening technology, and their true passion for the power of sport to unify and entertain. After helping leagues like the Premier League, WTA, La Liga and more build their audiences, we’re excited for them to do the same with Grand Slam Track™,” he added.
“This partnership with Stats Perform is important for Grand Slam Track and the entire sport for a few reasons,” said Steve Gera, President of Grand Slam Track. “In addition to co-investing into the development of data and betting infrastructure for the sport, Stats Perform is also ensuring that all of our athletes, partners, and stakeholders enter this space with the highest level of knowledge, education, and integrity. They will be an important asset to the large investment our league is making into this sport.”
“MJ and the Grand Slam Track™ team have created something with astonishing entertainment and commercial potential for men’s and women’s track athletics, built upon his decades of unique experience on all sides of the spectrum, as a racer, as a media professional, and as an entrepreneur,” explained Carl Mergele, Chief Executive Officer at Stats Perform.
“Everyone at Stats Perform is honored to have been selected as Grand Slam Track™’s exclusive data and betting streaming rights provider. We are excited to help them realize their vision of lifting the stories and personalities of track racing to their rightful positions in the hearts and minds of fans and bettors globally,” he said.
Grand Slam Track™ will host four Slams taking place this year between April and June in Kingston, Jamaica, Miami at Miramar, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. 96 contracted men’s and women’s star athletes will race over three action-packed hours, across 12 event groups for three consecutive nights. All four Grand Slam Track events will be streamed live in the U.S. on Peacock, including exclusive coverage of Slam Fridays, with the CW Network providing broadcast coverage of Slam Saturdays and Sundays.

Casino operator’s greenscreen-powered Live Blackjack experience to deliver immersive, custom gameplay and deeper brand engagement
LuckyStreak, the Riga-based live games provider, has launched its fully customisable SmartStudio greenscreen technology with online casino operator WinSpirit, delivering a high-spec branded Live Blackjack experience.
The integration gives WinSpirit the ability to completely customise every visual element of the blackjack environment, from the set, walls and floor, to the dealer’s backdrop, with the brand’s logo and colours. This creates a high-impact, bespoke experience that drives stronger engagement between brand and player.
LuckyStreak’s green screen solution lets operators like WinSpirit create fully customised, branded live casino environments without needing physical set builds. It’s flexible, fast, and cost-effective. Operators can choose different backgrounds, themes, branding elements – even switch between them dynamically if needed.
Designed with flexibility and fast deployment in mind, LuckyStreak’s highly advanced SmartStudio system offers chroma system keys in full HD with low latency, to promise razor sharp streams. The technology offers studio-grade production, multi-camera greenscreen and a semi-dedicated table layout that enables precise drop logos, video and stills layering and vibrant colour matching. The result is a deeply immersive and visually distinct blackjack game that perfectly aligns with WinSpirit’s brand identity.
This launch reinforces LuckyStreak’s commitment to delivering versatile and custom solutions for operators looking for more tailored and brand-led experiences across their live casino offering.
Ido Kamiel, COO at LuckyStreak, said: “We’re delighted that WinSpirit has chosen to enhance their players’ blackjack experiences with our greenscreen technology. It is designed to be highly flexible to meet our customers’ diverse and individual branding needs, and simple to deploy, to really enable us to forge closer relationships between player and brand, and to ensure that those meaningful moments are unforgettable.
“We are pleased to say that this is being reflected in longer and more involved player sessions compared to their generic table KPIs.”
Oleksandr Kotsenko, Business Development Lead at WinSpirit, said: “At WinSpirit, we’re always focused on offering players more choices and enhancing their gaming experience.
“Our partnership with LuckyStreak has been a perfect step in bringing this vision to life. We’re excited about this partnership and confident that LuckyStreak will delight our players while making a fantastic addition to our library.”
