(Concord, NC) -  Lafferty Motorsports, Pier 89 Productions and Fox Sports Network will officially debut “Chris Lafferty’s Motorsports TV” on Saturday, December 31st, 2011 at 7AM/ET.

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver and owner Chris Lafferty will host the show. Lafferty spoke recently on the upcoming series premiere. “I am so excited to host this show,” says Lafferty. “It has been a lot of work getting to this point!”

FOX Sports Network (FSN) is owned by the mega network FOX, reaching more than 80 million homes nationally. Major FOX owned networks include FOX Sports, SPEED, and FX.

“Chris Lafferty’s Motorsports TV” is a magazine style motorsports TV show. Lafferty brings new life to learning cool things in the motorsports industry.  With an uncanny ability to say it in ways that those young and old alike can relate to, this is sure to be the sought-after performance educational television show.

You'll get an inside look at the world of racing and see what only the privileged few have ever seen.  Lafferty will take you behind-the-scenes through race shops; he will visit with manufacturers who have been instrumental in motorsports; he will show you how NASCAR uses templates to keep a level playing field and he will even dissect high dollar racing engines just to teach you how they make power.

Episode One will also mark Hannah Lafferty’s TV debut as she, Lafferty’s daughter, will host a segment titled “Hannah’s Corner” which will feature topics that are a bit more kid friendly.

Lafferty came to a cross roads early in life. He was either going to Hollywood to chase television, or North Carolina to chase NASCAR. He chose NASCAR and moved to North Carolina, homeless and without a job. After making it work in NASCAR, Lafferty still had that itch for television. Lafferty created this show and serves as producer. Also serving as producer is Paul Streiner, famously known for his award winning short films. Streiner is a television film graduate of Bowling Green University. The rest of the cast include actor Jamie Caron, local talent sensation Marvin Curry and the legendary Rob Godek.

Bebida Beverage Company (OTCmarkets: BBDA) (BeBevCo), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of relaxation and energy drinks, will promote their flagship product, the KOMA UNWIND Relaxation Drink as the Show’s Title Sponsor. Other partners for the show include; DIYAutoTune.com, Blue Ox, NASCAR® SpeedPark and Lafferty Motorsports.

(Concord, NC) - Okay, so maybe Chris Lafferty didn’t personally win a prize from the South Carolina Education Lottery on Wednesday, but it sure felt like it.  Chris Lafferty, owner and driver of Lafferty Motorsports, will be sponsored by the South Carolina Education Lottery at Darlington this Saturday.

Lafferty, who competes in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, will have the South Carolina Education Lottery as his primary sponsor. The sponsorship will also include driver and show truck appearances for the South Carolina Education Lottery’s promotional events for the May Nationwide and Sprint Cup races at Darlington.

“We are excited to have the South Carolina Education Lottery on board for Darlington,” says Lafferty. “Education is very important to us all, and I am thrilled that we are able to promote such a responsible and honest organization.”

“The South Carolina Education Lottery logo is going to look great on Chris’ truck this weekend,” said the Lottery’s Executive Director Paula Harper Bethea.  “NASCAR and the Education Lottery make for a winning combination, and we know Chris will represent our brand well.”

In fiscal year 2009-2010 alone, the South Carolina Education Lottery transferred more than $272 million to educational programs.  Since the Lottery began in 2002, more than $2.2 billion has been transferred to the Education Lottery Account to benefit South Carolina’s students. The South Carolina Education Lottery remains committed to enhancing educational funding in South Carolina through fun and entertaining games offered to adults.

Lafferty Motorsports is primarily involved in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.  Besides racing, the Concond, N.C. based team has an elite engine building program and a proven driver development program.
