The 2011 General Tire Mint 400 TV Show is a one-hour documentary program produced by Mad Media and directed by The Martelli Brothers that uncovered the intense world of professional off-road racing as told through coverage of the world famous four hundred mile Mint 400 off-road race. It aired on Fuel TV last fall, and both the program and the trailer earned a host of awards including four Silver Tellys (Documentary, Sports Show, Cinematography and Promotional Automotive) and four Bronze Tellys (Editing, Music, Sound Design, and Cinematography). Both also received highly coveted Bronze People's Telly Awards as well.
