A large set of wheels can be an effective zombie slaying weapon with a fearless person behind the wheel. After premiering last Friday, The Asylum's apocalyptic TV series, Z Nation, returns tonight with a blood-splattered vengeance, and we have an exclusive clip from the show's second episode that shows a massive truck turning the living dead into roadkill.

Episode 2: “Fracking Zombies"
"When the survivors run out of fuel, they must embark on a dangerous mission to replenish their source."

"From The Asylum, the producers of Sharknado and Sharknado 2: The Second One, Z Nation starts three years after the zombie virus has gutted the country. A team of everyday heroes must transport the only known survivor of the plague from New York to California, where the last functioning viral lab waits for his blood. Although the antibodies he carries are the world’s last, best hope for a vaccine, he hides a dark secret that threatens them all. With humankind’s survival at stake, the ragtag band embarks on a journey of survival across three thousand miles of rusted-out post-apocalyptic America."

Z Nation stars Harold Perrineau (Lost, Oz), Tom Everett Scott (Beauty and the Beast, Southland), DJ Qualls (Road Trip, Supernatural), Michael Welch (The Twilight trilogy), Kellita Smith (The Bernie Mac Show), Anastasia Baranova (The Darkness II), Russel Hodgkingson (Big Fish) and Keith Allan (Rise of the Zombies). The show is executive produced by Karl Schaefer (Eerie Indiana, Eureka, The Dead Zone), who is also the showrunner.
