Racing Stock

Directed by Patrick Steel (2020)

15-year-old Taylor Borthwick is a stock car racer, like her father and her grandfather before her. As she turns 16 she will move into the adult leagues, racing bigger, faster cars against men twice her age. It’s a dangerous sport: does she have what it takes?
