NASCAR: Best of 2011 is a television show produced by NASCAR Media Group, LLC. that showcases the most memorable moments from the 2011 NASCAR season. The show is part of a series of annual Best of NASCAR programs that highlight the most exciting, dramatic, and historic moments from NASCAR's top events.

The show features highlights from each of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races in 2011, including the Daytona 500, the Brickyard 400, and the season-ending Ford 400. Clips from each race are edited together to form a high-energy, action-packed compilation that will delight fans of the sport.

In addition to race highlights, the show includes interviews with drivers, crew chiefs, and team owners, giving viewers an inside perspective on the 2011 season. These interviews provide a behind-the-scenes look at the strategies and personalities that defined the season.

The show also highlights NASCAR's efforts to make the sport safer for drivers and fans. The 2011 season saw the introduction of the Gen-6 car, a new design that improved driver safety by making the cars more crash-resistant. The show discusses the development of the Gen-6 car and the impact it had on the sport.

Another key theme of the show is the close and competitive nature of the 2011 season. The Sprint Cup Series saw six different drivers take the points lead throughout the season, and the championship battle came down to a nail-biting finale in Homestead, Florida. The show features highlights from each of the championship contenders' races and interviews with the drivers as they battled for the title.

NASCAR: Best of 2011 also explores some of the controversies and challenges faced by the sport during the season. One of the biggest controversies came at the Talladega Superspeedway in May, when Dale Earnhardt Jr. criticized NASCAR for the dangers posed by restrictor-plate racing. The show includes clips from the race and interviews with Earnhardt and other drivers about the issue.

The show also covers some of the more unusual moments from the season, including the introduction of the "lucky dog" rule in the Camping World Truck Series, where the first driver one lap down is awarded a free pass back onto the lead lap. The rule had a big impact on the Truck Series in 2011, and the show features interviews with drivers and officials discussing the rule.

Throughout the show, viewers are treated to stunning footage of the cars racing on some of NASCAR's most iconic tracks, including Daytona, Talladega, and Indianapolis. The high-definition footage puts viewers right in the middle of the action, giving them a front-row seat to some of the most exciting moments of the 2011 season.

Overall, NASCAR: Best of 2011 is a must-watch for any NASCAR fan. The show captures the essence of the 2011 season, showcasing the excitement, drama, and passion that makes the sport so beloved by millions of fans around the world. From the heart-stopping crashes to the epic finishes, NASCAR: Best of 2011 has it all.
