Anderson, IN (November 9, 2008) - Anderson Speedway ThunderCar racing will be the focal point of a real life documentary as HBO Documentaries presents "Dirty Driving: ThunderCars of Indiana" this Thursday night at 10:00 pm. Filmed on location during the 2005 racing season the documentary focuses on the challenges and lives of several ThunderCar racers and their teams and families as they pursued their quest for a season championship. The film follows the teams to their workplaces, homes, race shops and the track and chronicles their pursuit of the elusive championship title.

"HBO and DCTV productions have done a masterful job in bringing to life what racing is and means at the grass root level of the sport", stated Rick Dawson, President of Anderson Speedway." Although this is just a snapshot of a few teams and obviously does not represent racers as a whole, the common denominator is the sport of racing and the unique drive it instills in racers. The film will be entertaining to all who watch it even if they are not necessarily race fans. It can be categorized as an action film, a comedy and a real life drama all rolled into one."

Produced by multiple award winning producer, Jon Alpert, Dirty Driving: ThunderCars in Indiana depicts a city which has been plagued by economics woes and uses the Speedway as a product of history, escape and optimism for its people. Mr. Alpert’s attention to the individual spirit and personalities is again carefully exemplified in this film as has been his trademark on his many award winning documentaries. The characters, situations and ensuing results are all real which helps deliver the many messages the documentary has to offer

"The camera work and editing is as good as any I have seen in racing", continues Dawson. "Jon is a first class producer and I consider it an honor that he chose Anderson for the site of this documentary. Anyone who has ever been involved in racing will be able to relate to some part of the film. However, viewers need to know that this is just a very small cross section of the racing community and what they see on this film is not the way it is all the time."
