You too! Thanks for sharing that Greg video. And hopefully this video was as enjoyable to watch as it was for me to make. And a lighter tone from the last one
Correct! That's where the inspiration for the film came from. If i remember correctly, It wasn't originally even tony scott who proposed it, but originally it was suggested by Tom himself. Could be wrong on that last part, but that's what the word on the street is anyhow.
Some Say …..Man when are they going to make another Nascar Movie? In my opinion NO ONE could EVER reproduce what we all witnessed with Days Of Thunder. A lot of people don’t know it but Tom Cruise is a huge NASCAR fan and was pushing for days of thunder to be made. He is really good friends with Rick Hendrick and can actually drive a Race Car pretty good. My dad use to tell me that the movie was about a real Driver and a real Pit Chief but i never knew if he was telling the truth or not. I was only 8 when that Movie was made but man was one of my favorites. I remember going to kings Dominion in Virginia and they had a Days of Thunder Attraction and i use to beg my dad to ride it over and over again. That Movie could Never be duplicate or re made. It would be ruined by todays Hollywood but thats just my opinion.
I could watch it a million times, never get tired of it. I also found out recently that the ice cream on pit road scene actually happened. I think it was between Harry Hyde and Geoff bodine back then, but I could be slightly misremembering
@@plisskenationbackfromthede3657 think he says, “Buck bretherton, what’s yours?” And then after Cole introduces himself, Harry questions why he got thought he could just come up and do NASCAR after running open wheels, “I’ve seen it on television.” “..you’ve seen it on.. television?” “ESPN. Coverage is excellent, you’d be surprised how much you can pick up.” “… I’m sure I would..” then it goes on from there
People complain about Ross Chastain now but they couldn't have handled Trickle and Wheeler locking bumpers with the veterans and smashing each other's rears like real men. These were talented rookies not afraid to speak their minds, not like today's crop of corporate PC SJW AI NPCs, smh Nascar died when Ricky Bobby retired.
Ricky Bobby’s retirement was a shame, but he made a statement before he left at the very least.. great guy. I remember seeing him during practice at Atlanta in 2006.
Thank you CC!

Great video. We all wanted the full backstory on Cole Trickle.
Thanks Daniel! Bit of "artistic liberties" to make it more cohesive. Glad ya enjoyed! I had a lotta fun with it.
@@ClumsyCardboard You're welcome.
Getting pretty sick with this, good stuff!
Big ups for the continued support man! Hope you had as much fun with this as i had making it
Cole Trickle was a fictional character. In real life it's Tim Richmond, Harry Hyde and Rick Hendricks.

I find this so damn cool ik it's fake but still bad ass story
Glad you enjoyed. It was fun to make, and a great film.

In the movie tho, didnt they say cole had been running indycars before he got fired and went to nascar?
I think so, but it’s implied he only did a handful of starts. None of which were at Indianapolis. Good point, however
Sprints mainly.
@@edmundanderson657 “Sprints mainly.. what’s your name?”
@@ClumsyCardboard ahhh. I forgot that line. I just remembered them asking where hed run and said "those indy types" or something along those lines
