"We’ve covered AAIW before," said Kevin Judge, Brenton Productions VP of Sales and Marketing, "But it was usually just worked into an episode of Two Guys Garage or TRUCK U. This year we’ll be producing a free-standing hour-long special for SPEED, and our sponsors are happy to take advantage of this sponsorship opportunity."

"This year’s special should be a blast," said Sam Memmolo, co-host of Two Guys Garage. He added, "We’ve got a whole hour to cover the latest advances in the automotive aftermarket. There’s so much to show viewers, so much to see… it should be a great show."

"We’re psyched to cover SEMA and AAPEX for SPEED this year," said Matt Steele, co-host of TRUCK U. "We always have a blast getting footage at SEMA, but this year we were able to cover even more than we have in the past. It was a great week."
