Evel moments before the crash landing at Caesars Palace.

The History Channel is planning 100 documentary shows portraying major events and figures of the last 100 years. The show is called “History 100” and one of the first will be Evel Knievel.

This show will be a three-hour event that not only covers the life of Evel Knievel but will also include the recreation of three of Evel’s most iconic events in three hours. Travis Pastrana will attempt to break Evel’s record by jumping over 50 cars, followed by 14 buses and then the Caesar’s Palace jump.

Of course Travis will have the benefit of modern motorcycle technology in attempting this fearsome task. By using the Indian FTR750 he will have a significant advantage that Evel never did.

The show will debut on Sunday the 8^th of July so have your TV sets on or your DVR set. Get the popcorn and set back for some interesting entertainment.
