Synopsis

NASCAR Racers is an animated television series about two rival NASCAR racing teams, Team Fastex and Team Rexcor, competing against each other in the futuristic NASCAR Unlimited Division.

It ended in 2001, with reruns airing on Disney's Jetix after the company's purchase of the Saban Entertainment library.

XPT racers, introduced in season 2, are the new race cars for Team Fastex.

Twenty-six half-hour episodes were produced by Saban Entertainment, in conjunction with the Vancouver-based Ocean Productions voice cast, who had worked with Saban on other projects â€” such as Spider-Man Unlimited and Dragon Ball Z.

At the same time, the show acknowledged NASCAR history in a nod to older fans, with the main character having characteristics of famous drivers, and real driver names mentioned during an altercation in the series premiere.

As with their other work, Mark wrote episode outlines, while Michael edited those into full scripts.

Before beginning its proper run in 2000, NASCAR Racers premiered as a special three-part TV movie on November 11, 1999, although subsequent re-airings have the first three episodes separated from each other.
