UPDATE 10/24/18: CMT has announced the premiere dates for their winter lineup. Fans can catch Racing Wives when it premieres Thursday, January 3 at 9 pm ET/PT, with season two of Music City airing right after at 10 pm. The network will also take on the revival of Wife Swap, which kicks off Thursday, February 28 at 9 pm ET/PT.

CMT is dialing up the drama for its upcoming year with a brand new, unscripted television show, Racing Wives.

Picked up for eight, hour-long episodes, the series will feature a group of women married to world famous race car drivers. The show will give a behind-the-scenes look at the glitzy lives these ladies lead in Lake Norman, North Carolina.

The cast will feature sisters-in-law Ashley and Samantha Busch, married to Kurt and Kyle Busch, as well as Austin Dillon’s wife and former cheerleader Whitney Ward Dillon. Also appearing in the show is Amber Balcaen, an aspiring NASCAR driver who left everything behind in Canada, including her boyfriend, to pursue her dream of racing.
