All My Life—a “fan” who has spent the last fifty years whining about how terrible Nascar is receives a bombshell—they don’t actually have to watch it.
Dear Santa—in this touching documentary various drivers deliver Christmas gifts to needy race fans, from children to the employees of Rick Ware Racing.

Assassins—in this remake of “Black Sunday” a terrorist commandeers a blimp and crashes it into Daytona International Speedway. Unfortunately for him, his GPS sends him directly into Lake Lloyd.
