IndyCar: Michael Andretti to appear on Celebrity Apprentice reality-TV show
9:21 pm, January 4, 2012
Izod IndyCar Series team owner and former CART champion Michael Andretti was confirmed on Wednesday as a cast member for NBC's Celebrity Apprentice, a reality show hosted by Donald Trump.
Andretti is one of 18 contestants for the show that premieres on Feb. 12. Others include Teresa Guidice of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, the Incredible Hulk's Lou Ferrigno and supermodel Cheryl Tiegs.
The Andretti tie-in is the rebranded NBC Sports Channel--known formerly as Versus--which airs a large portion of the Izod IndyCar Series' schedule.
Speaking of Andretti Autosport, the team so far has two drivers under contract for 2012: Ryan Hunter-Reay and Marco Andretti.
Michael Andretti has said his Indianapolis-based team plans to field four cars again. James Hinchcliffe, who was last year's top rookie, is believed to be one of the other two drivers.
