Netflix Greenlights $15.5M Documentary on Eldora Speedway, Starring Tony Stewart and Scott Bloomquist
Eldora Speedway, the crown jewel of American dirt track racing, is about to make its global debut on streaming screens as Netflix announces a $15.5 million documentary project spotlighting the legendary venue—and the icons who built its legacy.
Set against the backdrop of Ohio’s roaring clay oval, the yet-untitled documentary will take viewers deep into the high-octane world of dirt racing. At the center of the story are two of the sport’s most influential figures: NASCAR Hall of Famer Tony Stewart and dirt late model icon Scott Bloomquist.
Tony Stewart, who purchased Eldora Speedway in 2004, has long been a passionate steward of grassroots racing. His involvement in the project ensures an authentic look at the sport’s culture, history, and the relentless drive of the racers who live for the dirt.
“Eldora has always been more than just a track,” said Stewart in a press release. “It’s where stories are made, legends are born, and where the soul of racing lives. This documentary is going to tell that story like never before.”
Scott Bloomquist, known for his bold personality and dominance on dirt tracks across the country, will also be featured prominently. His raw, unfiltered perspective promises to give fans and newcomers alike an inside look into the rivalries, risks, and rewards of life on the dirt.
The documentary aims to blend cinematic storytelling with real-life grit, showcasing behind-the-scenes footage, archival clips, and exclusive interviews. From the roar of engines and the smell of clay to the lifelong camaraderie and fierce competition, the project is expected to capture the true essence of a sport often overlooked by mainstream media.
Netflix has not yet announced an official release date, but production is already underway, with crews seen filming at Eldora during key events this season. Industry insiders say the documentary could drop as early as 2026.
For fans of motorsports and documentary storytelling alike, this project promises to be a high-speed ride into the heart of America’s racing culture—where passion meets dirt, and legends never die.
