DG-Spec Scion Team Featured on NBC Sports Network Next Monday Team’s Story Told on “Survive the 25” Reality Show Long Beach, Calif. — Next Monday, March 19, the DG-Spec Scion road racing team will be featured in the hour-long reality TV show, “Survive the 25.” The show airs on NBC Sports Network (formerly Versus) and covers the team’s 25-Hours of Thunderhill racing effort that took place this past December. The race has the unique distinction of being the longest road race in North America. This past 25-hour race marked the most entries in the history of the event, with nearly 90 cars trying to weather the grueling test. Lead producer for the show, Clark Cambern had this to say: “As a producer, I look for two things in my subjects: passion and honesty. They're the most important elements in any story. They're also incredibly rare. I watched the DG-Spec team laugh, cry, cheer, and fight their way through one of the toughest races in the world. They met every challenge swinging and absolutely refused to give up, even when things seemed hopeless. In short, they were totally committed and completely real. I hope the audience enjoys watching the DG-Spec story as much as we enjoyed telling it. I promise- it's a helluva ride.” Show air details are as follows: Who: DG-Spec Scion Factory-Backed Road Racing Team What: “Survive the 25” One-Hour Reality TV Show Where: NBC Sports Network When: Monday, March 19, 5 pm Eastern/ 2 pm Pacific (check local listings) Why: Glimpse into the world of what it takes to succeed in the longest road race in America Photos, videos, and updates on the team can be found on DG-Spec’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/DG-Spec/202937143062874 as well as their YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/DanGardnerSpec.

It sure is nice to be able to set my DVR from my phone while i'm at work so I don't have to miss things like this that I find out about at the last minute.

Sounds like a pretty solid build for the car too...

DG runs like a well oiled machine with Mr. Gardner himself at the helm. They are a very tight knit group for sure.
