1. http://www.moviemistakes.com/film333?singletype=factualOne of the first races that Cole runs is Phoenix. Phoenix International raceway is a very flat track. There are several shots in that segment showing a high-banked oval. 2. Any NASCAR fan knows that when you spin in a race like Cole Trickle did that you would flat spot your tires and therefore you would require a pit stop for new tires. You wouldn't just be able to keep on racing. 3. During many of the races shown in the movie shots from the wrong track are shown. For example, the caption at the bottom of the screen for one race claimed they were at Martinsville speedway, but a shot was shown from Daytona speedway (in one shot you can even see DAYTONA USA painted on the wall!) 4. If Cole's car really had that much damage towards the end of a race like the Daytona 500 at the end, he'd be in or near last place. Races on superspeedways like Daytona require the car to maintain its aerodynamic properties to keep up with the race speed. If his car had that much damage he'd probably be black flagged anyway. 5. I have never seen a Daytona 500 race where the winner is immediately left completely alone and is able to walk over to his crew chief who is still at the pit wall and hold a quiet conversation. 6. The crew chief eating ice cream on the side lines, while driver waiting to pit. 7. You can downshift from top gear at redline and go faster ! ?
