In an interview with Today, Bubba Wallace opened up about what fans can take away from NASCAR: Full Speed. First off, he acknowledged the tremendous effort, saying, “Hats off to Netflix and NASCAR for coming together and creating something special and something unique for our viewers to be a part of…”

Then he talked about how he coached his teammates to make the show a success. He said, “I told my team and a couple of drivers in our camp to, ‘hey, to make this work, you gotta you know have no filter and just be raw and natural’. I know a lot of people shut down when cameras get on them right, but the most authentic you can be that registers with everybody that’s watching.”

Wallace banked on his own prior filming experience to help his fellow drivers. He said: “The doc [Race: Bubba Wallace] that I did a couple of years ago, I kind of experienced a little bit, and so to kind of see this come to fruition and encouragement from everybody involved was really cool.”
