Netflix Announces Dale Earnhardt Jr. Documentary Focused on Daytona 500 Effort
Racing fans have reason to celebrate as Netflix has officially announced a new documentary centered on Dale Earnhardt Jr. and JR Motorsports’ highly anticipated participation in the Daytona 500. The documentary will provide an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Earnhardt Jr.’s return to the Cup Series garage in a leadership role as JR Motorsports attempts to field a car for NASCAR’s biggest race.
Earnhardt Jr., a two-time Daytona 500 winner and one of the most beloved figures in motorsports history, has long expressed interest in taking JR Motorsports to the NASCAR Cup Series. With this project, Netflix aims to capture the excitement, challenges, and emotions surrounding the team’s efforts to make its Daytona 500 debut. Viewers will get an inside look at the decision-making process, car preparation, and the high-stakes drama of qualifying for the prestigious race.
Netflix has found success in recent years with sports documentaries such as *Formula 1: Drive to Survive* and *Full Swing*, and this latest project is expected to bring NASCAR fans closer to the action than ever before. With Earnhardt Jr.’s deep connection to Daytona—where his father, Dale Earnhardt Sr., tragically lost his life in 2001—the film is sure to carry an added layer of emotion and significance.
While an official release date has yet to be announced, anticipation is already building for what promises to be a compelling look at one of NASCAR’s most intriguing storylines. Whether JR Motorsports can successfully qualify for the Great American Race remains to be seen, but fans will soon have an all-access pass to the journey thanks to Netflix.
