On the Rise to Air on MAVTV
MAVTV – the world’s premier media platform for passion-fueled motorsports, powersports and automotive programming – has announced that four highly anticipated episodes of “On the Rise” will premiere tonight.

Each episode follows a different driver chasing the dream of competing at the highest level.
“The future of motorsports is bright, and we’re proud to be giving fans an exclusive and in-depth look into the lives, raw talent, challenges and triumphs of some of the most promising young racers – whether it’s in NASCAR’s ARCA series to Supercross and everything in between,” said MAVTV President CJ Olivares. “The next episodes are as compelling as ever, touching stock cars, dirt bikes and open-wheel. ‘On the Rise’ further reflects MAVTV’s larger strategic shift toward deeper storytelling and forging a stronger connection between motorsports fans and some of the top athletes and teams outside of just racing on the weekends.”
