Motor Madness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Motor Madness was a motorsports based television show on TNN in the late 1990s. It was originally formatted as a live, 3 hour show with a studio segment and coverage of a live event. Racing events included USA Motorsports monster trucks, demolition derbies, World of Outlaws, American Speed Association events, tractor pulls, swamp buggies, and even lawn mower racing. In the second season, the studio segments were eliminated and were replaced with soap opera antics involving the announcers, most likely due to the addition of former professional wrestler Dusty Rhodes to the broadcast team. Many fans were angered at the change, and the show's live format was canceled. The name lived on for a few more seasons in a change to the Monster Jam monster truck exclusive format, then was completely abandoned for the Monster Jam moniker.
