From the Marbles - NASCAR

Oh my heavens, it's come to this: there's going to be a "NASCAR Wives" reality TV show.

Airing on Jan. 24 at 10pm on TLC, "NASCAR Wives" will follow a bunch of, well, NASCAR wives as they live their lives on, off, and around the track. Spotlighted ladies include Kelley Earnhardt Elledge, Junior's sister; DeLana Harvick (right), Kevin's wife; and Shana Mayfield, Jeremy's wife.

The series will start up for good in the spring with a run of eight to 16 episodes, and will presumably show how wacky and wonderful the lives of the ladies of NASCAR are. (Something we established here seven months ago, as I recall.)

Now, NASCAR is as much about lifestyle as it is about racing, so this is a good way to further cement that perception by reaching out to the reality-TV audience. But since NASCAR Media Group is controlling this, you're probably not going to see any wives catfighting, hurling wrenches at their husbands in the hauler or pitching fits about undercooked potato skins at the local TGI Friday's. (On the plus side, you probably won't be seeing anyone poop on the stairs, either.)

I'll tell you straight-up: I have absolutely no intention of watching "NASCAR Wives," but then I'm not exactly their target demographic. On the other hand, I'm all for anything NASCAR making further inroads into the public consciousness. So I put this out to all in MarbleLand: if you want to do a weekly review of the show, hit me up at jay.busbee@yahoo.com and let me know. Please, do the work so I don't have to.

    But will Delana complain about Kevin farting like she did on the Nascar show that Speed had one year?

    If this is a show about nascar wives why then is Mayfield's wife in it? Has he been driving under an assumed name that I'm not aware of? And are they going to show Kelly out with other men? Is this thing going to be rated XXX? Do we get to see the orgies? So many unanswered questions Jay.

    The only word you could add to that title to make me watch that show is "naked"...then, and only then would I think about it...

    Haaaay now... it says "NASCAR Wives" not "NASCAR Driver Wives"... so I would assume, as long as you are involved in NASCAR, and married, your wife can be on the show. They left that one wide open ...
    I don't think I could stand watching this, already seen a special on Mrs. Montoya, and her "tears" about drove me crazy. But I am interested if they'll show all of Kelley's boy-toys... lol

    I look forward to the spin-off, "NASCAR Ex-Wife", following Brooke Gordon around.

    Having Shana Mayfield on the show only perpetuates the rumor that Jeremy Mayfield is a NASCAR driver.
