Having been somewhat involved in the filming of Days of Thunder, 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!
Edited July 7, 2020 to add these photos from the August 1990 edition of All Chevy Magazine:
