Amazon’s Prime Video greenlit a new documentary from Nascar Studios that will chronicle NASCAR’s special “Garage 56” entry at the 100th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Netflix has found success with a look inside Formula 1 Racing while Prime Video in January announced the launch of “The Ride,” an inside look at the Professional Bull Riders tour.
The Le Mans event has developed a reputation as one of the world’s most challenging races. “Garage 56” will track efforts by Jim France, the current CEO of Nascar and son of Nascar founder Bill France Sr., to showcase a next-generation race car to an international audience in partnership with Hendrick Motorsports,...

Kinetic Content owns the reality space for relationship shows. From “Married at First Sight” and “Love Is Blind” to “The Ultimatum” and “Perfect Match,” the production company knows what viewers want. And now, they’re branching out.
In early 2022, Kinetic EVP and co-head of development Karrie Wolfe read a story about how America’s love for “Yellowstone” was helping launch professional bull riding (Pbr) as a team sport. Last year, the sport launched a team series, creating a whole new world for the sport — and for Wolfe.
