Racing dreams follows three kids during a pivotal, career-making or breaking year, who dream of one day racing in NASCAR.
Marshall Curry takes us into the lives of Annabeth (11 years old), Josh (12), and Brandon (13) as they compete for the World Karting Association’s National Championship. Clocking speeds of up to 70 mph in extreme racing karts, these young racers hope to follow the scores of great NASCAR drivers who got their start in racing’s version of the little league.
As they race their way through the year-long Championship series, they also navigate the treacherous road between childhood and young adulthood. In intimate moments of young love and family struggle we experience a time in life when all
of us are just beginning to figure out who we are.
