Dale Earnhardt Jr., third generation NASCAR driver, says "The footage portrays NASCAR in its truest sense. It's really loud, which is exactly what it's like when you're inside the car." Jimmie Johnson, the 2003 series runner up, adds, "If you want to know what it's really like to be a NASCAR driver, this film is a must- see experience."
