As a long-time gamer and movie enthusiast, I must admit that Sydney Sweeney‘s recent NASCAR adventure has left me absolutely thrilled! Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I had my fair share of racing games, but nothing compares to seeing this talented actress tearing up the tracks in real life.
Sydney Sweeney has primarily gained recognition through her spellbinding roles in ‘Euphoria’ and ‘The White Lotus’, both accessible via a Max subscription. However, this past weekend saw an exhilarating departure from the usual for her as she plunged into the realm of high-speed racing. This experience now has me considering her as the ideal candidate should the anticipated ‘Days of Thunder’ sequel ever come to fruition. The 27-year-old actress found herself at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina over the weekend, where she delved into the heart of NASCAR culture, even sharing the race track with none other than the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney.
The star of Madame Web posted a video on her TikTok account Syds_Garage, hinting she might be planning to expand her garage. In one picture, Sweeney can be seen wearing a blue racing suit and smiling for the camera while holding up her helmet near the famous Concord racetrack.
Another shot captures her sheer delight as she leans out of a car window, her arms triumphantly raised in the sky. Come on, the Days of Thunder script practically writes itself!
For me, the real kicker was witnessing her in the driver’s seat. In a single snapshot, Sweeney is shown firmly grasping the steering wheel, beaming her silver-screen smile, and navigating the track effortlessly, as if she was born for it.
It’s not the first occasion that the actress known as Anyone But You has left fans in awe of her car enthusiasm. Not only does she have a casual fascination with cars, but her affection runs deeper – her family background is deeply rooted in automotive trades, and she personally shares this passion. Her venture, Syd’s Garage, serves as a testament to this dedication, where she restores vintage automobiles, such as the 1969 Ford Bronco she refurbished during lockdown. In an interview with BAZAAR.com, she admitted:
Growing up, it was my twin babysitters who were once whizzing through racetracks as professional drivers. I frequented these tracks alongside them, and the roaring engines ignited a dream within me – I aspired to become a race car driver myself one day.
Following her impressive performance on the racetrack over the weekend, it appears that her dream might not be out of reach. What’s particularly thrilling about this NASCAR journey is the possibility of life mirroring art. Sweeney’s infectious and fearless immersion into the racing community seems tailor-made for a leading role in a Days of Thunder remake—or perhaps even better, the long-discussed sequel. The 1990 cult favorite, with Tom Cruise portraying Cole Trickle, encapsulated the high-stakes drama of NASCAR racing and has been the topic of recent revival discussions. As per a recent report from The Hollywood Reporter, Cruise is contemplating resurrecting Days of Thunder, capitalizing on the success of Top Gun: Maverick. Let me tell you, Sweeney could be an outstanding apprentice for Cole. Hand over my money now!
Currently, fans of the actress from “Everything Sucks!” are in for an exciting ride as she demonstrates her acting versatility. Recently, she has been featured in one of this year’s top horror movies, “Immaculate,” and her busy schedule shows no signs of abating. In September, her latest project, “Eden,” premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival with great enthusiasm. Upcoming projects include “Echo Valley” and a biopic about boxer Christy Martin (currently untitled), as well as the much-anticipated adaptation of “The Housemaid” from a book. With such a wide variety of roles, Sweeney is quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s most in-demand performers. If there is indeed a sequel to “Days of Thunder,” it remains to be seen if she could find room for it in her packed schedule.
We’ll reach out if there’s any further news regarding Sweeney’s NASCAR aspirations. In the meantime, enjoy watching “Anyone But You” and “Madame Web,” both available for streaming with a Netflix subscription.
