Goofs
At the very beginning of the movie, when Rowdy Burns is introduced, he does up his fire suit twice.
Share this
In the final Daytona race, Russ Wheeler pushes Cole into Harry Gant and spins him. During the spin, a car switches from Gant (#33) to Brett Bodine (#26).
Share this
When Harry is at the track watching Rowdy practice right before he meets Cole, the sky and surrounding atmosphere is VERY cloudy and foggy. When Cole enters the track and approaches the race car, the weather is now clear and sunny.
