NASCAR:
CAR–HOWARD’S RUSH
INDIANAPOLIS – Ron Howard got to drive the pace car that led the field to the green flag of last Sunday’s Brickyard 400. He wasn’t just visiting the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for fun and games, though. The award-winning director is working on a motorsports-themed movie – “Rush,” the story of the 1970s rivalry between Formula One stars James Hunt and Niki Lauda. And while the scene in NASCAR is wildly different than Europe’s elite F1 series, Howard still saw value in getting as close a look as he could at what a driver experiences to help Howard reproduce that feeling on film.
