New England Patriots Star Joins Target IndyCar Team for Episode Scheduled to Air in December

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Target Chip Ganassi Racing (TCGR) opened their garage to New England Patriot Junior Seau and the crew of Versus’ new series Sports Jobs at Infineon Raceway in August as Seau joined 2008 IndyCar Champion and Indianapolis 500 Winner Scott Dixon’s pit crew for the weekend.

In addition to his duties serving as a member of Team Target’s No. 9 pit crew in the IndyCar race, the new Versus series, similar to Discovery’s Dirty Jobs, will follow Seau as he finds out just how hard it is to work behind the scenes across different teams and different sports.

The half-hour series begins December 2nd and will air at 10 p.m. ET on Wednesdays. Versus has ordered 10 episodes and the Team Target episode is scheduled as the third show, Dec. 16th.
