Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Sends the message that it's rewarding to do good things for others.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Not an issue.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Connected to and designed to promote the marketing juggernaut that is NASCAR (at least, given that the organization is in the title, they're not trying to hide the association in any way). Tire maker Goodyear's name is attached to the group that remodels cars.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About NASCAR Angels

Parents need to know that this reality show revolves around a group of mechanics with one goal in mind: helping people fix broken cars. It's a feel-good half-hour with very few faults (unless you're opposed to constant NASCAR promotion) and shows a softer side of the fast-paced world of auto racing.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about race-car driving. Where did the sport originate? Is it really as dangerous as it looks? What kind of cars are used? What safety precautions are taken to make sure the drivers don't get hurt in crashes? How are racing cars different from regular ones? (For example, did you know that most race cars don't have real headlights? The heavy lights are replaced with decals.)
