“Like to Keep Things Real” – Bubba Wallace Excited for Netflix Docu-Series on Debut NASCAR Season With 23XI Racing

Bubba Wallace and 23XI Racing’s debut NASCAR season has been one of the biggest talking points this year. While the on-track performances are there for everyone to see, fans will soon get a deep insight into everything that goes on behind the scenes.

Netflix announced that it is producing a documentary series with Wallace about his time at 23XI Racing in the 2021 season. Wallace is the only African-American driver currently in the Cup Series. His monumental efforts off the race track will also be showcased in the docu-series.

23XI Racing is also one of the most followed NASCAR teams, given the inclusion of Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin as co-owners. The Netflix film will take fans behind the scenes at 23XI Racing and how Wallace and the team are working through the new season.

An excited Wallace said that he is always ‘real and raw’ and is happy to partner with Netflix. The streaming platform is yet to announce a title and release date for the series.

Netflix documentary with Bubba Wallace is huge for NASCAR

This is the first-ever NASCAR-based documentary on Netflix. Earlier this year, the comedy show ‘The Crew’ debuted on Netflix, which is based on a fictional NASCAR team and its journey in the sport.

Wallace’s documentary will bear some resemblance to the ‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’ series on Netflix that has already gained a lot of following and attention. The behind-the-scenes series goes deeper into the world of F1.

Wallace already has one of the fastest-growing fanbases in NASCAR. The docu-series is expected to garner further attention towards the sport, bringing newer fans.

It was earlier reported that NASCAR’s entertainment marketing group was working on many new projects. This includes various shows and docu-series. Netflix’s Bubba Wallace documentary is the first step in that direction.
