New NASCAR documentary series RISING kicks off this week, with a new episode every day from Monday to Friday.

The series is being released on YouTube, and featuring 'rising' stars including Carson Hocevar, Jesse Love and Rajah Caruth, three of the most fascinating youngsters in the sport.

Earlier this month, Love won the Xfinity Series championship with a brilliant victory at Phoenix, while Caruth himself was cruelly denied a spot in the Truck Series championship race.

The series will premiere a new episode at 7pm ET each night this week, on the NASCAR YouTube channel.

NASCAR star: Life ain't all sunshine and rainbows

Hocevar said prior to the show's airing: "I think it's healthy for a show to have the good, bad and the ugly, right. For me, I'm comfortable being vulnerable on a camera just because I think that's healthy.

"Life isn't all sunshine and rainbows, and when everything is PR or portrayed that way, the world can see through that pretty easily and feel like something is faked or whatever. I want to watch 'authentic' and 'real' and there's a reason drama or clickbait sells. I think shows need that.

"With some reality shows, a lot if that is faked, even though it's entertaining be so scripted but this was really enjoyable for me, how authentic it was, and how vulnerable I did get at times.

"There were times when it was rough, and I did wish it wasn't being filmed, but at the same time, I look back on it and was happy that it was and I think fans will be too."
