Did you know
- TriviaThe "Fireball 500" is a heavily customized 1966 Plymouth Barracuda, with a 273 V-8 engine.
- GoofsAt the end of the Daytona race, both drivers swerve around crashed 1950s cars. But the main race shots were filmed in the mid-1960s with no older cars in any footage. Then Leander Fox's car, which was a mid-1960s blue and white Plymouth, becomes an early 1960s car in monotone blue as he crashes over the guardrail.

Featured review
Citizen Kane it is not, but if you want a good time, drive in, type movie.. check it out. Frankie A. is a wanna be Nascar driver who drives for moonshiners on the side. He meets the hard Biz woman who owns the track and finds the moonshine drivers, but she falls in love and later on redeems herself.
Fabian is the local race track hero and king of the moonshine drivers. There's a slight twist to his character in the end that I won't reveal here.
Dopey songs, pretty girls and cars... Simple, Family friendly fun with some cool old school Nascar footage to boot.
