Brad Paisley guest stars
and Rick Hendrick stands in for Ray Evernham as host of the season finale of
AmeriCarna next Tuesday at 8 p.m. EDT on Velocity. The winner of a record 11
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series owner’s championships and one of the world’s most avid
car collectors, Hendrick takes viewers on a journey through Corvette history.
Joining Hendrick will be
country music superstar and Corvette enthusiast Paisley. “We’re really lucky in
America; we have this iconic sports car that’s so world renowned,” Paisley
said.
Since its introduction
in 1953 by famous designer Harley J. Earl, the Corvette has been one of the
most iconic cars in automobile history.
“The Corvette is the
heartbeat of America. It’s amazing how many people Corvette has touched over
the years,” said Hendrick, who raced Corvettes in the 1980s and remains one of
the top Chevrolet dealers in the United States. “I do have a passion for the
car; it has driven me to be in the automobile business. I am so thankful to
live the dream and to sell the dream. It doesn’t get any better than this.”
Viewers also will get a never-before-seen look into Hendrick’s
private car collection, which houses one of the most extensive Corvette
collections in existence. The season finale ends in Bowling Green, Ky., where
General Motors vice president of global design Ed Welburn will present the
first two 2014 Corvette Stingrays to Hendrick, who also will drive the first
convertible version of the car off the assembly line.
I started watching this show not at all knowing what to expect, and it instantly became one of my absolute favorites. It deserves a 60 minute time slot.
