SPEED offered a sneak peak of its new Monday night series Big Shots – Titans at the Tee on Sept. 19 at 8 p.m. ET, as the six-episode show follows a group of NASCAR drivers as they compete on the newly created HorsePower Tee Shot Tour.
Drivers Elliott Sadler, Brian Vickers, J.J. Yeley, Marcos Ambrose, David Ragan, Kyle Petty, Hermie Sadler and Stephen Leicht will partner with some of the longest hitters in the world in a series of six Power Golf events that reward both distance and accuracy.
“This has been a lot harder than I expected and the competition is great,” said Elliott Sadler, a regular on the popular SPEED pre-race show Trackside. “The fans who have watched the first three competitions in person are very vocal and very active participants in the events, so they obviously enjoy what they are seeing. I think the fans who watch it on TV this fall will take pleasure in seeing their favorite drivers competing in a different setting … and if you are a golf fan, you are going to see some of the most amazing shots ever hit.”
Using only USGA-approved drivers, all play is generated from a tee box located on an actual golf hole. Ten-yard scoring segments start at 220 yards through 400 yards, with each segment increasing by 5 points. Shots outside the competition grid do not earn any points.
Hosted by Rick Allen, the one-hour programs will follow the HorsePower Tee Shot Tour as it travels the NASCAR circuit, teeing it up at Cabarrus Country Club (Concord, N.C.), The Grande Golf Club (Jackson, Mich.), Joliet Country Club (Joliet, Ill.), Mark Twain Golf Course (Elmira, N.Y.), Maple Dale Country Club (Dover, Del.) and wrapping things up back in Concord for the championship.
"This show is the culmination of athletes from two great sports coming together to showcase their individual athletic abilities in a format that demonstrates to the world that these guys can hit the golf ball a long way as well as shape their shots with accuracy,” said John Mamoudis, President and CEO, HorsePower Sports Marketing. “With the NASCAR drivers behind the wheel every day at speeds up to 200 mph and then involved with a golf competition in which ball speeds reach
