Race: Bubba Wallace

First, lets talk production technical qualities - Sound, Vision, Direction, Editing, Lighting - ALL are excellent, making the episodes easy to watch and listen to, no eye strain or ear strain.

The Story Telling aspect of the Direction, the weaving of documentary with just enough dramatic tension, again, excellent.

From the outside looking in, the view of someone raised outside of the US, this appears to be a well balanced and well presented 'year in the life of', for a person under a great deal of strain, being pulled in many directions by personal history, national history, sporting history, and then current turbulent politics.

For this fan of international motorsport, Bubba Wallace Jr will be added to the list of drivers wanting the best for, even if just because he's inspiring people to chase their dreams.

As an European I was interested in a Nascar docu. This documentary is so much more... a bit too much for my taste.

The non chronological set-up makes it at times difficult to follow. Then you have all the things that are repeated again and again and again and... 3, max 4 episodes would have been sufficiant. If that was the case and they would repeat less stuff I would give it a 9.

But hey, Bubba seems a fine man. I wish he would have gotten a better documentary.

Jack Nicholson's famous phrase from a Few Good Men comes to mind. NASCAR admitted, themselves, the sport began as bootlegging. There are many PROLIFIC reminders, this tv series had to be made.

All the racing events covered in this Docu-series are events I watched live, and yet this documentary still had my heart racing despite the fact that I knew the outcome. Netflix knows how to build the intensity in sports like this. Hats off to NASCAR and Netflix and I definitely hope it leads to more in the future.

Denny Hamlin and Bubba Wallace provide an intricate look into the challenges of managing and figure heading a brand new race team in this docuseries, which focuses on Bubba Wallace's challenges to move through the ranks as a black driver in a predominantly southern, white sport.

Wallace's experiences are both captivating and, at times, gut wrenching, specifically when following his journey as an activist during the summer of 2020, and will compel many fans to a new respect for Wallace and his counterparts, while likely also inspiring further hate from opponents of civil rights.

This docuseries gets a 10 for its ability to inspire productive conversation and fascinate with an inside look in North Americas most popular Motorsport.
