NASCAR and Netflix announced that there will be a new racing series coming out next year produced by Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The series is already in production but one driver feels that some drivers won’t be their true selves during filming.
Bubba Wallace is concerned that some drivers will not show their true personalities during the series.
“I was like, ‘look, guys, it’s only going to work if you’re yourself, if you want to shut down and say, the car was fast, car was loose, car was tight, then it’s a waste of time’,” he told them. “You know, everybody is not okay with being around cameras, right?”
Wallace thinks the best material will come when drivers are just being themselves.
“If you’re in there just a cardboard cookie cutter cutout, then it’s just like, ‘this isn’t real, this isn’t, you’ and a lot of people struggle with that,” he said.
“I hope people that are a part of it can be themselves and enjoy it and not be so buttoned up. Hell, who wants to be but buttoned up anyways. Right. So lame,” he added.
Hopefully, drivers and their crew will take Wallace’s advice and be themselves, and fans will see a part of the sport not seen before which could make this series really enjoyable.
