Days of Thunder (1990)
"Days of Thunder" keeps it real. This Tom Cruise-starring movie brings the real life action from the race track to the big screen, especially with the fact that the Daytona 500 and July Firecracker 400 races were taken from the actual 1990's Daytona 500. And, who can forget the final race between Cole Trickle and Russ Wheeler. The race literally pushes the two drivers beyond the limit of tires, engines and cars in order to outrace one another to the finish line.
