SPECIAL GUESTS SPECIAL GUESTS The concept of television has existed for well over 100 years in one form or another. What has remained constant through the years is that a hit TV program can do more to carry on the legend of its stars, cars and characters than anyone could have ever imagined. A prime example of a TV program far outliving its expectations is Dukes of Hazzard. It’s because of the demand, popularity and loveable nature of the show that the automotive world and mainstream society embrace stars from Dukes at events like the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals. That is why this weekend’s guests, Ben Jones and Catherine Bach, join previous guests James Best (Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane), John Schneider (Bo Duke), Byron Cherry (Coy Duke) and the late Christopher Mayer (Vance Duke). The drawing power for the Dukes is such that in 2011, during a year littered with poor weather at all 10 Carlisle-based shows, John Schneider’s visit saw the biggest one-day attendance spike in the history of the event. So why do the Dukes keep coming to Carlisle and why do people keep coming to see them? “Sometimes the phenomenon amazes us,” noted Dorothy Best, wife of James Best. With both being here in 2010, she continued, “I was told we’d see a big turnout at Carlisle but we were truly surprised at everyone that showed up.” Best concluded by noting, “I don’t know if there is a defi nitive answer as to why the show has been so successful over time, but it and fans like those at Carlisle a few years ago have been very good to us.” From a Carlisle standpoint, event manager Ed Buczeskie has been responsible for booking fi ve of the six Dukes stars. He continues to do so for a myriad of reasons, outlined in a recent conversation: Michael Garland – Why do you book Dukes’ stars? EB – Like many Mopar fans I literally grew up on the Dukes. Watching that Charger every Friday night was partly responsible for my passion for Mopars. It brought the Charger into the public’s eye and it has stood the test of time. RICHARD PETTY PRESENTED BY THE NORTHEAST HEMI OWNERS ASSOCIATION Meet this NASCAR Legend and seven-time Winston Cup Champion! Due to the Daytona NASCAR race on Saturday night of the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals, Petty is only able to appear on Sunday and is scheduled to sign autographs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. An autograph and/or photo opportunity will be free with a paid admission to the event, but due to anticipated high demand, a limited number will be possible. Carlisle Events and representatives from Petty’s Garage will assure that as many people as possible can meet “The King.” MG – What do you think is the draw? EB – A whole generation was raised on the Dukes. It’s not just Mopar people who like it, either. The show crosses brands and is enjoyed by many non-car enthusiasts as well. It was a wholesome show and it was just fun to watch … and still is today. MG – How do you go about landing the guests? EB – Believe it or not, every Dukes cast member at the show in the last fi ve years was presented to me in some fashion; either by an agent, mutual friend or directly. The Dukes of Hazzard celebrities are always popular at the show and as the word spreads among the cast, each of them eventually fi nd themselves here. MG – What are your thoughts for next year? EB – Ideas range from Tom Wopat to “The Hazzard County Cops” to a full Dukes Reunion with all of the remaining cast members. It’s all a matter of budget and not wanting to cause Dukes overload for our guests. CATHERINE BACH ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Catherine Bach is famously known for her role on the long running CBS program the Dukes of Hazzard, due in part to her eye catching looks, country girl charm and namesake Daisy Duke Shorts. Bach has appeared in multiple fi lms and TV programs, beginning with 1974’s The Midnight Man alongside Hollywood icon Burt Lancaster. Other credits include The Love Boat, Cannon Ball Run II, African Skies and most recently Chapman. Bach has also lent her name to a clothing line, CB by Catherine Bach.

From 1989-93 Jones served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Georgia’s 4th District. Most recently, Jones appeared in an episode of the TV show Surface.
