Its getting hotter outside.  Family's coming over.  And Jimmie Johnson's winning again.  Sounds like a good time to see a movie.  Here's the racing-themed filmed coming soon to a theater near you.

Men in Black III--Nascar's mysterious memory erasers visit fans who refuse to go along with the story.  Rick Hendrick never went to jail.  He never broke laws to get a leg-up over smaller dealers.  His 200th win is a good thing.
