Racing Dreams is an award-winning coming-of-age story about three kids who dream of one day racing in NASCAR.  Academy Award® nominated documentary filmmaker, Marshall Curry, takes us into the lives of Annabeth (11 years old), Josh (12), and Brandon (13) as they compete for the championship in the World Karting Association’s National Series — widely considered the Little League for professional racing.  Clocking speeds of up to 70 mph, these young drivers race their way through the year-long National Series that spawned many of NASCAR’s top drivers.  Inspiring and family-friendly, Racing Dreams won Best Documentary at this year's Tribeca Film Festival.

“Four Stars: Marshall Curry’s outstanding documentary won’t just entertain your family for a little while. It’ll also inspire everyone to find a new passion.”
-Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

"The best film of the year so far… an instant classic.”
-Scott Feinberg, Los Angeles Times

“Absorbing…Racing Dreams is one of the rare documentaries you leave wishing it was a little bit longer.”
