It teaches him all about the race in an accurate way using proper terms without going so overboard that he can't understand what is going on. I only wish they put this film and its counter part on dvd and updated it a bit.

My 4 year old son loves this video. We have been checking it out and renewing it from our local library for months, and I'll likely buy it for him as a Christmas gift. It's just the right length for a child his age (30 min), and he wants to watch it nearly everyday. It also has some catchy little songs in it, which he likes to sing along to. I recommend it for the youngest(3-7 yrs) NASCAR/ Stock Car Racing fans.

Too bad you can't rate a movie with "zero" stars...I bought this video for my son who really likes race cars. I thought it would show race cars up close, but I was wrong. During the first 15 or 20 minutes the video follows some old dude (retired racer - I"m not a Nascar expert so maybe this guy is someone famous?) as he takes his granddaughter to a race track to look at racer's trailers, buy a tee-shirt, dance on some tires, etc. You also get to look at some rims and tires and there are some goofy songs about tires, too. Eventually they go into a driver's trailer, who apparantly is the father of one of the kids in the movie, but he's asleep and they have to wake him up. At this point you really haven't seen any good car scenes. By now my patience was exhausted so we put in a movie about trains, and watched that. Overall, a disappointing movie and not recommended. In case you're wondering I threw it out - how do I get my money back?
