NASCAR fans and the community’s long wait and anticipation were put to an end with the release of the NASCAR: Full Speed docuseries by Netflix. With constant teasers and the launch of the official trailer, the fans were expecting a power-packed, fresh and thrilling encounter and that is exactly what they were served. The backdrop of the series revolves around the 2023 Cup Series playoffs which are bundled into five episodes.

For a well-thought-out series that packages such intense drama and behind-the-scenes action, five episodes are easily digested leaving the viewer wanting for more. This sentiment was even conveyed by the legend Dale Earnhardt Jr himself, who also went to the extent of asking his followers for suggestions regarding the Full Speed season 2.

Five episodes are not enough!

Each episode holds its own while also building momentum for the next one. The anticipation really seeps in from the very first episode ‘Playoffs or Bust’, which is then followed by the second episode titled ‘Another Gear’, that showcases playoffs action at the Darlington Raceway and Kansas Speedway. While notgiving out spoilers, the third episode ‘One Last Push’ sees drivers get into the thick of things.

Whereas, the fourth ‘Not In the Plan’ and the finale episode, ‘Across The Line’ prove to be the edge-of-seat experience for the viewers. And just like that, in the thick of getting to know more about the drivers, and wanting more from the series, it’s done. Although, there are no official announcements about the Full Speed Season 2 yet, Dale Jr has already initiated the trend it seems.

Taking on his X account, Dale Earnhardt Jr wrote, “Let me know what ya think! Too early to start suggestions for season 2? 😀” With the promise of delivering a never-before-seen perspective of the NASCAR drivers, the real raw emotions in an unfiltered form has lived up to its billing. Netflix and NASCAR sure delivered on the quality aspect but forgot to weigh in on the quantity metric.
