Knight Rider scheme for Kvapil at Bristol: "Knight Rider's" KITT car is heading to Bristol -- sort of. NBC has teamed up with Ford Motor Co. and Yates Racing, which operates two motorsports teams in the Sprint Cup Series, on a promotion for the network's upcoming series. As part of the partnership, Travis Kvapil will drive the specially painted #28 "Knight Rider" Ford for the Sprint Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday. "The stealth look and feel of the car coupled with Travis Kvapil at the helm has us very excited about this race," said John Miller, chief marketing officer at NBC Universal Television Group and president of the NBC Agency. "This event exemplifies the adrenaline and action the 'Knight Rider' series will deliver." Added Kvapil: "It's every guy's dream to feel like they are an action hero, and I get to have that chance under the lights of Bristol with our #28 'Knight Rider' Ford." The race will be broadcast Saturday on ESPN. The series bows Sept. 24.(
