FX and the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing are targeting a
late-May/early June launch date for a new reality/documentary series focused on
the sport's drivers.
The series would document the trials and tribulations of three separate
drivers as they compete on the NASCAR circuit, according to sources close to the
situation.
Several drivers are being considered for the series, including such popular
racers as Kevin Harvick, Jamie McMurray and Rusty Wallace.
While FX officials acknowledged discussions with NASCAR about the development
of the series, no deals had been reached by press time.
Officials at NASCAR also confirmed the series' concept but would not reveal
specific details.
