‘Days of Thunder’ Had Tom Cruise and Paul Newman Car Testing for Hendrick Motorsports

The movie starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman is all about NASCAR packed with action and drama.

A throwback moment


Tom Cruise and Paul Newman made laps around Daytona in Busch series cars.

What did Tom Cruise say?


“I had driven some incredible machines with Paul and Rick before that, but the sensation of driving one of Rick's stock cars around Daytona, that was an entirely different level.”

What did he say in addition?


“I think I hit 175 mph. The second I climbed out of that car on pit road, I said, ‘We have to make a movie about this!’”
