(New York) - Velocity's hit series AMERICARNA returns to television next month with NASCAR legend Ray Evernham leading viewers through revolutionary moments in automotive culture. In the all-new season, premiering Thursday, March 3 at 9 PM ET/PT, Evernham opens the door to stories involving amazing cars and celebrity superstars. Ray explores the fascinating details behind the disastrous sinkhole that swallowed the showroom at the National Corvette Museum and visits with car loving A-list celebrities such as country music star Tim McGraw, racing legend Dan Gurney and blue's musician Joe Bonamassa.

"This new season of AMERICARNA offers more exclusive, captivating stories than ever before," said Robert Scanlon, General Manager of Velocity and Automotive Content.

He has greater access to industry insiders and headline makers to bring extraordinary stories to the AMERICARNA series."

"I can't wait for Velocity's viewers to come along with me for another season of exploring the most interesting car stories America has to offer," said Evernham. "I'm interviewing passionate car people from the music and racing industries, drag racing vintage hot rods on the beach, witnessing Corvettes that were destroyed by sinkholes being brought back to life and much, much more. Young, old, male or female, AMERICARNA will have a little something for everyone."

Season three of AMERICARNA, world premiering Tuesday, March 3 at 9 PM ET/PT, begins with the special one-hour story of the National Corvette Museum sinkhole that made international headlines in 2015.

Evernham also heads to Music City - Nashville, Tenn. - to work with renowned Big Machine Label Group(R) President and CEO Scott Borchetta in sharing his extensive car collection and the story behind each one. From leading the world's biggest independent record label (home to artists like Taylor Swift, Florida Georgia Line and Tim McGraw) to serving as Contestant Mentor on FOX's "American Idol", Scott balances his work life with his car passion as he currently is a three-time champion at Nashville Speedway.
