Fast Track to Fame was a short-lived talent show where it features real people from across NASCAR nation including singers, dancers, musicians, comedians and a variety acts of all types.
Premise[]
Acts were solicited from NASCAR's legion of fans through local media in most of the locales where the show was taped and beyond, then auditioned by producers. Once acts were selected (8 to 10 per show) they would square-off against each other on the SPEED stage either Friday or Saturday night in front of a NASCAR fan audience and a panel of three judges representing the worlds of pop culture, entertainment and/or racing. Weekly winners received a $5,000 prize and competed during the two-season finale, with ten finalists going head-to-head to determine the ultimate winner. Viewers could also have the chance to vote online for a "fan favorite" to compete in the grand finale episode.
