DESCRIPTION:
(from USA Network's web site, September 2022) A bold and groundbreaking docuseries that showcases the greatest drivers in the world, fighting for the NASCAR Championship during the high-stakes, pressure-filled NASCAR Playoffs - all from an exclusive and unprecedented insider’s perspective, on and off the track. The follow-doc series will take viewers deep into the world of NASCAR with the passion and perils of the sport as Drivers and Teams lay it all on the line for a chance to make history. The playoffs have built in milestones that will determine who advances and eliminating who doesn’t make the cut. Each race is retold in an action movie aesthetic, illustrated with cinematic highlights, unique camera angles, driver and team wire audio and energetic music score. The viewer will follow the action with all 16 drivers as they fight to survive and advance. And then continue with drivers as they return home between the races, giving the viewers a docu-style inside look at their lives off the track. From parenting and family barbecues in the backyard, to fishing trips and pick-up basketball with their fellow competitors, we will get an all-access three-dimensional look at the biggest stars of motor sport. Each week we detail the planning and preparation of playoff teams with a big focus on their personalities and life outside the track. By focusing on the human angle, the audience invests in these characters and cares not just about the race, but the personal journey that fuels it.
