Shane McRae is the latest addition to the upcoming AMC drama series “Thunder Road,” Variety has learned exclusively.

The series, which is produced in a partnership between AMC and NASCAR, is set in the world of stock car racing with Dennis Quaid set for the lead role. It was greenlit at AMC in April with plans to launch it in 2027 on AMC and AMC+.

The logline for the show describes it as a “multi-generational saga of the fictional Whitlock family, whose legacy in stock car racing is as deep as the family’s ties to the southern hill country roots that shaped them.”
