Daytona 200 2011 – DiSalvo wins after a crazy final lap!

He is the rider with the red Ducati, and yes, he’s gonna win that race despite being 7th at the beginning of the lap!
Not real road racing I know but still, amazing action and the Daytona 200 is certainly one of the craziest short circuit races in the world.

Michele Abbate joins the ranks of FuelTV’s Octane Academy!

We are excited to announce that one of our avid bloggers, Michele Abbate, was recently announced on the Octane Academy website that she will be a contestant on the Fuel TV show!  If you haven’t heard, Octane Academy is a new show hitting the FuelTV channel this month!

Found on the Octane Academy website (www.OctaneAcademy.com) is this description of the show:

This isn’t a reality show full of spoiled housewives, bronzed idiots or overgrown cupcakes. It’s a world of intense competition, challenges, irreverent personalities & humor. It might have been founded by Ford, but it’s ruled by four action sports superstars: Ken Block, Brian Deegan, Tanner Foust and Vaughn Gittin Jr. They’ve got street cred you can only dream of, but they’re giving you a shot to experience it.

If you’re lucky enough to get picked, you’ll spend four days taking on other fearless competitors through a ton of different challenges born out of the crazy minds of these guys. It won’t be a walk in the park—your athleticism, attitude and audacity will be tested. If you rise above the rest, you’ll be crowned a champion and drive home in one of four brand-new rides from Ford.

This is the life these four guys live every single day. If you want a chance to make it you’ve got to show them you can take it.   Octane Academy is a 13-episode original television series coming to FUEL TV in February 2012. Don’t miss the amazing, adrenaline-pumping entertainment. To learn more, log on to www.fuel.tv.
