Nascar is building 80 cars for the the sequel to Days Of Thunder, NASCAR CEO Steve O’Donnell mentioned in a podcast-style interview

I will tell you, we’re producing probably over 80 race cars that are going to be part of this. Some we don’t expect to be back, that they’ll be wrecked.”

O’Donnell said the wrecked cars may be taken and left in places across the country and globe to help grow interest in NASCAR.

“You look at this long term of, OK, you’ve got race cars, some of them have been wrecked in the movie. Where can we leave these?” the CEO said in the Oct. 13 interview. “It’s an opportunity for us across the board.”

The new “Days of Thunder” is reportedly scheduled to start filming in March 2027. It is set to release in theaters on June 2, 2028.
