Racing dreams start early for a young group of aspiring drivers on truTV’s Kart Life, a brand new docu-series that mixes high speed with high drama as it spotlights the intense world of kart racing kids and their pit-crew parents. Kart Life is set to premiere Wednesday, Jan. 28, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT) on truTV and will be available via truTV’s VOD, digital and mobile platforms the following day.

In Kart Life, karting warriors whiz 70 miles per hour through hair-pin turns, while navigating a sport fraught with danger, intense rivalries and outrageous family drama. The premiere episode finds the karting families in South Bend,
Ind., where a “dirty driving” controversy takes center stage. Young Dylan Tavella gives his all on the track, but when the aggressive tactics of rival Gio Bromante jeopardize Dylan’s safety and competitive standing, the Tavellas lose their cool in a big way. Top-ranked prospect Sasha Brun-Wibaux is out to prove that girls can hold their own on the track against the boys, until a nasty crash thwarts her chances for victory. Plus, rock star driver David Malukas shows why he’s considered the next in line for pro-racing stardom. Each week, these drivers and their families go full throttle in pursuit of the racing holy grail: a national ranking and a shot at becoming a pro driver.

truTV has ordered 10 one-hour episodes of Kart Life, which is being produced for the network by Bodega Pictures.
