SPEED To Debut New Gas Station Game Show: "Pumped!"

I've gotta give the SPEED network credit. They're trying real hard to come up with new original series that appeal to the auto-racing fan audience. "Dumbest Stuff On Wheels," for a reality-type series, is a great concept.

But here's an idea that I think will tank - no pun intended:
http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/474511-Exclusive_SPEED_Orders_Gas_Station_Game_Show.php

"Pumped! is an ambush-style quiz show set at gas stations where customers will compete for a cash prize by answering automotive and pop culture questions..."

"Pumped!" will be hosted by comedian Greg Fitzsimmons. Currently, SPEED also has a car show hosted by Adam Carolla, another comedian. It looks like SPEED is starting to leave the ESPN element and aim for the MTV crowd (the modern-day, music-video-less MTV, of course). If I turn on SPEED and find Byron Allen, though, they've lost me as a viewer!
 
Actually Carolla's "The Car Show" is pretty good, it is what the US version of "Top Gear" should have been.
