That part sounds great, but I could do without the beer-swilling, helmet-throwing redneckisms I saw in the trailer. They'd be better off doing a story on Chip Johnson's life -- got the whole rags to ri....er... well, World Champ thing, the family life story, hardship, blahblahblah, all with the southern twang, but without all the redneck.

Now if only he drove a stick.
