They must be over 18 and have a valid U.S. driver´s license with no serious traffic offense convictions. Additional restrictions apply. The selected participants will be judged on a point system by existing NASCAR drivers as well as other established and well-known pit crew personnel, etc. Areas of judging will include, but will not be limited to: raw talent, on-camera appearance and personality, overall racing desire and on-track racing abilities. Tests, trials and actual races will be held weekly to earn contestants points that will determine such things as rewards and pole position.
Reality Racing Inc.´s new TV show REALITY RACING - THE ROOKIE CHALLENGE will continue its promotional launch in Nashville, Tennessee on November 5 and 6, 2005, as a rookie driver competes for the first time in a major ASA series race.
According to Schaefer, "Our show gives people who believe they have what it takes to be a professional race car driver the chance to live their dream by not only competing against other drivers of similar experience, but knowing that the winner of REALITY RACING - THE ROOKIE CHALLENGE will be given the opportunity to actually drive professionally as a member of an established NASCAR sanctioned series race team."
