Video: Are You Faster Than A Redneck Premiers TONIGHT! 7PM Pacific/10PM Eastern On SPEED!! Tune IN!

Tonight at 10PM Eastern the new SPEED channel series, “Are You Faster Than A Redneck?” premiers and we’ll be watching. You should tune in as well. We’ve seen a preview of the show and we think it is really good. It mixes some good humor with cool cars, tight racing, and professional levels of production. The host of the show and chief redneck in charge is Jon Reep. He’s the red-headed guy you remember from the “Got A Hemi?” Dodge truck commercials that ran a few years back. As far as the cars go, all of the big name heavy hitters in the Pro Touring world are on the scene here from Brian Finch, Bill Howell, Kyle Tucker, and on and on.

As you’ll see in the preview, the racing is hard core. Fenders get crunched, guys spend plenty of time mowing the grass off course, and there is a genuine desire to win on both sides of the equation. The most unique element of the show (at least in the preview we saw) is the attitude. It takes itself seriously with respect to the legitimacy of the cars and the racing, but Reep shines as the leader of the redneck gang and instigator of the imports. He talks trash, calls them names, and plays his role to a T. As you’ll see in the preview below Reep is right at home slugging down a beer and celebrating victories for his side. Trust us when we tell you that the rednecks don’t win every race. Reep is almost more entertaining when his boys are on the wrong side of a match up.

Tonight is the night that pro touring goes prime time. SPEED gave the show a great lead in with the NASCAR race, so here’s hoping they get a big audience. We’ll be watching and you should be too!

    Meh…

    Instantly turned off by the slap in the show’s trailer. Crap like that tells me its going to be all about drama. And the stereotype redneck that Reep plays does a disservice to the very serious guys that are flogging the domestic sheet metal. What they won’t tell you on the show is that those pro touring cars are every bit, if not more, expensive than the imports that the show is set up to beat on.

    Not even going to watch.

    F”ck this show you stupid redneck inbred retards i was looking forward to this show until i watched the first episode and wanted to scream! So bone stock imports with amateur drivers get to race fully modified muscle cars with nascar drivers!!! BULLSH”T AND F”CK everyone involved in this rip off show I’m not watching anymore episodes

    1. Bill Howell

    Well maybe you sorry suckers with cheaply modified tuner cars shouldn’t bet you are faster than these rednecks who you know are coming with the muscle! Its the first episode, i bet it gets better.

    Stupid show. How about matching up equal engine sizes? I.e. 6 cyl German car against a 6 cyl American pile of junk as well as same year model cars. I will be happy to bring a Porsche 911S against Kenny Wallace. Email me.

    1. Bill Howell

      We can’t get you Kenny Wallace, but we would love some 911S. where are you located, maybe we can get you to one of our events this year and see how bad that 911S is against Mr. Finch or Mr. Tucker.

    So you’re telling me that a stock 3 series bmw is one of the fastest cars that showed up? WTF? I was expecting a real challenge… The show is ridic!!! I hate they have to be so soap opera with it… just show the freaking races!!!

    I watched the show tonight and got pissed off. Imports are basicly stock against heavily modified muscle cars. I hate how one sided this show is!!

  7. Rick

    Loved the show! Rednecks, muscle cars and tuner cars…what could be better? The humor in the show is great, I only wish that the bad language would be less so I could let my you get sons watch. I enjoy seeing the competition. 2004 BMW 330i zhp, 2006 F250 Power Stroke and 1958 Corvette Fuel Injection

    It’s funny to read these negative comments about the show, this is Television Entertainment first and foremost and in that regard it gets an A in my book.

    As far as the competition goes, a stock 6 against 6, what the hell are you thinking. This is run what you bring hope you brought enough, not many of the competitor cars are stock, that subey, the bmw, all of them are tuned race cars not just some street car. The drivers appear to be well reversed in wheeling there perspective cars as well.

    Don’t get butt hurt just because your beloved import just got outrun by an old heavy piece if junk, get better, and laugh a little for gawds sake.

    I love the show but. If you really want to put a show together put one about regular people imports against American and let them race and let them put there one money up OR rides do drag and circuit.

    Funny show. Wish Kenny Wallace raced the GTR. Think that one would have been much more interesting. The close race of the S4 was the best episode so far. Honestly the show should be judging the driver and car. People want to see a race not one person who is a better driver who also has the better car. Also, I’d like to see some Porsche and Ferrari’s out there too.
