Deadline has more details on the series, which remains untitled and without a release date:

The untitled series, from 300 Studios and Boardwalk Pictures and directed and produced by Erik Parker, will take viewers behind the 2021 NASCAR season through Wallace’s eyes. The Netflix series will explore Wallace, Jordan and Hamlin’s newly-formed 23XI Racing squad, and NASCAR’s efforts to advocate for inclusion and equality in racing and beyond.

Executive producers for the docuseries are Kevin Liles, Nolan Baynes, and Kelly G. Griffin for 300 Studios; Andrew Fried, Dane Lillegard, Jordan Wynn, and Sarina Roma for Boardwalk Pictures; Matt Summers, Tim Clark, and Tally Hair for NASCAR. Rob Ford serves as co-executive producer.

Netflix is also home to F1: Drive to Survive, which is not only an excellent racing docuseries but one of the best behind-the-scenes sports documentaries in general. The Bubba Wallace series will obviously have a focus on just one driver, but Wallace is a compelling figure and his role in the sport makes him very well-suited as the center for a show like this.

Presumably it will be out sometime this winter; the NASCAR season wraps up on November 7th, so a release ahead of the February start of the 2022 season seems likely.

NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace is now being attacked by a famous helmet artist.

Jason Beam, who has previously worked with Wallace as well as stars like Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch, went on a hate-filled social media rant toward Wallace and the Black Lives Matter movement on Wednesday.

Beam was celebrating the fact that Richard Petty Motorsports announced a new driver Erik Jones to take the spot vacated by Wallace - who joined Michael Jordan's new racing team - and referred to Wallace as a 'political statement' instead of a real driver.

'RPM will actually have a wheelman behind the wheel and not a political statement looking for attention,' he wrote.

When a fan responded, 'So is this your final position? Cuz I remember a lot of flip flopping when you started getting called out by drivers,' it set Beam off.

'I never once flip flopped,' Beam replied. 'F--k Bubba and F--k the BLM movement and F--k anyone who wants to censor opinions and let politics get in the way of business relationships. You can quote me all you want, that's my stance and has been from the get go.'

Wallace caught wind of the tweet and responded on Twitter by taking the high road and explaining why he left.

Can usually let the BS roll off but when it's somebody I've met personally and was genuinely excited to have my first few lids painted by him..hits different.

I ultimately left bc I just wanted a different look. No hard feelings just a personal feeling..

Damn dude. Roger that?? https://t.co/LKW6qvfQCe

It is not the first time Wallace has had to take the high road on Twitter. President Donald Trump accused him of creating a hoax when the FBI investigated a pull rope that appeared to look like a noose in his garage stall at Taladega Superspeedway earlier this summer.

The FBI conducted an investigation and determined that no hate crime took place, and that the rope had been placed there in October 2019 with no way of knowing who would use the stall next.

Wallace said he was relieved to learn he was not targeted as part of a hate crime and responded to the president's tweet by saying 'love over hate every day.'

The 27-year-old is the only Black driver in NASCAR and called on the racing league to ban the Confederate flag at events, which it officially did on June 10 of this year.

In September, Wallace left Richard Petty Motorsport to join a new racing team formed by NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan and veteran NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin.
