Star Wars... two sets of three.
Three Spiderman films, and by the end of next year there will have been three Batman movies...
Pirates of the Caribbean originally came in three parts...
Raiders of the Lost Ark originally had two follow ups...
What does any of this have to do with racing?
Hollywood loves a twist. And the movie of the Brickyard 400 always throws up a surprise.
Juan Pablo Montoya should have won the last two races at the Brickyard but let both races slip through his fingers. Will this weekend’s race be part three of the trilogy or the much needed franchise reboot? Montoya needs to hold on to this one, or "Indy, no more parachutes!"
Another cast member hoping to turn a great weekend at the box office into a successful follow up has to be Stewart Haas Racing. After starting and finishing in first and second at New Hampshire, (how many times do the front row of the grid finish in that order in a Cup race) the sequel needs feature another set of strong performances but, for the sake of their championship chances, with the “leading man” getting the spoils this time, not his “sidekick”.
The Brickyard is a wonderful setting for a NASCAR rollercoaster storyline...
I can’t wait to see who’s name is on top of the list come the credits!
