On Sportscenter, they showed a real-life Ricky Bobby moment when a Nascar crew member caught on fire and the crew had to use the fire extinguishers on the guy.
I just saw this film and speaking as someone who watches and loves racing, I must say that this film was pretty God aweful lol. The jokes were awkward and went on waaaay too long, and a couple of those were even repeated later on.
Another poor choice was the very strange inclusion of that equally strange french guy, he just gave me the creeps with his off-putting way of acting and speaking.
I can't say that Will Farrel's brand of humour is working out for me as I didn't care for any of his films thus far. On the plus side, Leslie Bibb was hot!
