About Richard Rawlings
Richard Rawlings is the star of The Discovery Channel's international hit series "Fast N' Loud." In each episode, motor mastermind Rawlings searches the far flung corners of Texas and surrounding states for forgotten and derelict classic cars to buy and restore at his Gas Monkey Garage in Dallas. Working day and night, he turns the cars into a bad ass ride and takes them to auction.

Aside from his garage and television show, Rawlings is a savvy business man, turning the Gas Monkey Garage into a full-fledged brand, branching out into merchandise and becoming a social media maverick, boasting more than 2 million Facebook likes, 3.4 million YouTube views and 275,000-plus Twitter followers. He also is a restaurateur and owns the wildly successful Gas Monkey Bar N' Grill, which opened a second location in spring 2014. This new venture, Gas Monkey Live, is a state-of-the art music venue across the street from Gas Monkey Bar N' Grill.

About Motley Crue
Hailing from Los Angeles, the quartet — Vince Neil (vocals), Mick Mars (guitars), Nikki Sixx (bass) and Tommy Lee (drums) — has commandeered the rock pantheon for more than 30 years. In that time, they have accumulated worldwide album sales exceeding 80 million, seven platinum or multiplatinum albums, 22 Top 40 mainstream rock hits, six Top 20 pop singles, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, three Grammy nominations, four New York Times bestsellers (including the band's biography, "The Dirt") and countless sold out tours across the globe, playing to millions of fans. Motley Crue was the first rock band in history to have completed an epic sold-out Las Vegas residency at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. The band continues to remain on the forefront of entertainment, reinventing themselves via not only their music but also their mind blowing live shows featuring never seen before elements, such as Tommy Lee's drum roller coasters. In January 2014 the band announced their "Final Tour," presented by Dodge and produced by Live Nation, which will run through 2015 and span major cities across the globe. They also announced their bestselling biography, "The Dirt," being made into a movie directed by Jeff Tremaine and anticipated to be hitting theaters in 2015.
