Two retired Memphis firefighters, Mark Graham and Larry Crawford, are competing as contestants on The Amazing Race which premiered Wednesday on CBS.
The longtime best friends, who have shared nearly 40 years of friendship, are racing around the world in hopes of winning the grand cash prize in Season 37.
“People don’t realize almost 50,000 people apply every year for this show, and they hired 28, so it’s a pretty big honor to be accepted,” Graham said.
Graham, a Bartlett resident, also received a shoutout from the Bartlett Police Department, reminding Memphians to tune in and support the duo on their journey.
