America's newest reality based TV show centred on Motorsport; "America's Top Driver" will have triple NASCAR Champion Cale Yarborough serving as𒅌 one of its 𒅌directors.

The Idea Sports Entertainment Group will produce the new s🐻how, which will see wannabe racers pit themselves against one another for the chance to race head to head with a recognised Motorsports superstar for a prize of one million dollars. Yarborough will also serve as an analyst on the show.

"America's Top Driver is one o🥀f the most interesting, and compelling racing series I've ever seen," commented Yarborough. "I think it's great. For a young driver to have a chance to race in great equipment, on a big-time racetrack, with a chance to go head-to-head with a superstar for One Million Dollars . . . I wish I could jump in the car myself.

"Aside from the whole excitement of the series, we might just find that next Richard Petty or Dale Earnhardt. A lot about racing is being in the right place at the right time. I know that first hand. Racing has been very good to me, and if this series could be the right place, and the right time for a young driver, t🌼hen I'm all for it. I just think it could be a great and entertaining racing series that we could do year after year."

Yarborough is a giant in stock car racing and brings a wealth of💫 experience and knowledge to America's Top Driver. He won 83 of 558 races, an impressive 14.87 winning percentage. His 83 wins are fifth on the all-time list. He also won 70 poles, third on the all-time list.

While winning more than $5 million in prize money, Yarborough accomplished some other impressive statistics. He's the only driver to win the NASCAR Grand National (now NASCAR Ne🎉xtel Cup) championship three years in succession (1976-78), and the only champion (1977) to be running at the finish of every race.

In 1987 Yarborough formed Cale Yarborough Motorsports, which competed in the NASCAR Wi൲nston (now Nextel) Cup until 1999.

Idea Chairman & CEO, William C. Morris added: "Landing a legend like Cale Yarborough in this capacity is a grea🔯t start for us. I'm excited about his initial passion and enthusiasm regarding America's Top Driver. I look forward to working closely with him on this project, and other Motorsports projects that Idea has in the works."
