"Fast Track To Fame" 5/3

This episode takes place at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Charissa Thompson is back. The guest judge is Australian driver Marcos Ambrose. BTW, the championship show will air on June 7th from Charlotte Motor Speedway.

(Note: Instead of a co-host introducing each act in the past few episodes I've seen, after a video introduction of the act is shown, host Michael Waltrip gives them a formal introduction just before they begin.)
