Last Thursday, Marcia and I watched “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” starring a huge cast that included Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Leslie Bibb, Amy Adams, Michael Clarke Duncan, Gary Cole, Jane Lynch, and Sacha Baron Cohen.

So obviously this movie is about a NASCAR driver. But Ricky Bobby’s story starts from birth. His father (Gary Cole) is a semi-pro racer and is driving well over the speed limit to get his wife (Jane Lynch) to the hospital, as she is about to give birth. When she lets him know that he has passed the hospital, her husband hits the breaks, and out pops Ricky.
