NASCAR sitcom for FOX?
I'm not finding a lot of information about this, and probably wouldn't have found anything if my pal Wild Bill hadn't sent me a link to this article.
Buried within a lot of other NASCAR news is just a few words about a possible NASCAR-based sitcom being developed for FOX that will center on a "dysfunctional race team." That's the only details we have so far. The series could debut in January, but we'll let you know for sure when more information starts to pop up.
The first thing I thought of when I saw the phrase "dysfunctional race team" was the Kenny Rogers movie Six Pack. I have no idea if this new comedy will feature a pit crew consisting entirely of children, but that might be a good angle.
Like Jay, I've poked my share of fun at NASCAR, but there's no denying the sport has transcended the racetrack and conquered television, IMAX screens and even the romance novel bizness (no, seriously). Despite the occasional jab from folks like myself who will never understand the allure of this sport, it has persevered and garnered a base of true fans who couldn't care less what I think.
So, for any NASCAR fans out there: you love to watch the races, but would you watch a sitcom about NASCAR? Share your feelings in the comments, we're all friends here.
