NASCAR has finally pushed out the stars of this generation through its Netflix docuseries, Full Speed. The series promised to be a gripping tale and allowed the fans to develop a deeper connection with their favorite stars. Moreover, with the backdrop of the 2023 Cup Series Playoffs, the on-track action quotient was definitely fulfilled. This certainly was a step in the right direction for NASCAR to introduce American stock car racing and potentially add new fans and followers to the iconic sport.

With just five episodes, Netflix did capture the essence of the NASCAR Cup Series but was not able to bundle the whole package. While the likes of Denny Hamlin, Bubba Wallace, Ryan Blaney, and Ross Chastain took center stage, there were some major absentees from the series. Even runner-up Kyle Larson and two-time champion Kyle Busch were not able to get screen time. Considering it was just a maiden attempt to put out a NASCAR series, there weren’t many complaints by other drivers. This was also the sentiment of 2012 Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski.

Brad Keselowski is not too bothered by not featuring in the Netflix docuseries

This was the first real attempt by NASCAR to put the spotlight on its heroes, the drivers, and they were successful in portraying that. With a list of former legends and current stars, Netflix only hand-picked nine of those drivers.

Considering the series was built on the backdrop of the Playoffs, Brad Keselowski and Chris Buescher could well make a case for their feature.

Bob Pockrass, in a recent interview, asked Keselowski if he was contacted by the Netflix team for the Full Speed docuseries, to which he replied, “No, nobody asked me. You know, I understand they couldn’t do everybody so I’m not like angry about it. I think that program is going to be very successful, and when it is, everybody will kind of get a turn in the line. I didn’t get the turn the first time but I’m not bitter about it.”

Speaking about his 2023 season, the co-owner of the team did pretty well driving the No. 6 Ford throughout the season. It took the veteran racer 11 top-ten wins to confirm his playoff spot. He was winless, though, throughout the whole season. The only time he came close to winning was at the crucial Daytona race in August last year. He finished second, just behind his teammate Chris Buescher.

With the new season about to officially kickstart, NASCAR and the team find themselves in a deadlock situation. The issue at hand is the new charter system. With no consensus yet to be found between the teams and NASCAR, the deal is still pending, thus raising concerns about the future of the series. Giving his two cents on this raging topic, Brad Keselowski believes an agreement will be reached and he will race at next year’s Daytona.

“You need to be a fool not to be somewhat concerned. But the reality is we’re in January of 2024 and it still doesn’t need to get it done till February of 2025. Everybody would like for it to be done but it really doesn’t need to be done earlier than that. The negotiations are tough but at the end of day, I’m confident we’re going to show up to the Daytona 500 and race. I know I’ll be there. We might be racing wheelbarrows, but we’ll be racing, and it’s going to be a great race.” Keselowski said to Bob Pockrass

With the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season in sight, Brad Keselowski and his team will once again try to put their best foot forward and contend for the championship.
