On January 31, Netflix premiered “NASCAR: Full Speed,” a five-episode series showcasing the stock car racing championship. With Dale Earnhardt Jr. as executive producer, the show successfully captured the authentic side of NASCAR, gaining significant popularity in its first weeks of streaming.
The series featured many beloved drivers, including [driver names], but surprisingly, some prominent figures in the sport were missing. Two-time Cup champion [driver name] and 2020 champion [driver name] were notably absent. During a recent appearance on Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s podcast, Elliott revealed that he would likely decline an opportunity to be part of the series in 2024.
Chase Elliott is not interested in being constantly followed by Netflix’s camera crew, as it can be frustrating for any driver. However, he acknowledges that this sacrifice is part of the commitment to the show. Elliott does not want to change his regular routine or get involved in other projects.
NASCAR’s Chief Operating Officer, [COO name], emphasized the organization’s desire to promote rising talent in the upcoming season. Developing and promoting new stars is crucial for the sport’s growth.
“We have a group of emerging superstars. It is our responsibility to promote these drivers and make them more well-known. By doing so, I believe the sport will continue to thrive,” said Steve O’Donnell.
NASCAR has a plan and platform to introduce new star drivers and attract potential fans to the series. While it is important to promote new blood, the organization should not overlook the contributions of veteran drivers.
