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.

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.
