Netflix releases a behind the scenes show on Bubba Wallace and 23XI Racing

This week, Netflix dropped a new series on Bubba Wallace Jr. and the 23XI Racing team. The show, titled 'RACE: Bubba Wallace', gives an in-depth look at what happens weekly in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Filming for the series took place during Wallace Jr.'s 2021 season and features storylines from all over the race team. Notable people on the show were Denny Hamlin, the team owner, Mike Wheeler, the crew chief of the #23 Toyota, and spotter Freddie Kraft. The show has six episodes and shows a few races across the season. Camera crews would conduct meetings with Hamlin and Wallace Jr., while the rest of the team had meetings week after week.

The show also sheds light on how Wallace Jr. became a racecar driver in his youth — talking about his relationship with his parents and introducing himself to auto racing. Wallace Jr.'s 2020 season is an important part of the show, where he spoke up for the Black Lives Matter movement.

Netflix has taken great pains to show Wallace Jr.'s emotions as NASCAR's lone black driver. Special attention is paid to when he shares every step of what happened as he helped get rid of the Confederate flag from being allowed on racetracks.
