Along with the traditional NBA All-Star Saturday events this week in Charlotte, TNT’s television coverage will include something else: drag racing.
At 5 p.m. on Saturday, before Saturday’s dunk contest, three-point contest and skills competition, TNT will air the All-Star Motor Sports Challenge, a drag racing-style competition held at Charlotte’s zMax Dragway.
It features Turner’s All-Star NBA personalities — Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith, Baron Davis, Ernie Johnson, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Candace Parker and Kristen Ledlow — alongside NHRA drivers John Force, Brittany Force, Antron Brown and Erica Enders.
