    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The crash sequence at the beginning of the Indianapolis 500 was from the 1966 race. In this sequence, A.J. Foyt can be seen climbing over the first turn fence to escape the crash site.
    • Goofs
      At the final race at Indianapolis, a big crash involving many cars occurs right after the start. The beige pace car has just entered the pit lane. However, the pace car seen driving through pit lane in the crash footage is red and an older model. The crash obviously used footage from another race.

    Just for Paul Newman's fans
    I am a big fan of Paul Newman but this must be one of his lowest films, even though he is OK at it. I think this movie deserves 5.5 stars.

    One of the biggest problems is that it last 120 minutes, it should have lasted 20 minutes less. I think the plot was good but not the way it was developed.

    What I liked the most was the final scene between Paul and Joanne, this scene deserved to be in a much better movie. The race scenes are good.

    Frank Capua is a car racer who gets married with Elora who has a 16 years old son who gets along with him, but there will be serious problems in the couple when he puts his career before her...........

    I recommend watching it if it's on TV and you like old race cars movies or if you are a Paul Newman's die hard fan
