Documentary Follows Season at Famed Devil's Bowl

SPEED is ready to "Get Back to Dirt" on Saturday, bringing Jeff Bowden's award-winning documentary to the network for multiple airings.

"Get Back to Dirt" follows a season inside the soul of American racing -- the World Class Street Stocks -- at the legendary Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas. Shot in mixed formats, "Get Back to Dirt" follows seven competitors, including rookie Gayla Jones, the only woman racing at the Bowl.

"(World Class Street Stocks) is the original class at Devil's Bowl," said driver Thomas Weeks. "That's where it all began in a stock car. You took an old car, beat the windows out of it and said 'Okay, you sons-of-bitches, let's have us a race."

Scheduled air times for "Get Back to Dirt" include (more airings may be added):

Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. ET
Oct. 27 at 9:30 p.m. ET
Nov. 3 at 1 p.m. ET
