    Funny
    Even if your not a racing fan or a Nascar fan you still have to watch this. Typical Will Ferrell does not let us down. And being paired up with Jon C. Riley makes him even better. I can guarantee that there were many ad-lib scenes. Basically this is about Ricky Booby a Nascar driver who is very good at his sport. But when a Formula 1 driver enters Nascar he does everything he can to beat Ricky. When the battle begins there are so many laughs you will not stop. Inappropriate for young teenagers but great for adults.
