Leuk lijstje op nascar.com van alles wat er mis is met days of thunder:

There are a lot of things wrong with Days of Thunder.

• First of all, cars that hit the wall that hard do not finish, much less win, races.

• Drivers do not smugly announce either on television or over their radios for one and all to hear, "I'm gonna put him in the wall."

• Drivers and crew chiefs do not travel to and from races in the lounges of the team transporter. Nobody travels to and from races in the lounge of a team transporter.

But wait, there's more:

• When a car is at speed, the hammer has already been dropped.

• When Rowdy (Rooker) introduces Cole (Cruise) to his wife, she says, "Hi Tom."

• Crew chiefs never spot for their drivers from pit road, and especially not at Daytona.

• Said crew chiefs are also never allowed in the garage by themselves to give their cars a pep talk.

• When a car spins out, it does not change numbers and paint schemes in mid-slide.

And some more ...

• When there's a 20-car pileup between turns three and four at Daytona, drivers in the middle of the backstretch do not continue to pile full blast into the middle of the mess, not unless they're (insert name of least favorite driver here).

• Drivers and crew chiefs do not chat back and forth while the driver is battling for the win on the last lap of the Daytona 500.

• And finally, cars that win races are not ... I repeat, not ... built in barns.

For all its faults, however, you still remember the lines.

"Rubbin', son, is racin'."

"Hit the pace car."
