Netflix Explores Eldora Speedway Legend in New Documentary — No Hulu Collaboration Confirmed
In a captivating tribute to dirt racing and one of its most iconic venues, Netflix has released a documentary chronicling the life and legacy of Tony Stewart, the legendary NASCAR champion and owner of Eldora Speedway. Titled Stewart’s Kingdom: A Legacy Built in Dirt, the film offers an unprecedented look at Stewart’s journey from a top-tier racer to a passionate track owner, determined to preserve the roots of grassroots racing.
The documentary provides fans with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, interviews with drivers and crew members, and insight into how Stewart revitalized Eldora Speedway into one of the premier short tracks in America. From his acquisition of the track in 2004 to the modern-day prestige of events like the Eldora Million, Stewart’s influence on the sport is deeply felt.
In addition to Stewart’s Kingdom, Netflix also launched The Heart of the Speedway, which highlights the 2024 Eldora championship season. The film delves into team rivalries, emerging talents, and the shifting culture of dirt racing under Stewart’s leadership. Another companion documentary, The Road to Eldora, explores Martin Truex Jr.’s evolving role as a potential co-owner and his connection to the track.
Contrary to recent speculation, there is currently no confirmed partnership between Netflix and Hulu on this project. While Hulu is known for its compelling sports documentaries, all three Eldora-focused titles are Netflix exclusives as of now.
Together, these documentaries celebrate the enduring spirit of dirt racing and the vital role Tony Stewart continues to play in shaping its future. Fans of motorsports and newcomers alike will find inspiration and adrenaline in Netflix’s deep dive into the world of Eldora Speedway and its legendary leadership.
