Days of Thunder

Days of Thunder
Cole Trickle enters the high-pressure world of Nascar racing. He's a hot driver with a hot temper, and this attitude gets him into trouble not only with other drivers, but members of his own team as well.

The “Top Gun” of NASCAR.
The movie itself is boilerplate Hollywood drivel, but it gives some real power and awe to the monster race cars that tear across the screen.
Take a dozen Hollywood racing movie tropes, drop them into a blender with some big name stars, throw reality out the window and just enjoy this larger-than-life 90 minute romp that would be perfectly acceptable as a Prime Time Movie of the Week.
