In an interview with Front Office Sports on Tuesday, NASCAR CEO Steve O'Donnell covered several topics, including the highly anticipated Days of Thunder sequel, starring Tom Cruise as fictional NASCAR driver Cole Trickle. Anne Hathaway will star alongside Cruise with the film set to release in the summer of 2028.
O'Donnell said in Tuesday's interview that Cruise actually expressed a desire to race an ARCA car in preparation for the movie. He is well-known for doing many of his own stunts, including incredibly daring action scenes in the Mission Impossible franchise. Below the top three NASCAR divisions, ARCA is considered to be the fourth level of stock car racing.
