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.
