NBC Sports Group Gears Up for Automotive Quiz Show

STAMFORD: NBC Sports Group has revealed details for the new automotive game show Shotgun, from the creators of The Amazing Race, which is due to debut digitally prior to its linear premiere later this year.

Shotgun, hosted by NASCAR on NBC’s Rutledge Wood, sees contestants answer trivia questions while riding in a professional race car for the chance to win a cash prize. The eight-episode series is produced by Profiles TV’s Bertram Van Munster and Elise Doganieri, creators of The Amazing Race.

The first four episodes will launch on November 6 on the NBC Sports website and app, with the remaining four becoming available on November 13. The series’ hour-long television premiere is slated for November 19 at 7 p.m. on NBCSN, followed by an encore presentation on NBC on December 11 at 2 p.m.

“We’re excited to debut Shotgun and add this original quiz show to NBC Sports Group’s growing portfolio of automotive and motorsports properties,” said Jon Miller, the president of programming at NBC Sports and NBCSN. “The unique multiplatform debut will allow us to introduce the show to our digital and linear viewers, and surround our existing motorsports coverage with new and exhilarating shoulder programming.”
