Tony Stewart, the NASCAR Hall of Famer and co-owner of Eldora Speedway, has landed a major deal with Netflix worth $15.5 million to produce a film that dives deep into the heart of dirt track racing. But this isn’t just a run-of-the-mill sports documentary. It’s being described as an explosive, cinematic tribute to Eldora Speedway—the legendary half-mile clay oval known for its high-speed action and intense rivalries.
The project promises to bring viewers a front-row seat to the adrenaline-charged world of dirt racing, offering not only spectacular racing footage but also revealing stories that have never been told publicly. Stewart, who purchased Eldora in 2004 and has played a major role in revitalizing and expanding its reputation, is serving as a central figure and producer of the film. His firsthand knowledge of the sport, as both a driver and owner, ensures that this production will carry the grit and authenticity fans crave.
The Netflix project is expected to feature archival material, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, and dramatic reenactments that portray the culture, rivalries, and resilience of dirt racing’s most dedicated personalities. From the roar of the engines to the tension in the pits, the film will aim to capture the raw emotion and determination that defines the sport.
Viewers can expect not just a celebration of the speedway but an immersive dive into the community and characters that built it. With Netflix’s backing and Stewart’s passion, the film is gearing up to become a must-watch for motorsports fans around the world.
