The five-part series was filmed over the course of five months by ABC News and documents the personal and professional stories of stock-car drivers who compete weekly in NASCAR, the largest sanctioning body of motorsports in America.
Each one-hour episode of NASCAR in Primetime will provide viewers "uncensored access" to some of its top drivers -- including Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson, Juan Pablo Montoya and Mark Martin -- and follow everything from their preparation before the race to their competition on the track.
NASCAR in Primetime began filming in mid-March at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and will represent ABC's second NASCAR-themed show of the summer.
