In 2007, Alex Roy and Dave Maher drove across the United States. They left New York City and arrived in California, needing just 31 hours and 4 minutes to make the trip. That record has since been broken, but it was a big deal when Roy and Maher made their mad dash across the country. Now their story is ready to be fully explored.

Apex: The Secret Race Across America debuts on Sunday October 20th. It will run first on NBC Sports at 9:30 pm ET, but then it will be made available for purchase through iTunes, Amazon, Youtube, and Google Play. The documentary will also make its way to Netflix.

The film contains interviews with a number of people who’ve attempted or held transcontinental records over the years. You can check out the trailer above.

      Then how…? Where…? What…?

      I have so many questions that I don’t know where to begin. But I don’t think that I want to know the answers either.

        Jalop has an article about it. Ed Bolian beat Roy’s record. I won’t knowingly link to a Demuro article so you’ll have to google it.

    For those who like to be seen with a book in their hands, “The Driver” by Roy is an entertaining and hair-raising read about the events.
