It wasnt a bad film although it came out not too much after Top Gun if I recall. It was kind of Top Gun applied to NASCAR.
It was an enjoyable film with Cruise at the top of his career and Kidman looking good. Duvall is always a class act in supporting roles.
Overall I liked it. As for best NASCAR film, this is one of the few I can think of.
