Nascar Racing is a ‘hard driving’ phenomenon that draws fans from around the world; it’s little wonder that this major sport has inspired some blockbuster summer movies—not to mention some great parties.

Many racing movies take place at Nascar races. The ultimate film fest for a Nascar Racing party could include:

Days of Thunder—directed by Tony Scott, starring Tom Cruise, Robert Duvall, Nicole Kidman

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby—directed by Adam McKay, starring Will Farrell

Stoker Ace--directed by Hal Needham, starring Burt Reynolds, Loni Anderson, Jim Nabors

NASCAR Racers: The Movie—an animated feature

The Dale Earnhardt Story—directed by Russell Mulcahy, starring Barry Pepper, Elizabeth Mitchell

Grease— directed by Randal Kleiser, starring John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John

Some of these films concern the real-life driving heroes that rule the Nascar Racing track, while others are light-hearted comedies, action adventure stories and even musicals that concern the fine art and energetic sport of racing.

Aside from a full roster of endlessly entertaining ‘motorized motion pictures,’ guests will make fast ‘tracks’ to a Nascar Racing soiree that features a first-rate supply of party supplies. These could include Nascar pennants and checkered flags that could adorn the walls of the party room; as well as smaller variations on these classic Nascar symbols that guests could take home as party favors, or that could be placed on top of burgers, cakes, cupcakes and steaks served at the party. Other hard driving Nascar Racing party favors could include trading cards, posters and cardboard cutouts that feature images of legendary drivers (such as Dale Earnhardt, junior and senior, and Mario Andretti), as well as tableware (including dishes, plates, napkins and bowls) that feature the famous Nascar Racing ‘checkered flag’ motif.

Guests will drive en masse to a Nascar Racing party; one that will claim an easy first place finish among partygoers.
