"My reasons for wanting to do this show were purely selfish -- I love the mystique and eeriness of abandoned things, especially when those things are race tracks," Earnhardt said. "(Co-host) Matthew (Dillner) and I have been mapping the locations of abandoned tracks for years, and I always wanted to explore them.
"But this experience made me realize pretty quickly that, like everything else in life, there is more to it than just what you see. We learned there were unsung heroes, remarkable feats, incredible memories, checkered pasts and unhealed wounds that still needed attention."
The eight-episode series begins in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Earnhardt takes a trip to Metrolina Speedway to seek clarity about an age-old family mystery. After visiting tracks across the country throughout the series, Earnhardt will offer up exclusive access to the viewer -- a tour of his race car graveyard and abandoned dirt track in Mooresville, North Carolina. "Nothing is lost that can't be found," Earnhardt Jr. said earlier this year when explaining this series. "Nothing exists that can't be cherished."
