Novel
The film was adapted from the 1973 novel Stand on It, an autobiography of fictional driver "Stroker Ace." The novel's joint authors, William Neely and Robert K. Ottum, based the book on actual events from the racing world but with their protagonist as the subject. The critic from the Chicago Tribune thought it "would do for stock car racing what...

I got this incredible rockabilly ensemble together, and the director just hated our music! He fired al...
The film was a critical failure. It received five Golden Raspberry Award nominations including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actress (Anderson) and Worst New Star (also for Anderson), winning one for Jim Naborsas Worst Supporting Actor. Vincent Canby of The New York Times called it "the must-miss movie of the summer. It's a witless retread o...
