The show coincides with the latter half of the NASCAR broadcast schedule. The show's first two seasons ran on FX Networks on Friday nights and was known as NASCAR Drivers: 360. The series of episodes gives the viewer a behind-the-scenes view of what the drivers do between the different race weekends as well as how they perform in individual races.

When the show was on FX Network the theme was composed by Niels Bye Nielsen. Since its move to ESPN2 the show has received a new theme and music, in a slightly faster paced style.
