Hope this network gives the show a fighting chance unlike the other networks did with there racing shows. Also heard a rumor that the Madhouse was going to be coming back next year on SPEED Channel.

i heard that rumor as well about madhouse. But I ran into Chris Fleming "Showstopper" and asked him if the show was going to happen again and he said "not right now".

BEMIDJI, Minn. -- The dirt track racing docu-drama “Dirt Knights” will make its much-anticipated television debut next month with a new sixth member stepping into the spotlight.

Twenty-four-year-old Dereck Ramirez of Woodward, Okla., will be one of the featured competitors when the hour-long show debuts Sunday, Jan. 2, at 6 p.m. Eastern on VERSUS – the fastest growing cable sports network in the nation.

“We’re excited to have Dereck on board,” said Mike Spaulding who, along with fellow featured driver Corey Dripps, has spearheaded the Dirt Knights project from its inception nearly three years ago. “We've been watching Dereck progress while filming fellow Dirt Knights driver Jon Tesch, and felt his charismatic presence along with his driving skills would be a great addition to Dirt Knights.”

Ramirez Motorsports, which is owned and operated by Dereck’s father, Leon Ramirez, entered the playing field less than three years ago and have grown into a force to be reckoned with, recruiting USMTS National Champions such as Tim Donlinger and many others.

“I’m honored that these guys would welcome me into the Dirt Knights family,” said Ramirez. “We’ve all become good friends and fierce competitors over the last few seasons, and I’m more excited about this opportunity than words can describe.

“However,” he added, “I hope they don’t think this will make me cut them a break on the racetrack, because that ain’t happening.”

While he has led nearly 100 main event laps in four seasons, Ramirez is the only one of the six Dirt Knights cast of characters still searching for that elusive first win with the USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Tour.

Dirt Knights is an on-going dramatic series of one-hour programs that will air twice a week for 13 weeks beginning Jan. 2, 2011, with each episode reaching more than 75 million households.

Episodes will air during the highly coveted Sunday evening time slot. VERSUS is available in high-definition and can be seen nationally on DirecTV (channel 603), Dish Network (channel 151) and regionally on most cable systems.

The life of an American dirt track racer is not one that many could endure, but for the Dirt Knights it’s the only life worth living, and through the Dirt Knights TV series on VERSUS, we all get to go along for the wild ride.
