Summary:
Ricky Bobby has always
dreamed of driving fast--real fast--like his father, Reese Bobby, who left the
family to pursue his racing dreams. Early on, Ricky's mother, Lucy Bobby worried
that her boy was also destined to end up as a professional daredevil on wheels.
Ricky enters the racing arena as a "jackman" for slovenly driver Terry Cheveaux
and accidentally gets his big break behind the wheel when Cheveaux makes an
unscheduled pit stop during a race to gorge on a chicken sandwich. Ricky jumps
into the car and so begins the ballad of Ricky Bobby. Ricky quickly becomes one
of NASCAR's top stars, supported by his pit boys--the impressively large crew
chief Lucius Washington, a trio of lovably moronic but loyal crew members,
Herschell, Kyle and Glenn, as well as racing partner and boyhood best friend,
Cal Naughton, Jr. They are all part of the Dennit Racing team, headed by wealthy
Dennit Senior and his petulant son, Dennit Junior, whose jealousy of Ricky Bobby
increases with every victory. In a short time, Ricky Bobby is on top of the
world. He has everything a championship NASCAR driver could ever want--a
gorgeous wife, Carley, a lakeside mansion, two hell-raising sons, Walker and
Texas Ranger, huge sponsor endorsements and a string of victories from Daytona
to Darlington. Ricky Bobby's "win at all costs" approach had made him a natural
hero. But after a frightening crash sends Ricky Bobby to the hospital, he loses
his nerve and falls on hard times. When his career and his wife are taken over
by his friend Cal, Ricky Bobby turns his back on racing and takes his sons back
to his small hometown to live with his mother. But Ricky just isn’t cut for the
slow life away from the race track and soon hits rock bottom. His mother
reluctantly turns to the only person she can think of to help her son--his
estranged father Reese Bobby. Ricky Bobby will do anything to find a way back to
the top, no matter how many speed bumps life throws his way
