Ethel Grimshaw documentary released today

4-1-12: The success and tragedy of 92 year old Ethel Grimshaw still lies fresh in the minds of many within the Dash Cup Series. As a one-off rookie driver with a underfunded team, Grimshaw managed the impossible. In her very first stock car race (let alone first taste of driving a high performance vehicle), she pulled off a huge upset victory in the first race of the new series. A senior citizen winning a stock car race is simply absurd, yet Ethel Grimshaw proved the naysayers wrong.

The next week however, Grimshaw suffered fatal injuries in a race ending multi car pileup at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The documentary, titled "Too Fast for Age" chronicles Grimshaw's decision to pursue one of her bucket list dreams: driving a race car. The film has recieved widespread praise among critics and was called a "work of excellence" by Ebert and Roper and described as a "must see" by former Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip

The film, already an award winner at the Sundance Festival, premieres across the country tonight at 12AM.

you do realize that the 2011 Dash Cup series isn't canon, right?

2012 is close enough, plus it's an ISRA inside joke
