Fox Sports Net [FSN] signs broadcast deal with BCC Sports to air the new reality series, “All American Rookie” which takes 30 rookie race drivers and pits their skill, endurance and tenacity against each other, then against 10 of the best of NASCAR in a final ‘race war’ for the crowning of the “All American Rookie”, a title that earns the winner a sponsored contract to race in the NASCAR Busch Series as a professional driver. CEO of BCC Sports and Executive Producer of the show, Geno Brunton says, “it’s been a long haul, but certainly one that’s been worth it; with so many other shows that have attempted this format, it’s great to see a network like FSN step up, see the vision and embrace the possibility this show presents.” According to NASCAR champion, Joe Nemechek, a producer of the show and mentor to the rookies, “We felt all along that this was the right approach to bringing fans a true view of the sport and eventually open the way for a fan to one day compete to become a professional in stock car racing.”
Nemechek, currently a driver in the Nextel Cup Series, is being supported by 10 other NASCAR drivers on the show to be involved as judges and mentors to the 30 rookie drivers that will start the show. The final five Rookies will actually race against these champion drivers and will all have to prove themselves worthy of a spot on the track as the anointed, “All American Rookie™”. The driver emerging victorious will earn a sponsored contract to race for the NEMCO team in the Busch Series.
“‘All American Rookie™’ is a perfect fit for FSN as it merges the intensity of stock car racing with the drama of reality TV,” said Michael Feller, FSN Vice President of Programming, “We are very excited about the series and the possibilities for FSN as part of its original programming line up.”
“All American Rookie” moves into production in late November at the Daytona International Speedway, filming at five other race tracks across the country, with production running through to the end of January. A broadcast schedule is timed for early spring as the NASCAR season begins on FOX.
