Featured review
Wasn't that bad
Considering Richard Petty is no actor and many of the parts were played by members of the Petty family, it wasn't half bad. Lots of humorous moments, lots of stock car footage, and a fairly accurate historical account of how the Petty's became the First Family of NASCAR.
I particularly enjoyed the way the movie highlighted the sacrifices made by racing wives and the families in general.
If you are expecting an academy award winning movie, this ain't it. The acting is a bit amateurish and it does seem a bit on the low-budget side. Still, if you are a fan of Richard Petty or NASCAR, you'll enjoy this one.
