MLS Players Compete in Conti’s ‘What’Cha Got’ Series

WhatChaGot2015_Continental_Shot_SliderFourteen Major League Soccer players traded in their cleats for the chance to drive a 2015 Lamborghini for the second “What’Cha Got” video series, presented by Continental Tire the Americas.

During the 14-part series hosted by TUDOR United SportsCar Championship driver, Townsend Bell, seven athletes from the east and seven athletes from west will navigate a closed-circuit autocross court, shoot-out style. Eventually two players will be left to compete for a year-long lease of the Lamborghini fitted with Conti’s ContiSportContact 5P.

Last year, Chicago Fire goalie Sean Johnson, won the keys to the 2014 Lamborghini.

The series will premier July 29 on Fox Sports 1 during the AT&T MLS All-Star game and continue as part of the “Soccer Sunday” lineup.
