THE STORY

 

RACING DREAMS, winner of Best Documentary at Tribeca Film Festival, is a coming-of-age documentary about two boys and a girl who dream of one day racing in NASCAR.

From Oscar®-winning (and three-time nominated) filmmaker Marshall Curry and Executive Producer Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, the documentary takes us into the lives of Annabeth (11 years old), Josh (12), and Brandon (13) as they compete for the championship in the World Karting Association’s National Series — widely considered the Little League for professional racing.

Clocking speeds of up to 70 mph, these young drivers race their way through the year-long National Series that spawned many of NASCAR’s top drivers.

And at the same time, they navigate the treacherous road between childhood and young adulthood.

In intimate moments of young love and family struggle, this exciting and often humorous story has been fondly described as “part Catcher in the Rye, part Talladega Nights.”
