The 2024 NASCAR season is quickly approaching, which means it’s the perfect time for racing fans to watch the brand-new series called “NASCAR: Full Speed” on Netflix. The five-part series premiered on Netflix on Tuesday, Jan. 30, and follows nine drivers during NASCAR’s 2023 Cup Series playoffs. Among those featured in “NASCAR: Full Speed” are Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Larson, and Ross Chastain.
Fans everywhere can get an intimate look at the lives of these nine drivers ahead of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series. The producers of “NASCAR: Full Speed” on Netflix feature a plethora of well-known names, including NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Connor Schell, who’s known for his work with “30 for 30”.
“This is the most competitive form of motorsport on the planet,” NASCAR Senior Vice President and Chief Digital Officer Tim Clark said. “People are going to see it up close and see the beating and the banging and the aggressiveness of the drivers, but also the skill of the drivers – and what they’re able to do with a race car [driving at] 200 miles an hour, around 38 other race cars, hitting the same spot for 400 miles.”
