Have heard stories of a new modified racing show on tv, kind of like Heartland Thunder. Anyone know if there is any truth to this?

I'm sure you're referring to Dirt Knights. It will be on Versus in January 2011. They've been following the entire USMTS tour this season.

Here is a teaser for it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DV_muv_UqA
