There have been a few instances where drivers such as Richard Petty, and Dale Earnhardt Jr among others have appeared in mainstream films. Now, many wish they could be a part of the big screen, and what would be better is to get an actor of their choosing to play them in a hypothetical scenario.

Ryan Blaney stated, “I don’t know. I’d say, let’s get Will Ferrell to come back as Ricky Bobby.” Kyle Larson wanted Jackie Chan to play him.

Denny Hamlin wanted Hugh Jackman to play him since he liked Jackman’s intensity and found him to be pretty knowledgeable.
