Continuity: When Cole arrives at the track to test Rowdy's car his bike comes through the smoke with lights on. When he arrives at the car (or right before the car) lights are off.

Audio problem: At the Daytona 500, Cole bumps the race leader (Wheeler, I believe) and says "Remember me?" His lips don't move.

Factual error: A Nascar driver can't go from the pits, to top speed, and pass 43 other cars in only three laps. The drivers get to top speed very quickly and they do not have an extra gear to shift into, like Cruise did when he decided to just run through all 43 cars to first place. Cruise manages this awesome feat at the end of the race. Amazing racing.

Continuity: During one of the races in the movie, Cole comes in the pits. It shows him coming down pit road going about 35 mph. A car pulls out in front of him a few spots before he reaches his own pit spot, he slams on his brakes, slides sideways, and the camera shows a wide shot of him hitting the wall on the pit road. When it shows his car hitting the wall (and Mark Martin's car) he has to be going at least 60 mph.

Factual error: I don't know many men who can jump out of a 150 degree race car after 500 miles, not have anything to drink and immediately have a 100 yd footrace with their crew chief. No matter how many drinks of water a driver might receive, he is physically and mentally exhausted after driving 500 miles at around 200 mph inside a 120°F-140°F racecar which he has used to dance around within a tightly packed group of cars.
