Scripps Networks' Great American Country and the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing are partnering on a new show that celebrates the enduring intermarriage between country music and auto racing. Drafting Partners, which starts a 12-episode run on GAC beginning April 9, will pair up a country star with a NASCAR driver for a rambling conversation on songs and speed. In each episode, the duo will meet at the track during a race weekend to chat and introduce their favorite country-music videos. The first installment, shot at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, will feature Arista Nashville recording artist Jason Michael Carroll and NASCAR's Scott Wimmer. -- Broadcasting & Cable

This is a way for NA$CAR to "return to it's roots"...... I say it's a load of crap... I'm glad they are playin more country music.... but it's still a load of crap.
