Havent seen that one lol
It can be a bit of a letdown at times, but it airs in the winter when most of the country can't race. The show has fictional drama, so it appeals to more than just racing fans, so your girlfriend/ wife can watch too. There hasn't been a good drag racing show since pinks or past time, and based on how TV has worked lately, hopefully this brews more. There have been a lot of callouts and wanabes trying to get on TV since season 1.
In all reality, no matter how you spin it, Drag Racing is a dying sport. A lot of tracks are closing, so the more popular it gets, the better. In the meantime, all the drivers are selling merchendise, along with the travel and production costs, which is all helping the American economy.
