What’s It All About? BET partners with NASCAR for this new eight-episode series that searches for the next generation of minority and female racecar drivers. The group of hopefuls are vying for a spot on Max Siegel’s NASCAR Revolution Racing team.
“This has been an historic year on-track from Revolution Racing and NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity program. Changing Lanes positions viewers to experience the road which led to this landmark success,” noted Max Siegel, CEO of Revolution Racing and creator/executive producer of Changing Lanes. “We knew when creating this show that there was nothing like it on television because NASCAR is a unique and specialized world.”
The contestants are part of NASCAR’s leading driver development program, Drive for Diversity, which provides opportunities for minority and female drivers to compete in one of NASCAR’s highest levels of professional racing.
The series, narrated by Ludacris, kicks off at NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity Testing and Evaluation Combine, where 30 drivers experience a rigorous application process. The 10 drivers selected for the team compete in several elimination-style contests, with four finalists winning the opportunity to qualify for the Toyota All Star Showdown in Irvine, Cal.
