The five-episode docuseries NASCAR: Full Speed is available now for streaming on Netflix, as it dropped on Tuesday, Jan. 30, and just in time for millions of NASCAR hungry fans who are awaiting the new season.
The series covers the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs and focuses in on the main challengers for the championship, including Bristol Motor Speedway’s Bass Pro Shops Night Race winner Denny Hamlin, who is in hot pursuit of a season crown which has eluded him to this point in his career.
Hamlin was featured prominently in the first two episodes as his team worked through several challenges in the first two post-season races before dramatically turning the tide during the Round of 16 elimination race at Thunder Valley.
The legendary all-concrete high-banks at Bristol Motor Speedway also played a pivotal role in the season outcomes for both Bubba Wallace and Joey Logano.
In addition to that trio of drivers, the show also focuses on William Byron, Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, Ross Chastain, Tyler Reddick and Christopher Bell, taking a behind the scenes look at their lives and weeklong routines between races as they battle for championship glory.
Several media members were also featured prominently in the show to provide their analysis and commentary, including NBC’s Dale Earnhardt Jr., ESPN’s Marty Smith and FOX’s Shannon Spake.
For diehard fans it will be hard not to binge the whole season in one sitting. In fact, many, including Earnhardt Jr., were already pressing Netflix for a Season 2.
