In the world of daredevil car stunts, the difference between 60 mph and 65 mph is 10-15 feet, several broken bones, or the difference between life and death. "American Daredevils" tells the stories of several of these thrill seekers. The docu-series premieres at 9 p.m. CT Oct. 22 on History Channel.
