The Last American Hero (1973)

Poster for The Last American Hero

Instead of a white stallion, he rode a full race, powder blue stocker.

A young hell raiser quits his moonshine business and tries to become the best NASCAR racer the south has ever seen. Loosely based on the true story of NASCAR driver Junior Johnson.
