'Car Chasers' star will be here for Jeep festival

WORTH TWP — Visitors to the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival this weekend will have a car celebrity in their midst.

Jeff Allen, star of the CNBC series “The Car Chasers” and iTunes podcast “Skidmarks Show” will hit the festival to visit with fans and to do some rugged Jeep riding of his own.

He will arrive today and will be at the Pennzoil area at Cooper’s Lake Campground.

The festival begins tonight at the campground with the first ever “Night Ride.”

It continues at the campground Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

The Jeep Invasion is 6 to 10 p.m. Friday in downtown Butler. “The Car Chasers” ran 33 episodes over three seasons on CNBC from 2013-2015, following Allen and his team, including his wife, Meg Bailey, who make up Flat 12 gallery, a Dallas-based automobile dealership, as they seek out, buy, and resell collectors automobiles.

Allen, a Jeep man, estimated he’s owned 40 Jeeps in his lifetime, and even sold Jeeps for a short period. He will be driving a Pennzoil Jeep that he’s never driven before.
