The race cars supplied for both "Part 1" and "Part 2" of "Undercover Dukes" were supplied by Labonte's racing team owner, [[Billy Hagan (racing driver)|Billy Hagan]]. However, the emblems of the sponsors of the cars (at that time Labonte was sponsored by [[Budweiser]]) were covered to avoid paying royalties. ====The celebrity speed trap==== During the show's second season, the show's writers began incorporating a "celebrity speed trap" into some of the episodes, as a means to feature top [[country music|country]] stars of the day performing their hits. On its first couple of instances, the "speed trap" was featured early in the story, but for most of the cases, it was featured in the last few minutes of an episode, often used when the main story was running too short to fill episode time. The "celebrity speed trap" feature was essentially the same each time: Aware that a big-name country star was passing through the area, Boss Hogg would order Rosco to lower the speed limit on a particular road to an unreasonable level (using a reversible sign, with one speed limit on one side and another, far lower, on the back), so that the targeted singer would be in violation of the posted limit. The singer would be required to give a free performance at the Boar's Nest in exchange for having their citations forgiven; the performer would then perform one of their best-known hits or other popular country music standard, while the Dukes, Boss, Rosco, Enos, Cletus, Cooter, and other patrons whooped and hollered in enjoyment of the performance. More often than not, the performer would give a sarcastic parting shot to Boss and Rosco. Singers who were featured in the "speed trap" segments were: {{div col |colwidth=18em}} * [[Hoyt Axton]] * [[Donna Fargo]] * [[Freddy Fender]] * [[Doug Kershaw]] (on the original soundtrack) * [[The Oak Ridge Boys]] (twice) * [[Roy Orbison]] * [[Buck Owens]] * [[Johnny Paycheck]] (lip-syncing an original recording) * [[Mel Tillis]] * [[Dottie West]] * [[Tammy Wynette]] * [[Waylon Jennings]] (the show's narrator) {{div col end}} '''Honorable mentions''': [[Mickey Gilley]], [[Loretta Lynn]] Gilley's and Lynn's appearances were not solely for the celebrity speed trap. After performing a concert in Hazzard, Gilley was nabbed while leaving and forced to do a second show to nullify his citation. Loretta Lynn was kidnapped by criminals wanting to break into the music business. Lynn was the very first country music guest star on the show in 1979 and had an entire episode dedicated to her, titled "Find Loretta Lynn". [[Janie Fricke]] was the only country music guest star who did not perform a song, celebrity speed trap or otherwise. She played an accomplice to a robber who hid money in the dashboard of the car that was to become the ''General Lee''.
