Reality Racing is a competition-based reality television show that debuted May 19, 2007 on Spike TV, where it ranked first amongst male audiences aged 18 to 49, according to Spike's parent company Viacom. The show was described by one journalist as 'NASCAR meets American Idol,' but failed to achieve its first season advertising sales performance targets. The show aired alongside the shows Trucks! and Bullrun, and was an essential component of Spike's Powerblock.
Famous quotes containing the words reality and/or racing:
“Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be—like the reality of yesterday—an illusion tomorrow.”
—Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936)
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
