The Wood Brothers/JTG Racing teams will be highlighted on episode two of “Survival of the Fastest” on the SPEED Channel in the United States this Friday night at 8:00pm (US Eastern).
“Survival of the Fastest” goes behind closed doors with NASCAR Nextel Cup teams as they plan and prepare to survive the ultra-competitive world of stock car racing, telling the story over a period of several weeks and from the perspective of several different characters.
Unprecedented access to team meetings, strategy sessions and radio communication gives a glimpse into the lives of the principal players, from team managers and crew chiefs to drivers and pit crews.
“Fly on the wall” cinematography makes viewers feel like part of the team and living the NASCAR life. The result is a complete depiction of what it takes to compete in racing’s top series, from checkered flag to green flag, on a weekly basis.
Episode Two centers on filming beginning with the week leading up to the Pocono Raceway event last week and features footage from the No. 21 Nextel Cup team, as well as the Busch Series #59 Kingsford Charcoal Ford Fusion, driven by Marcos Ambrose.
Highlights from week two include interviews with Wood Brothers/JTG Racing President Tad Geschickter, Australian ace Marcos Ambrose, car chief Dwayne Doucet and Cup crew chief Michael McSwain.
Episode Three, set to air next week, will include a behind the scenes look at the Wood Brothers/JTG Racing Marketing Department ? as they put the plans in motion on the execution of their complex promotional programs that keep the sponsors’ programs moving forward.
Air dates for Episode Two debut Friday night, June 15th at 8:00pm US Eastern on the SPEED Channel, with a re-broadcast set for 10:30am Sunday, June 17th prior to the start of the Citizen’s Bank 400 at Michigan International Speedway.
