The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season is about to begin with the Daytona 500 in February. And to get fans ready for the new season, Netflix released a new original docuseries called NASCAR: Full Speed. It takes a look at the 2023 season and features top drivers such as Ryan Blaney, William Byron, Ross Chastain, Denny Hamlin, Bubba Wallace, Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell, Joey Logano, and Tyler Reddick.

"This is the most competitive form of motorsport on the planet," NASCAR Senior Vice President and Chief Digital Officer Tim Clark told Netflix's Tudum in January. "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."  

The 2023 season saw Blaney win the Cup Series title. He finished first in the standings, beating Larson, Byron and Bell in the Championship 4 Race in November. Fans have started watching NASCAR: Full Speed and have nothing but great things to say about the series.

Already Asking for Season 2

Another person said: "Great documentary, well worth a watch even if you're not a NASCAR fan... Insightful and not over dramatic... the choice of Black Parade for the closing credits was inspired."

Welcome New Fans

One fan said: "I'm loving it! I admit I didn't care about HMS' 300th win, but William Byron is great in this series, and it was kind of awesome to see how proud he was of giving Mr. Hendrick the 300. Also, Reddick's flippant and unemotional, "it's still on fire," has been my favorite moment."

The 'Love' Button

One fan wrote: "Binged the whole season. Wow! Cool to see that when they get out of those cars, back to the RV or home, and they're just Dad. A husband/partner. A son. A human being."

Easy Binge

A person wrote: "We need more this was what we've been missing for years. One thing I would add was more involvement with the Non playoff drivers like AJ that win at the roval ment so much he doesn't know when he'll get his last cup win and the show was emphasizing that alot."
