Plot

Ricky Bobby, a NASCAR racing sensation, lives by the motto, "If you ain't first, you're last." Rising from the pit crew to become a top driver thanks to his daredevil antics and the support of his best friend and teammate, Cal Naughton Jr., Ricky enjoys an extravagant lifestyle, fame, and success on the track. His unorthodox methods and brash persona make him a crowd favorite, while his dominance in the sport seems unchallenged. Alongside his personal and professional life, Ricky grapples with his absentee father's influence, who left him with nothing but the aforementioned motto and a need for speed.

However, Ricky's world is turned upside down when a highly skilled, flamboyant French Formula One driver, Jean Girard, enters the NASCAR scene, challenging Ricky's position as the top racer. This rivalry brings about a series of comedic and dramatic events that test Ricky's relationships, career, and self-esteem. Faced with real competition for the first time, he must confront his fears, reassess his life's motto, and find what truly drives him, both on and off the race track. Alongside, Ricky's friendship with Cal is put to the test as they navigate the changing dynamics of their professional careers and personal aspirations amidst the high stakes of NASCAR racing.
