FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
METAL2METAL ANNOUNCES FIFTH EVENT
Live Broadcast to Feature Figure 8
Races, Mini-Car Football
Los Angeles, CA
– June 11, 2010 – On June
19th METAL2METAL will give football fans pining for pigskin a chance to
experience their favorite sport on a whole new level through the fifth
live broadcast in the METAL2METAL demolition derby television series,
featuring 30-40 cars competing in traditional events such as demolition
derbies, rollovers, and Figure 8 races along with an exciting new
motorsport: mini-car football.
Mini-car football
combines the competitive nature of America’s favorite pastime with
classic derby destruction. METAL2METAL announcer Patrick Duncan
describes the event: “There are about eight [cars] on each team, and
they take a really small Volkswagen Bug and paint it up like a football
. . . the goal of each team is to get the ‘football’ across the goal
line. Usually every car that enters gets pretty wrecked!”
Dudley Disastro, DDL
Commissioner, considers the live broadcast, offered exclusively through
the official DDL website, even more exciting than seeing the event in
person: “On the broadcast we get to know a lot of the behind-the-scenes
info: what are the rivalries, why are two cars teaming up, etc. The
announcers know the history, the players, all the ways that the event is
put together so they are able to bring that unique insider view that you
don’t get at any other live event.”
“METAL2METAL” is a
co-production of
DemoDerbyUSA.com
and the DEMOLITION DERBY LEAGUE. Sponsoring partners for the production
include the Kitsap Destruction Derby Association, WestSound Community
Television, Thunderbird Stadium, Kitsap County Parks & Recreation

ABOUT DEMOLITION DERBIES
A demolition derby is a competitive, combative motorsport in which
drivers deliberately and repeatedly crash motorized vehicles into each
other, on a racetrack or in an enclosed area, with the winner being the
last vehicle still moving after all others have been disabled.
Oftentimes, these events are held at county fairs and festivals as
entertainment, with the winner receiving cash, prizes or an awards cup.
Variations include figure 8, enduro, banger, roll-over, Siamese, train,
and other racing styles with some drivers, over a long career, even
reaching icon status. Terms commonly used within the industry include
sandbagger, destruction derby, metal mayhem, roll-over, points system
and championship.
