The cast of 5 vibrant, young guys and girls have been relentlessly coached and rehearsed by the cool, rock star veteran, creating a flawless, electrifying theatrical show. SLAMM is featured in an original video for ESPN's NASCAR TV broadcasts where the SLAMM cast "plays" a Nascar garage. This video is seen by 3 million people every week during race season on ESPN.
