Season three of “Big Kenny’s Crank It Up Garage” will follow Big & Rich star Big Kenny and his wingman and producer, Charlie Pennachio, across America as they meet with the builders of various one-of-a-kind motor vehicles and creations – including a military grade monster truck, giant robot, watercraft, and more!
WHO: Circle Network, the award-winning country music and lifestyle network and official TV home of the Grand Ole Opry.
WHAT: This summer, Circle Network is set to bring back one of its most unique and anticipated original programs, “Big Kenny’s Crank It Up Garage,” for a third season, premiering on Thursday, June 29 at 10:30/9:30c. Fueled by an authentic fascination with custom vehicles and unique motorized creations, host Big Kenny of Big & Rich and his producer and wingman, Charlie Pennachio, travel across the United States to scope out and meet with the builders of one-of-a-kind special projects, ranging from vintage cars, boats, robots and more.
To kick off the season, Big Kenny and Charlie will head to Tulsa, Oklahoma to visit builder Chris Wollard and check out his custom-made motorized robot vehicle, one of the more unique creations the duo has visited throughout three seasons of the show. Wollard was inspired to build the robot after he lost one of his closest friends unexpectedly. While checking out the robot, Big Kenny and Charlie notice a unique patch on the arm of the creation, a symbol Wollard placed on it in memory of his friend. The trio then take the robot for a spin around downtown Tulsa, stopping traffic all around the city.
Throughout the season, Big Kenny and Charlie travel to Las Vegas, NV, Nashville, TN, Shasta Lake, CA, and more checking out incredible creations including a military-grade monster truck that’s fueled by cooking oil, a semi-submersible watercraft, and even the incredible Volkswagen collection curated by comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias himself. In full, the season will feature 12, 30-minute episodes, concluding with a ‘best of’ episode where the duo break down their favorite and most iconic moments of season three.
“I couldn’t be more excited to team up with my wingman Charlie again for season three of ‘Crank It Up,’” said host Big Kenny. “Each builder we meet and vehicle or creation we ride together has a unique story alongside it, and it’s thrilling to get to share with the world. There are inspirational undertones to each episode, and I thank Circle Network for bringing us back to share these stories for season three.”
“The energy that Big Kenny and Charlie bring to their show is unmatched,” said Circle Network’s General Manager, Drew Reifenberger. “This is a show for the whole family and I’m excited to bring it back for a third season. Plus, the backstories behind each vehicle, creation or collection are really fun to share, and the duo does a great job of learning all about the lives and inspirations behind each builder and their creation.”
