NASCAR Chief Opens Up On Days Of Thunder Sequel Discussions – ‘Great To See It Happen’ [Video]

NASCAR’s Chief Operating Officer, Steve O’Donnell, has opened up on the possibility of a ‘Days of Thunder’ sequel.

This comes as fans of the original 1990 film, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, speculate about the potential of revisiting the speed-fueled world that boosted NASCAR’s popularity.

Released at the turn of the decade, ‘Days of Thunder’ caught some critics off guard with mixed reviews, but its influence was palpable as NASCAR experienced a surge in viewership and engagement in the late 90s and early 2000s.

The 1990 film cemented its place in pop culture by bringing the thrill of NASCAR to the big screen. Directed by Tony Scott and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson, ‘Days of Thunder’ followed Cole Trickle, played by Tom Cruise.
