"Red Dirt Rising" The Movie
| Based on a true story, this film shares
with us a decade in the lives of Jimmie Lewallen and his wife Carrie as they
experience the joys of love and marriage alongside the tragedies of war and
poverty (1939-1949). Jimmie and his friends, Bill Blair and Fred Harb, find
escape from life's challenges in racing born out of hauling moonshine on
warm North Carolina evenings and inadvertently become racing's earliest
heroes. Ultimately, their antics laid the groundwork for what has become one
of the most lucrative sports in the world. A number of racing firsts occur
during The Fightin' Forties, making this film a sensational history lesson
as well as an exciting journey of romance, friendship and action. |
