The news on the street WAS that the TLC channel would be premiering a new NASCAR reality TV series called “NASCAR Wives.” It was originally ‘s scheduled to follow the Miss America Pageant and there was a full series slated for the spring. Amongst the ladies, the wives that were going to participate was going to be Lindy Hornaday, Kelley Earnhardt, Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s sister; and Shana Mayfield, the wife of Jeremy Mayfield.
I already see problems with that original list that doesn’t need further exploration at this juncture.
Now the reality of Hollywood stuck the series and it’s been canceled. TLC ordered 8 episodes and they had a 1-hour premiere last year, but things hit a snag. In fact, the reality of what reality TV struck!
The show did not have enough controversy and here’s the important part (Listen up fans of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette and other such shows)
“The network wanted situations created that were not true to how these women normally act. They wanted conflict, and we just weren’t willing to go down that road,” said Jay Abraham, NASCAR Media Group’s COO.
