American Thunder: NASCAR to Le Mans OTT Release Date - When and where to watch this feature-length documentary
American Thunder: NASCAR to Le Mans OTT Release Date - There's something undeniably electrifying about the sound of a roaring stock car, the scent of burnt rubber, and the thunder of speedway glory. But now, that quintessential slice of American motorsport is going global, straight into the heart of endurance racing's elite battleground. American Thunder: NASCAR to Le Mans, the highly anticipated feature-length documentary, is set to drop on June 12, 2025, on Prime Video. The story that had to be told For decades, NASCAR has been defined by its homegrown heroes, beer-and-burgers attitude, and the unmatched intensity of American oval racing. Meanwhile, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, arguably the crown jewel of endurance racing, has been steeped in European tradition, pushing the limits of man and machine over a full day of hellish speed. So when NASCAR announced it was entering the 2023 Le Mans 24 Hours with a modified stock car in the experimental "Garage 56" class, it raised more than a few eyebrows. Could a thunderous, V8-beating beast built for the banks of Daytona hold its own on the twisting, high-speed corners of Circuit de la Sarthe? American Thunder: NASCAR to Le Mans answers that question with grit, gasoline, and a whole lot of heart. What's in the documentary? This is a front-row seat to a racing revolution. The film dives deep into the garage, follows the team through sleepless nights, and captures the raw nerves of the drivers who strapped into the beast that shook France. The documentary chronicles Hendrick Motorsports' ambitious journey, backed by Chevrolet, Goodyear, and NASCAR itself, as they developed a special version of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. The car was fine-tuned not for Talladega, but for Le Mans' punishing straights, chicanes, and night racing. Expect stunning behind-the-scenes footage, intense engineering debates, and emotionally charged moments as the Garage 56 entry goes from concept to the grid. Meet the people behind the wheel The film features commentary and interviews from some of the biggest names in racing. Behind the wheel of the car were three heavy-hitters: Jenson Button, the 2009 Formula One World Champion Jimmie Johnson, the seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champ Mike Rockenfeller, a Le Mans veteran and former winner Also expect appearances from team engineers, pit crew members, and executives, such as Jim France (NASCAR CEO), who saw this moment as the culmination of a decades-long dream to bring NASCAR into the global spotlight.

June 2 (UPI) -- Prime Video is teasing the mystery thriller We Were Liars. The teen drama is part of the streamer's June slate of releases previewed in a video Sunday. "Once upon a time, there was a mythical land where it was always summer," a voice says as the trailer begins.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is one of the crown jewels of international motorsports. It's a showcase of sports car racing excellence that tests the limits of man and machine. For the race's 100th anniversary running in June 2023, an invitation was extended to NASCAR to bring an American stock car Chevrolet Camaro to compete against the futuristic Ferrari and Porsche prototypes and attempt to complete the grueling 24-hour challenge that is Le Mans. It was NASCAR Chairman and CEO Jim France's dream since childhood to have one of his cars race at Le Mans, so he recruited NASCAR's most successful team, Hendrick Motorsports, to build and race the car. Along with world-class drivers Jenson Button, Jimmie Johnson, and Mike Rockenfeller, Hendrick Motorsports embarked on an 18-month journey to develop a race car designed to run three-hour races on ovals in the United States into one that could survive the challenge of racing 24 hours straight on an unforgiving road course. 'American Thunder: NASCAR to Le Mans' is produced by NASCAR Studios and Griffin Van Malssen and directed by Brad Lockhart. The film is executive produced by Jeff Gordon of Hendrick Motorsports and Tim Clark, John Dahl, Amy Anderson, Tally Hair and Matt Summers of NASCAR.
