Advance Auto Parts is co-producing the show with Masters Entertainment Group which means grander production, graphics, vendor participation and animation. Episodes 1-6 will be filmed at Chipola, Aug. 1–5. The new season will air on Velocity beginning in January, 2016.
Chipola’s Gardner is no stranger to the camera. Since 2013, he and fellow automotive instructor Chase Vlieg, have been the national faces for Advance Auto Parts’ team member video training series used by thousands of employees. Gardner says, “I want to thank the college, our advisory committee and industry representatives for supporting me in this project. I am very lucky to have so many friends who have helped me. Chase Vlieg, Chipola’s other automotive instructor, has been my right hand man throughout this whole process.” Gardner mentions that industry support is so critical to the success of our industry and it has been overwhelming positive in our case.
