I always go to Resort World, where I know the pit boss.

Baskerville, a “Bachelor” stalwart who has also worked on such high-profile reality series as “America’s Next Top Model” and “Pit Boss,” will step into the role at a crucial time for the franchise.

These programs included "Pit Boss," a series that follows Luigi "Shorty" Rossi, a "little person with a big heart," as the show's tagline goes, who rescues pit bulls that are often bigger than him; "Pit Bulls and Parolees," a self-explanatory series about the life-altering relationship between the recently incarcerated and their dogs; as well as the National Geographic Channel's dog obedience show "The Dog Whisperer with Caesar Milan," which often featured Milan's own pit bulls, Daddy and Junior, as well as redemption narratives for other ill-behaved pit bulls.

Despite being the official grill of NASCAR, Pit Boss Grills couldn’t afford to sponsor a front-running racer, which is reported to cost up to $35 million.

“Alberto is like the pit boss in an Indy 500 crew,” Dave Frank, Rupp’s coach at Central Catholic High School in Portland, Ore., told Brant for an article in Runners World magazine.
