I don't support the idea that you need fake drama to be popular on television in every instance. In particular when the network is automotive related. I get why it's done when the shows are on Discovery or TLC. Those networks are trying to have a broad appeal. The show before or after yours could have nothing to do with automotive's, so the fake drama will keep those who don't care about the subject tuned in to watch the personality train wreck. But, Velocity is an automotive channel. They are trying to build an audience who understand and appreciate the subject matter - there is no need for the fake drama!
