Countdown to The road to Knoxville" Facebook TV Show is on!"
Author : RTK Media

The line-up for the innovative and inaugural “Road to Knoxville” Facebook TV show is remarkable to say the least.
Between Australia and the USA a vast array of stars and their cars (and their bikes and trikes) are lined up to take part in this groundbreaking program that will air on the “Speed Stories” Facebook page every day starting July 29.
There’s incredible racing legends in a ‘where are they now’ style format, the stars of today in many forms of auto racing, live music, an incredible new Sprintcar song that will be unveiled exclusively, a Bonneville Speedweek superstar team, an Oklahoma cowboy with a unique motor racing twist, “Caraoke” and so much more.
And there’s all the hilarity of three Aussies driving across the country from LA to Knoxville Iowa and the first-time experience of Wade’s Dad “Merv” as he copes with being on the ‘wrong side of the car on the wrong side of the road’ as well as many other unique challenges.
It’s going to be incredible!
