A group of NASCAR drivers have banded together to partially recreate the trailer for Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby ahead of the Chase race at the Alabama track.

The trailer, which features RFK Racing's Ryan Preece as Ricky Bobby, begins with Reese Bobby (Kevin Harvick) racing down the road in a classic Ford Mustang with his pregnant wife, Lucy (Kennedy Eurich), in the backseat.
Once he passes the hospital, he slams on the brakes and brings Preece into the world using an unorthodox delivery method.

"Ryan Preece was born to become the fastest man alive," the narrator states as highlights play of Preece's Daytona win. The trailer then switches to several different scenes while showcasing prominent NASCAR figures in various roles from Talladega Nights.
Chris Buescher portrays racer Cal Naughton Jr. while Brad Keselowski plays team owner Larry Dennit Jr. Heather Preece has a role as Bobby's wife, Carley, while Jesse Love and Connor Zilisch play sons Walker and Texas Ranger.
Championship-winning IMSA driver Jordan Taylor even shows up as rival driver Jean Girard.
The trailer ends with a screen informing fans that the Chase race at Talladega Superspeedway will air on Oct. 25 on NBC. It also reminds fans that the 20th anniversary of the Will Ferrell-led NASCAR film is available in both physical and digital formats.
The return of Talladega Superspeedway to the schedule always brings about references to the 2006 comedy film. Preece, in particular, showcased the Wonder Bread car during his time at Stewart-Haas Racing. Then-teammate Chase Briscoe drove the Old Spice car while dressing up as Cal Naughton Jr.
Yet, this year hits differently with it being the 20th anniversary. NASCAR is actively getting involved in the festivities by hosting Dega Con at the 2.66-mile Alabama track.
This event will feature appearances from select cast members, the largest gathering of Ricky Bobby's in history, limited-edition merchandise, and a screening of the film.
