In 1986 a young man from Wisconsin sold everything he owned, packed up a borrowed pickup truck and headed south to start his racing career. He didn't have the big money of the major race teams; he didn't even have a car when he arrived in Charlotte, but he had faith in his abilities and the determination to find a way. He fought hardship throughout his career -- losing sponsors, scraping by on shoestring budgets, replacing entire crews over and over again. Through it all he gained the respect of his peers and the fans. In 1992, with a new sponsor and a team he believed would go to the wall for him, he chased the dream and won the closest points race in the history of NASCAR.

| User ReviewJR FGreat story about former NASCAR champion and nice bit of acting by lead actor Bradley Weber and the rest of the cast. Nice independent feature film glad the story was brought to the big screen. Great tribute to Alan! |
| User Reviewadam sVery nice indie film about a racing icon. Obviously, a low-budget film but it told a good story and did it well. Some solid performances (Deke stands out) and the lead actor did a good job with Kulwicki's weird little affectations. Good visuals for an low-budget indie and the storyline is neatly woven by the director. Enormous amount of locations. Saw it with a group of non-racefans and many of them cried at the end. Nice tribute. Wish it had a bigger budget. |
