NASCAR fans will spend much of Saturday tweeting, Instagramming and Facebooking their reactions to the Sprint All-Star Race.

That sort of social media use is not unusual. But this weekend, there's a twist: Fox Sports 1 and NASCAR Productions will gather the best of those videos to use in a quick-turnaround documentary called "100,000 Cameras: The NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race."

Fans are being asked to record videos on Saturday's race day – whether at the track or at home – and upload them to their social media accounts with the hashtag #100KCams. Those perspectives will be stitched together with some special Fox Sports camera angles that won't be used during the race.

"The reality is a lot of people shoot video -- at the track, around the track, at home – and you see it and say, 'That's a cool perspective,' " said Steve Craddock, Fox Sports' senior vice president of NASCAR production. "That happens every weekend already, it's just no one is putting all those shots into a TV show."

Craddock told USA TODAY Sports producers will scour the web for creative, interesting or clever content to put into the 30-minute special, which will air at 9:30 p.m. ET on May 22 as part of Fox Sports 1's "10 Days of Thunder."

And the footage doesn't have to be related to the on-track action. It could involve tailgating, video from the pre-race Jake Owen concert or a clip from driver introductions, Craddock said.

The idea came from a desire to evolve the Emmy-winning "Inside the Headsets" specials, which were filled with extra video footage, mic'd-up crew chiefs and in-car driver audio, then turned around for broadcast in less than 24 hours.

The difference with "100,000 Cameras" – in addition to a few more days to finish the show -- is the reliance on fan-generated footage.

"It's great to share some of the stories and pictures with your friends and colleagues, but we have to get some of them into this show," Craddock said. "Experiencing the sport through social media is a cool way to do it, and it's a different layer or texture than watching the race on TV, which is what we do. This is an opportunity to share the race and the events around it, and I think that's cool."

For those fans who want to see their footage on Fox Sports 1, the network has set up an advice page at foxsports.com/100kcams.

Among the tips:

-- Make sure to remember the #100KCams hashtag with each video upload.

-- Hold your cell phone horizontally (landscape mode) instead of vertically in order to record a wide-angle picture that would be suitable for TV.

-- Be unique. Producers are looking for footage of race-day rituals in addition to real-time reactions of things that happen during the race.
