In a groundbreaking move that merges speed with storytelling, NASCAR Hall of Famer Tony Stewart has signed a massive $15.5 million deal with Netflix to produce a feature film centered around Eldora Speedway, the iconic dirt track he owns and helped elevate into a motorsports cathedral.
But this isn’t your average racing documentary. According to early reports, the film will be a cinematic tribute to the gritty, high-octane world of dirt racing—a world that Stewart helped bring to mainstream prominence. Featuring legendary rivalries, never-before-seen footage, and the untold stories of grassroots racers who fought their way to fame, the project promises to capture the raw essence of a sport built on passion and power.
“This is about preserving the soul of dirt racing,” Stewart said. “Eldora isn’t just a track—it’s a proving ground, a way of life. We’re bringing that fire to the screen.”
Netflix executives are calling the film a “full-throttle sports epic,” with a premiere set for 2026. Fans can expect intense race visuals, emotional storytelling, and a deep dive into the culture that defined generations of drivers and fans alike.
Dirt racing is going global—Eldora’s story is ready to roar.
