Synopses & Reviews
WIDE OPEN looks at one full year on the NASCAR circuit as it's never been examined before. Shaun Assael takes us behind the scenes, into the pits and onto the tracks, examining the life, the loves, the blood feuds of the stars, the grunts, the drivers, the mechanics, the wives, the girlfriends, the moneymen--everyone and anyone who makes things happen. WIDE OPEN is a funny, tragic, dramatic journey inside a world that has long been closed.
