The 1990 NASCAR-themed cult classic 'Days of Thunder' essentially was 'Top Gun' with cars instead of planes.
When Cruise and crews arrived in Darlington, South Carolina, to film parts of the movie at Darlington Raceway, one of NASCAR’s storied tracks, that part of the world was aflame with Hollywood excitement for days. It was starstruck times 10.
Around Darlington and the neighboring town of Florence, residents were on the outlook for sightings of Cruise. He—or someone who looked very much like him—was seen many times, if you believe the reports of locals. A 9-year-old boy excitedly told a newspaper reporter that his mother had seen Cruise. “And he had his shirt off!” he said. He didn’t know if his mom had fainted in the moment.
Cruise was seen: Fueling his car, eating at a local soul-food restaurant, cuddling with Kidman in a local park, driving around the square in Darlington.You know Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise would love to bring back the Mello Yello team.Despite its description by one critic as a “big, dumb testosterone factory,” the movie has lived on in NASCAR lore.
