NASCAR Full Speed review: Will the Netflix docuseries elevate the sport?
In NASCAR Full Speed, the docuseries aims to portray stock car racing in a way similar to Drive to Survive, showcasing the lives of drivers and their battles on the track. The hope is that it will attract a larger audience and break stereotypes associated with the sport. NASCAR is already popular among US viewers, but they are actively seeking to engage the younger demographic, who are looking for stars in the sport. The docuseries aims to highlight the personalities of current drivers and give viewers a reason to root for or against them. The show starts by portraying the drivers as gladiators in a high-speed arena and sets the tone for the series. Denny Hamlin, who embraces the role of NASCAR’s villain, features prominently, with his pursuit of a Cup Series championship as the centerpiece of his story. The commentary from experts such as Dale Earnhardt Jr. adds depth to the storytelling. William Byron’s story stands out as it explores the transition from simulation racing to real-life racing.
