Daniel Suarez Shares Sneak Peek of ‘NASCAR: Full Speed’ S2
They say, “better late than never,” and Netflix seems to have taken that to heart. While season 1 of “NASCAR: Full Speed” surprised fans with an earlier-than-expected release, the second season took longer than most fans expected. But, finally, the next chapter is here, and fans couldn’t be more ready.
Unlike the first season, the follow-up five-parter takes viewers through the high-stakes battles and personal moments of NASCAR’s elite, like Joey Logano, Ryan Blaney, William Byron, Christopher Bell and Suárez, as they chase championship glory final fray at Phoenix Raceway.
The show also offers a rare glimpse, capturing candid moments of drivers with their families and significant others, including Brittany Logano, Gianna Blaney, Morgan Bell, and Julia Piquet. To amp up the excitement for the premiere, Suarez shared a post on his social media that captures the 33-year-old fully embracing the American dream.
In the short video, the Mexican-born driver is seen with his wife Julia Piquet, as he reflects, “To be able to have everything that I have today and everything that I’ve accomplished in my life, it’s pretty humbling, it’s the American dream, it’s real. He captioned the tweet, “The American Dream is real. I’m proof of it. Season 2 of Full Speed comes out tomorrow on @netflix #FullSpeed.”
