This year, NASCAR fans are in for a treat. The racing world is gearing up for the new season with exciting news from NASCAR Studios and FOX Sports Films. They've teamed up to bring us two documentaries: "The Madhouse" and "So Damn Close: Atlanta '24". These shows are set to hit the small screen before the action kicks off at Daytona. But what's the story behind this partnership?

Some fans might be wondering if this is a clever way to distract from the delayed Netflix show, "NASCAR: Full Speed". Netflix had plans to release the second season in January, but they've pushed it back to April. That's after some big races like the Daytona 500. It's a bit of a bummer for fans who were looking forward to the behind-the-scenes drama that the first season offered.

So, why the delay? Producer Tim Mullen said it's because Netflix has a lot going on in February. But NASCAR doesn't want to lose momentum. The off-season is the perfect time to keep fans excited. That's where FOX comes in. Their documentaries will give fans a front-row seat to NASCAR's history and last year's thrilling races.

But will these shows be enough to keep fans happy while they wait for the second season of "Full Speed"? Only time will tell.
