ABC Presents Automotive Competition Series

BURBANK: From A. Smith & Co. Productions, the producers of such hits as Hell’s Kitchen, comes Crash Course, an automotive competition reality series set to air on ABC Wednesday nights at 9 p.m.

Starting August 26, Crash Course puts teams of two behind the wheel to compete in a number of automotive competitions, including car bowling, backward drag racing and parallel parking large vehicles. The series, shot in Detroit, Michigan, not only tests couples’ driving and navigating skills, but also tests their relationships and patience as they must work together to make it across the finish line. Each week, five teams of two compete against each other and are eliminated one by one. At the end of each episode, the final "Crash Course" will determine who wins the ultimate prize of $50,000. 

The executive producers are Arthur Smith and Kent Weed for A. Smith & Co. Productions (I Survived a Japanese Game Show), Rick Hurvitz and Bruce Beresford-Redman for Mindcrime. Hosts are Orlando Jones (Drumline, Biker Boyz) and Dan Cortese (The Superstars, Surviving Suburbia).
