Plot Synopsis

Each week in the demolition derby arena in Belle, Missouri, the scrappy Outsiders team challenges local derby legend and reigning champions, the Belle Boys, to a series of six derbies. Every week, the two teams battle it out in a deeply personal fight for automotive supremacy in their grizzled, souped-up derby cars. AMERICAN WRECKERS premiered on Sunday, September 13, 2020 from 9am-Noon ET/PT, as History Channel debuted three back-to-back episodes:

"Deja Vu Again" (10am): After the Faulkner Brothers turn against their Belle Boy teammates in the last derby to claim the prize, the entire Belle team is left with major repair work before their second derby of the season.

And can the Belle Boys control their teammate Chad or will he continue to go rouge?

"Going Rogue" (11am): It's the halfway point in the derby battle between The Belle Boys and The Outsiders. Though the Belle Boys emerge victorious from round two, their cars take some serious damage. To win, they attempt a secret strategy. Meanwhile, The Outsiders, realize their weak link could be their captain. Will they mutiny, or will this be his moment to step up for a win?
