My Stupid NASCAR / Movie Trivia Question Of The Day.....?

May be...

Tim Richmond I think.

Add: Not stupid at all. Ive been wearing Youtube out watching some great finishes and as always some priceless interviews. Great question Jason!

Dick Trickle

Just watched a very good NASCAR documentary on Showtime and learned something that I had never heard before. Y'all probably already know this, but I didn't and found it interesting.


What driver did Tom Cruise model his character of Cole Trickle after in the movie Days Of Thunder?

First correct answer gets the 10 points....

Tim Richmond, He went to the hendrick shop and talked with Richmonds old crew chief to try and get into the role

Jeff Bodine Im pretty sure

kyle petty

Tim Richmond always wanted to be a movie star. A cocky glamour boy with a flashy style and a supercharged ego, he was a race-car driver straight from Central Casting. Until he died of AIDS in 1989, at 34, Richmond was one of auto racing's brightest stars, NASCAR's resident sex symbol.

*In Days of Thunder, Tom Cruise replays much of Richmond's life story on the screen. Like Cruise's Cole Trickle, Richmond switched from racing Indy-style cars to stock cars and teamed up with one of racing's most respected car builders, Harry Hyde. And like Tricke, Richmond fell in love with a beautiful female doctor. It is also true that Richmond's friends once arranged an X-rated stunt much like the movie's gag involving a woman impersonating a highway patrol officer.
