Simone is referring to methanol fire and it’s horrifying. Nobody can tell that you’re burning alive, and if they get too close, it spreads to them too.

[@jefmay3053]

Simone gives me an invisble fire 😍

[@cthulhuspawn6290]

I think there is a video or two on KZbin of it happening to the pit crew. Scary stuff.

George’s *hair* is prettier. George is a handsome fella, but Simone is a very pretty lady. They don’t hold a candle to you tho, boo 😘

[@slaymakerprime]

Thank you, I was going to the comments to explain this. I think I heard about it first on Parks and Rec, and I looked it up to see if it was real. Methanol. Absolutely terrifying.

[@Alran109]

Wrong kid died!

[@kenny240]

There are a number of reasons why they push the car. One being to avoid the car being stalled (which causes stresses on certain parts of the car). Also it keeps the running hours on the engines to a minimum, thus minimizing the chances of parts wearing out mid-race. The engines usually only last about 1000 miles, and are some pretty extreme examples of what can be done on that engine configuration. So, every tiny bit that you can save is a positive. Racing at the highest level of any given Motorsport is an exercise in extremes, so teams do whatever they can to gain an edge, or prevent themselves from losing an edge

[@rdlangston13]

They're also loud AF and I feel like having cars idling out to pit road all morning would have some effect on pre race ceremonies and kind of take away from the start your engines command before the race starts.

[@dedo7326]

@@rdlangston13that and especially these cars (not so much now since they are fuel injected) they wouldn’t even let off of the gas pedal for a lot of the plate tracks they do what’s called dragging breaks because the strain on the engine to lift off the gas would buring the injectors and pistons up. These cars are not meant to be ran anything but full throttle. Even at Bristol they would set the rev limiter lower so they could still run “full throttle”

[@jordandavenport5784]

Almost like first gear is 40mph

[@dand9244]

idk about now adays but in the past the first gear ratio was set to very high top speed ratios, they would even push the car out of the pits and (just guessing here) maybe its why they did rolling starts? i think nascar needs to have a bit more respect, top speed racing close to other cars is pretty intense, its just a different thing than formula one

[@steves2241]

They also push the car out to save gas, so they can go as far as possible on the gas in the tank.

[@havinginitiative6314]

Fun fact: This is Christopher Nolan's favorite comedy.

[@CharlieBrown20XD6]

I can see why. It's actually a well constructed story where every character has an arc. Even the villain just wants to be defeated

4:53 That's Dale Earnhardt Jr., and yes, he's a very famous racer. He's retired now, but he won the NASCAR Cup Series 26 times, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame just last year. His father was also a popular racer, but he died in a crash during a race.

[@Warmountian]

Not to mention his dad was one of if not the greatest drivers of all time he once cleaned his windshield mid race

[@johngage856]

I thought calling for Tom Cruise was just some Scientology thing, but I forgot it may be a Days of Thunder reference. Either way, it's hilarious.

[@tempsitch5632]

Definitely a Scientology thing.

[@BigMateo24]

John C Reilly is in both movies. How can it NOT be a Days of Thunder reference?

[@tj_2701]

Definitely a Days Of Thunder reference

[@tempsitch5632]

You guys are really really dumb.

[@mysonandme8424]

​@@BigMateo24 Here's how. He's referencing heads of religions to pray to, so including Tom Cruise is the joke because he's one of the biggest outspoken and famous advocates of scientology. I'm not saying there can't be a little nod to Days of Thunder, because it was a racing movie too, but bringing Tom's name up in that context, praying to religious leaders, wouldn't make any sense if he wasn't so famous and well known as being like...the top guy, celebrity, in scientology. I'm not sure of his exact status but everybody knows he's up there and...someBODY very important on it. That's what makes the joke work so well in this scene with Will Ferrell. Other comedy bits, skits, cartoons, etc, have used Tom's position in Scientology in similar premises.

[@artao5]

I want to see outtakes of Will and Sacha trying to make each other break character and laugh.

This is in my top 5 favorite comedies of all time. The kids disrespecting Chip at the dinner table is one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen lmao.

[@griffinizpimpin]

Apparently the actor that played Ricky's son Walker died a couple years ago from suicide. He served 6 years in the military and suffered from PTSD.

[@MeganHughes-yp4fy]

That sucks...damn.

[@ch44227]

This was the first time that John C. Reily co star in a big comedy. He did tons of movies before this, but they usually were small roles. The director loved the chemistry between the two so much, but was disappointed we didn't see more of it because their characters went their separate ways. So they came up with Step Brothers, so we could see more of them together. Also I think it was after Step Brothers John C. Reily got to star in his own movie called Walk Hard, a parody of the Johnny Cash movie Walk the Line. Although they kind of touch on all the biopic movies. I might put Walk Hard in my top five funniest movies I have ever seen. I can't recommend it enough. Do a reaction to that!

[@JasonHauser125]

Walk Hard is an underrated comedy, it's great.

[@kevinb314]

Made me happy that you said "Talla-dee-ga" at the beginning. Residents of the area that live there call it that, while pretty much everyone else calls it "Talla-day-ga". I don't really care either way, but do like to say "Talla-dee-ga" as well just to see who corrects me (as rarely as it comes up in conversation for me.)

When I was little I liked collecting hot wheels and was into race cars but since grew out of it now in adult hood. I see Nascar is a very southern sport despite having popularity every where in the states

The invisible fire is a real thing, that scene is definitely based on the well known video of a pit crew and driver engulfed in invisible fire, which is worth checking out (not graphic and I don't think anyone was seriously hurt).

The ads on the cars aren't dramatized (Until Ricky sells the windshield to Fig Newton, lmao). But the ads you see on the cars are what you would see if you turned on any NASCAR race today. The sponsors pay BIG bucks to buy space on the vehicle. The larger the space, the more money they contribute. You'll also see vehicles that are completely branded for one particular sponsor with smaller sponsors having small stickers all around the car. Danica Patrick drove a car completely wrapped in a lime green "Go Daddy" logo. There are cars sponsored by Home Depot, Budweiser, Busch, and plenty more companies.

I'm throwing a movie suggestion out there: "Miracle", starring Kurt Russell. It's the greatest sports movie ever and is based on a true story about the 1980 U.S.A. hockey team. The pregame locker room speech before the big game is EPIC. You'd have to try and keep as much of it unedited as possible. You won't be disappointed.

[@johanjarvinen]

That win by the U.S. team is so over-mythologized. The U.S. basically played incredibly dirty and injured some of the Soviets teams biggest stars. And then in the revenge games in '81 Canada Cup and '82 World Championships they lost both of them handily. Someone really should turn that Red Army/Russian Five story into a movie of it's own, probably following Larianov and Fetisov's life stories. Maybe some day when the Russians stop being the absolute worst on the world stage. Ah well.

[@MarioCrosby]

@johanjarvinen Every team is guilty of playing dirty at some point, and nobody has ever made that claim as far as I know. Even if it is true, that team still had no business beating them. Going from losing 8 or 9 to 1 the week before and beating a machine like that Russian team was should have been nothing short of impossible. That includes if a couple of stars were banged up or injured.

Christopher Walken has had such a weird career in the choices of the roles he takes. Annie Hall The Deer Hunter A View to a Kill Suicide kings Balls of Fury

The house they filmed in was my elementary school friends house on Lake Norman. Apparently they threw a big party with all the actors after filming was finished and she got to hang out with all of them. Idk, not important but I thought I would share 😂

The advertisements on the car, besides the windshield ad, and the advertisements on the suits are pretty accurate to real life.

I just notice that John C Reilly character Cal calls himself Dr Watts like Dr Watson when Sacha Baron Cohen comes in and when Will character Bobby is about to have his come back race Cal calls Bobby Holms a film they make and release 12 years later Holmes and Watson.

The ads on the cars are the sponsors for the drivers!

I wonder if George knows how to say Talladega correctly yet I couldn't tell by watching the video

After reacting to this, you MUST react to Days of Thunder. One of my favorite movies.

[@TheAbominableDrFaustus]

This is Will Ferrell’s best movie ever. You can’t change my mind.

They push the cars from the garage to the staging area, because they don't want to use fuel. They do everything in the garage, add fuel, check everything on the car and every ounce of fuel is critical, and you can't add more once it's in staging. They'll race a couple hundred laps before they need fuel or until there is a caution which then they can come in to get more fuel and tires.

Walk Hard with John C. Reily is just as funny, Jack White, Jonah Hill, lots of cameos.

'Days of Thunder' should be required viewing before Talladega Nights
