A hot rumor has Ram, as part of their new Truck Series program, launching a reality tv show competition to find one or more of their next drivers. Some of you might remember Roush Racing: Driver X, a similar tv show that televised Roush Racing’s old “Gong Show” talent competitions (note: if you remember Roush Racing: Driver X”, you probably should make sure you’re scheduled for a colonoscopy). Here’s a few of the possible aspects of Ram’s version of this concept:
—It will almost certainly be hosted by An Actor You’ve Never Heard Of, An Attractive Lady Co-Host You Kind of Recognize, and Rutledge Wood.
—With Ram’s new slogan being “Never Stop Being American”, be prepared for a Canadian driver to be presented like a banished outsider or a left-handed bowler.
—I’d expect plenty of quickie characterizations, with certain drivers being labeled “the prankster”, “the short fuse”, “the one with something to prove”, and “like Clint Bowyer, but not as insufferable”.
—There’s sure to be plenty of unnecessary recaps coming back from commercials. “When we last left our drivers, Jerry was eating a turkey sandwich” (slo-mo of Jerry eating a turkey sandwich).
—There’s sure to be some sort of elimination catch phrase when drivers are removed from competition. I’d suggest either “Your race is over” or “Indy NXT is hiring”.
—If the winner’s trophy isn’t an anthropomorphic ram/truck hybrid, I’m going to be very disappointed.
