And so, yeah, it’s been super cool that I’ve been able to put a lot of my input on the movie and help them out and give them ideas and video clips from real life from the last 20 years that they probably haven’t known existed. Yeah, it’s been very cool.

Carson Hocevar added via Peter Stratta.

In the same conversation, the Spire driver also talked about his interaction with Tom Cruise last week Daytona during the drivers meeting, when the movie was announced to the public. He got to have a unforgettable with the Hollywood legend, who recognized him.

So, he was going down with the sailors, kind of glanced over to see if there was another one, saw it was me, looked back, and then realized it was me. And they were telling me, they were like, ‘Yeah, when he sees you, he’s going to recognize you. He loves you.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s super cool.’ That’s fun.

Carson Hocevar asserted.

Joey Logano wants to make a Cameo in Days of Thunder 2 like Carson Hocevar and many

One thing in the mind of many of the NASCAR drivers right now is a potential cameo in the Days of Thunder 2 movie. Three times champion Joey Logano wants to do it to get some dad creds while Joe Gibbs Racing’s Chase Briscoe wants do it for fun.

JL: Yeah, are you kidding me — that’s like wicked cool dad points to be in ‘Days of Thunder.

CB: Absolutely, I would love to be. I would think they are going to use some of the drivers. Maybe our car will just be in it, but I would love to be in there.

Joey Logano and Chase Briscoe said.

Many of the Cup drivers or their cars will make the big screen and that would help those team to market themselves to a broader market. It would be interesting to see how everything is going to playout in the coming days.
