NASHVILLE – November 11, 2008 – The story behind NASCAR is presented in first-person accounts by the people who lived it in the new film RIDE OF THEIR LIVES, produced by CMT FILMS and NASCAR Media Group, premiering on Saturday, December 13 at 9:00 p.m., on CMT.
Narrated by Kevin Costner, the film includes new, exclusive interviews with famed NASCAR personalities Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Jeff Gordon, Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip, and tells the story of how family dynamics weaved a thread through a half-century of racing. In RIDE OF THEIR LIVES, the history and heroes of NASCAR are brought to life through the men and women who lived the dream. They tell NASCAR’s history which is a story of family bonds and personal struggles, rebellion and teamwork. These are the threads that weave through the sport’s first 60 years and a half-century of Daytona 500 races. From the moonshine runners of the Postwar Years, to the superstars of the 21ST Century, THE RIDE OF THEIR LIVES celebrates a sport that grew from humble Southern roots to become a national spectacle.
RIDE OF THEIR LIVES features never before seen footage spanning NASCAR’s entire history from the archives of NASCAR Media Group, as well as the final interview with Bill France, Jr., former NASCAR President (1972-2000) and son of NASCAR Founder Bill France.
