Tony Stewart Secures $15.5M Netflix Deal for Eldora Speedway Dirt Racing Film
Netflix has officially inked a $15.5 million deal with motorsports icon Tony Stewart to bring the legendary Eldora Speedway to screens worldwide. But this isn’t just another racing documentary—it’s a cinematic adrenaline rush, a full-throttle tribute to the dirt racing empire that helped define grassroots American motorsports.
Set against the roaring backdrop of Eldora’s high-banked clay oval, the film promises to capture the raw energy, fierce rivalries, and untold stories that shaped decades of dirt track dominance. Stewart, a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and the owner of Eldora since 2004, is bringing viewers behind the curtain like never before. With unprecedented access to archival footage, intimate interviews, and edge-of-your-seat race sequences, the project aims to honor the gritty soul of racing while exploring the human stories buried beneath the mud and glory.
“Eldora isn’t just a racetrack—it’s a living, breathing part of racing history,” said Stewart. “This film is about the people, the passion, and the moments that made it iconic.”
The project will also dive into the roots of major rivalries, showcase breakout legends, and revisit iconic races that put Eldora on the map. Expect never-before-seen content, emotional storytelling, and the kind of unfiltered, high-octane drama that only dirt racing can deliver.
Slated for release in 2026, the film marks Netflix’s biggest motorsports documentary investment to date and underscores the platform’s growing appetite for high-impact sports storytelling. For fans of speed, legacy, and raw competition, this is more than a film—it’s a landmark moment for racing culture.
Buckle up. Eldora is coming to life like never before.
