Really Fast Cars and Superstars
Fast Cars and Superstars was an ABC Reality Summer show that aired from June 7th 2007 until June 24th, 2007. The show featured twelve celebrities paired up with six hot shot drivers from the Gillette Young Guns in a series of stock car racing challenges.
I must admit I never saw the final episode (it did not air in my neck of the woods) but I was routing for Tony Hawk all the way. The man is fearless.
As you may have seen in one of my other posts, William Shatner was on board for comic relief.
Husband and wife team singer Jewel and rodeo star Ty Murray proved they have the nerves and the need for speed.
The Jeff Gordon Racing School at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Monroe N.C hosted the event and provided the stock cars for the events.
Hosts Kenny Mayne and Brad Daugherty keep everyone in line and the audience informed. Meanwhile Head Official and Driving Instructor, Corey LaCosta kept it real.
