Actor teams with NASCAR Productions for docuseries on Hispanic drivers
William Levy, star of movies and television, has teamed with Emmy Award-winning NASCAR Productions to produce a non-scripted reality series about Hispanic race car drivers.
“I’m truly thrilled about partnering with NASCAR and I can’t wait to show my fans worldwide this creative endeavor,” the Cuban-born actor and star of telenovela “Triunfo del Amor” (“Triumph of Love”) said.
The show will follow drivers as they attempt to make it in NASCAR while transitioning to life in America, and it will be pitched to networks in February.
