SpeedFreaks® Will Debut Team Mopar® Coverage
with an Edge on MavTV
Team Mopar motorsports coverage "with an attitude" will premiere next week on MavTV, courtesy of SpeedFreaks®. The first half-hour of SpeedFreaks' new "reality" motorsports program is scheduled to air on the MavTV cable and satellite network (U.S., Canada and the U.K.) on Monday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m., prior to the kick-off of Monday Night Football (check local cable or satellite provider for MavTV in your area). Immediately following the MavTV network debut, the entire SpeedFreaks "webisode" will be exclusively available for download at www.MavTV.com on the SpeedFreaks page.
A new Mopar-centric SpeedFreaks webisode will launch each Monday at 8 p.m. for five consecutive weeks starting with the inaugural MavTV network broadcast. The SpeedFreaks trio of Kenny Sargent, Crash Gladys and Statt Mann Caruthers will document Team Mopar drivers both at and away from the track to give fans a unique "peak behind the curtains" look at the life of a Mopar-powered race car driver.
The first episode follows Team Mopar SCORE Desert off-road driver Brian Collins as he tests his Mopar Dodge Ram 1500 in the desert and unwinds—at the gun range—after a hard day of racing. The show will also give viewers a glimpse as four-time NHRA POWERade champion and Team Mopar Funny Car driver Gary "Wild Thing" Scelzi leaves his usual "office" at the drag strip and indulges in his other passion—circle track racing—in support of the Michael Ross Memorial Foundation.
Future SpeedFreaks webisodes will spotlight additional Team Mopar stars, including NASCAR Sprint Cup star and Team Mopar World of Outlaws /USAC Sprint and Midget team owner Kasey Kahne. Kasey Kahne Racing drivers Brady Bacon, Brad Sweet and Joey Saldana will also appear, as will two-time Formula Drift champ Samuel Hübinette, NHRA Pro Stock driver Allen Johnson, SCCA road-racer Cindi Lux and Mopar-powered racing legend Don "Big Daddy" Garlits.
