The acclaimed docuseries was produced by 300 Studios in partnership with NETFLIX, NASCAR, Board Walk Pictures, and Pro Sports Management. It notably marked 300 Entertainment’s inaugural foray into the film and television space, and it yielded the studio’s first Sports EMMY®.
About this honor, Kevin Liles, Chairman and CEO of 300 Elektra Entertainment, commented, “We want to tell stories that matter to the culture above all. RACE was our opportunity to do so and set the tempo for what to expect in the future from 300 Studios. To be recognized with a Sports EMMY® is incredible and humbling all at once, and we celebrate this achievement with our amazing partners at NETFLIX, NASCAR, Board Walk Pictures, PROSPORT Management, and 23XI. We’re especially grateful Bubba entrusted us to tell his story. He’s a pioneer in his world and a generational talent whose journey will undoubtedly inspire for many years to come. We’re honored to play a small part in bringing this story to audiences everywhere.”
Bubba Wallace added, “First and foremost, I want to thank everyone that played a role in making this show a reality. Without the support of those partners that believed in my vision and in my story, we wouldn’t be where we are today. This is an incredible accomplishment for not only myself, but for all of those I surround myself with! I also need to thank everyone that tuned into this series. If you were already a fan of the sport, I hope this show gives you additional insight on my journey. If you’re a new fan because of the series, we welcome you with open arms!”
