The project is being developed as both a one-hour documentary and a potential series for a major motorsports network. While a GoFundMe page has helped fund the filming, additional financial support is needed to complete post-production.<\/p>\n
Open-wheeled modified racing is the beating heart of grassroots motorsports. Unlike the sprawling superspeedways seen in NASCAR\u2019s top series, these cars are typically on a half mile, making for intense, door-to-door action, quick laps, and high drama. This is where many of today\u2019s professional drivers got their start, cutting their teeth on local asphalt and dirt ovals, battling for trophies, bragging rights, and a shot at the next level.<\/p>\n
David Wittkower is a renowned documentary filmmaker with a passion for telling real, compelling human stories. Over the course of his career, he has captured the raw emotion, resilience, and spirit of his subjects. His past work has explored topics ranging from the Coast Guard, Wildland Firefighters to rodeo legends such as Lane Frost and Joe Beaver. His films have been seen on PBS, Discovery, Outdoor and History Channels to name a few.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is more than just a racing documentary – it\u2019s a story about passion, perseverance, and the love of the game,\u201d said Stacey Russell, one of the Producers of the film, car owner for Team 28, and lifelong racing fan.<\/p>\n
\u201cShort track racing is the backbone of motorsports, and \u2018TEAM 28\u2019 captures the grit, determination, and camaraderie that make this sport so special,\u201d Russell adds. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring this story to the fans who live and breathe racing just like we do, and bring to those who know nothing of the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n
