Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is a 2006 United States comedy film about NASCAR racing. The film is directed by Adam McKay, who co-wrote the film with Will Ferrell. The film stars Ferrell with John C. Reilly, Sacha Baron Cohen, Michael Clarke Duncan, Leslie Bibb, Amy Adams, Gary Cole and Jane Lynch. Various Saturday Night Live alumni also make appearances.

Racetrack scenes at Texas Motor Speedway were shot at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, using a Porsche Cayenne outfitted with camera mounts on all four corners of the car.

In homage to Talladega Nights, NASCAR driver Carl Edwards climbed out of his wrecked automobile and ran across the finish line at the final lap of the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Aaron’s 499 (at Talladega) to a standing ovation from the crowd. NASCAR on Fox play-by-play commentator Mike Joy commented how it was “shades of Ricky Bobby.” Edwards was later asked about this on Larry King Live; he responded, “I’m kind of a Will Ferrell fan. He did that at the end of Talladega Nights.(wiki)
