The story of a man who could only count to #1.

Overview

The fastest man on four wheels, Ricky Bobby is one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history.

But Ricky's turbo-charged lifestyle hits an unexpected speed bump when he's bested by flamboyant Euro-idiot Jean Girard and reduced to a fear-ridden wreck.
