NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(Business Wire)--
Rattletrap Productions is pleased to announce the move of Stacey
David's GearZ(TM), formerly introduced in the early spring of 2007 on
ESPN2s "Garage Block," to the SPEED network effective Saturday,
February 23rd. The popular show, hosted by Stacey David, will now be
shown on SPEED's Saturday morning automotive programming, the "Castrol
Oil Engine Block", at 9:00 EST.
Stacey David, former longtime host of Trucks! shown on the Spike
network, introduced this high energy 30 minute show last year to
millions of automotive enthusiasts gathering rave reviews for a show
that invigorated the "how-to" automotive program format. David's
unique on-air style, mechanical expertise, and broad coverage of high
profile vehicles, is the exception to traditional automotive 'how-to'
programming. The inaugural season available to over 90 million
subscribers to ESPN2 was a strong success despite the lack of a
consistent air-time. Now, fans of Stacey David's GearZ throughout
North America and Canada will be able to watch this eye-popping show
every Saturday morning at 9:00 EST.
"The success of GearZ," says David, "is that we cover it all from
muscle cars to hot rods, to trucks and bikes. If it is mechanical,
you'll probably see it on GearZ. We're very excited about our premiere
on SPEED, as it is the network that is solely dedicated to motorsports
and everything automotive. The consistent airtime, block promotions
and coverage in Canada precipitated our move to the SPEED network."
The premiere show on SPEED is a behind the scenes look at one of
the classic car chase movies of all time - Smokey and the Bandit, with
some very special time with music legend, Jerry Reed. True to the
format that has made Stacey David's GearZ a hit from the first day it
aired, this season promises to be the most exciting yet, featuring
interviews with the people associated with high profile vehicles,
installations that will make you want to go out and build it yourself,
and the historical background about vehicles that give depth to the
story.
