Having been involved in the filming of Days of Thunder during my first round of employment at Hendrick Motorsports, I’m a sucker for anything that reminds me of that time. It was a real adventure and I was still young enough to be greatly impacted by the whole process. The video below shows the behind-the-scenes of the making of the movie, and contains a lot of inside knowledge you won’t see anywhere else. Below it are screenshots and scans of other “making of” type things. Enjoy!
