PINKS 2.0
The Return of PINKS: A Drag Racing TV Icon Reborn
“Lose the Race… Lose Your Ride.”
That phrase launched a revolution—and now, PINKS is back.
First aired in 2007 on SPEED TV, PINKS was the original automotive reality competition show that flipped the drag racing world on its head. Created by Rich Christensen, the series introduced a high-stakes, street-style format where racers battled for pink slips—the titles to their cars—bringing raw, unscripted drama to the starting line. It wasn’t just about horsepower—it was about guts, negotiation, and pride.
PINKS helped shape the blueprint for modern-day motorsports reality TV, paving the way for hits like Street Outlaws. It created legends, revived grassroots drag racing, and turned weekend warriors into household names.
Now, nearly two decades later, the legacy continues…
Introducing: PINKS 2.0
The iconic show is getting a full-throttle reboot with a new format, new host, and new home on the streaming network POWERtube TV.
New Format: King of the Hill
In PINKS 2.0, the stakes are even higher. Racers will enter a no-holds-barred King of the Hill format, where each round sends one racer home without their ride—and the winner takes it all. The last racer standing could leave with up to seven cars, plus their own, by beating every opponent in their way. This is real racing, real pressure, and real titles on the line.
New Host: Bruno Massel
Bringing fresh energy and championship credentials, Bruno Massel joins the PINKS franchise as the new host. An NHRA world champion and veteran TV personality, Bruno knows the world of racing inside and out—and he’s the perfect voice to guide the next generation of racers through the fire.
New Network: POWERtube TV
The new era of PINKS will air exclusively on POWERtube TV, the streaming network dedicated to real-deal automotive content. With national distribution across Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, Android TV, mobile apps, and the web, POWERtube TV is bringing racing back to the fans—with no cable needed.
