This sounds like fun. I haven’t seen the show, but I can’t wait to see what talent this open call brings out:
Hi Jason,
I’m a producer with a NEW TALENT COMPETITION show searching for talent in Asheville and it’s surrounding cities.
Our show, FAST TRACK TO FAME, airs on Speed (Monday’s @ 8 pm) and we’re currently searching across the nation for fantastic performers to compete for a $5,000 prize and would really love to find some wonderful NC talent to appear on the program.
We’re holding an open call in Asheville, NC this Friday, March 12 between 1 pm and 7 pm at:
The Crowne Plaza Hotel
One Resort Drive
Asheville, NC 28806
1 pm – 7 pm We’re looking to get the word out as quickly and efficiently as possible as we don’t want anyone to miss the opportunity to audition for the show.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — What would you get if you mixed a grassroots America talent search with a dash of Michael Waltrip’s gregarious personality and spread it liberally over NASCAR Nation? Answer: SPEED’s new talent show, Fast Track to Fame.
Fast Track to Fame is produced exclusively for SPEED by Stars Avenue Productions in conjunction with FiveBinks Inc. David Hill and George Greenberg from Stars Avenue and Michael Binkow and Joe Revello from FiveBinks serve as executive producers.
Waltrip, one of NASCAR’s most outgoing and popular personalities, is set to host. Charissa Thompson, well known for her work on FOX Sports and FSN, serves as co-host.
“With a massive SPEED presence at every NASCAR race all season long, Fast Track to Fame gives fans and viewers a whole new level of entertainment,” SPEED president Hunter Nickell said. “This project is all about NASCAR fans having a great time … it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Fast Track to Fame features real people from across NASCAR Nation including singers, dancers, musicians, comedians and variety acts of all types. The series premieres at 8 p.m. ET March 1, and each show is an hour long with as many as six repeat airings during the following week. Each installment is taped at a stop along the NASCAR schedule from late February through May, and 11 shows are scheduled. After the premiere, the remaining scheduled telecast dates are: March 8, 22, 29; April 12, 19, 26; May 3, 24, 31; and June 7, with all shows airing at 8 p.m. ET
