What happens
Speedway is a 1968 American musical action comedy film directed by Norman Taurog, starring Elvis Presley as a racecar driver and Nancy Sinatra (in her last film role) as his romantic interest. The film also features Bill Bixby in his second on-screen appearance alongside Presley, after 1967's Clambake. Speedway earned mixed reviews and was a box office disappointment, but is considered the first film about NASCAR racing, and has been credited with increasing knowledge about the sport.
