The Crew
Speed is not their strength.
Created by Jeff Lowell
On Netflix
A workplace comedy about a NASCAR crew resisting change, built on ensemble camaraderie and generational clash rather than high stakes or darkness.
When the owner of the fictional NASCAR Bobby Spencer Racing team steps down and passes the team off to his daughter Catherine, the crew chief has to protect himself and his crew from her attempts to modernize.
