Lamont Johnson's subtle direction graces this true-life success story about racecar driver Junior Jackson (
Jeff Bridges), based on stock-car champion
Junior Johnson. As a child in North Carolina, Jackson stays one step ahead of reform school until his father (
Art Lund) is thrown in prison for moonshining. Seeing the error of his ways, Jackson begins to concentrate his driving skills, hoping to become a professional stock car racer to raise money to get his father released from jail. Jackson rises from the ranks into the highest rung of professional stock car racing, but Jackson finds his independent nature is compromised by the corporate realities of the professional sports world. The real
Junior Johnson served as technical advisor on the film.
