Continuity: You see Ricky Bobby is racing with the giant Fig Newton sticker on his windshield, when he is crashing it disappears.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Reese Bobby is getting thrown out of Ricky's school, if you look in the window to the right of the screen, you can see crew members backing up with the camera.

Factual error: The race held at Texas Motor Speedway has signs showing that it is the Dickies 500. That race is held in November and ends after dark. The race is finished in the daylight.

Continuity: In the scene where Ricky is praying, when Carly and Ricky are talking back and forth, you see Cal's hand changing positions between shots. In one of the shots right before they "do it" on the table, they show Ricky, then show Carly, and when they show Carly, Cal has a beer in his hand for that second only.

Other: Ricky Bobby's uniform has Winston cup logo on top right. Pics on magazine covers have Nextel cup logo on uniform.

Other: When Ricky, Cal, and Lucious are walking outside the hospital, Cal asks Ricky for permission to win a couple of races. However, on the DVD subtitles, it says that Cal asked to win a few, not a couple.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene towards the end of the movie when Reese is in the racetrack parking lot, sitting on the hood of his car talking to Ricky Bobby and his girlfriend, you can see the reflection of a boom microphone in two shots.

Continuity: in the beginning when Ricky Bobby is a baby he pulls the car out of the parking lot and turns and you can see that he uses both hands to turn, but later we find out that he uses one hand to turn and the other to push a bat to push down the gas pedal.

Deliberate "mistake": When Ricky is pinned to the table and has his arm broken by Jean, he has the bone between his elbow and shoulder broken. However, when they show him trying to saw off the cast with a knife, it ends right above his elbow.

Factual error: At the Talladega 500 race you can see the Food City 500 logo in the infield when they show the blimp view of the track.

Factual error: In the scene where Reese Bobby gets kicked out of school during "Show and Tell," he drives off in a 69' Chevelle with Weld Racing Prostar rims. However, Weld Racing Prostar rims were not manufactured until the 90's.

Continuity: During the final crash at Talladega, Ricky Bobby's car is upside down, but on the laptop screen from which Lucius is tracking the race the car is right side up.

Continuity: In the scene where Ricky is signing autographs and signs his assistant's head, the almost completed signature on the left side of her head (viewer's right) changes between when he stops signing and when she apologizes for standing.

Revealing: When Bobby is being chased by the police in his Dad's car it is blatantly obvious that Will Ferrell is not driving.

Continuity: In the scene when Ricky Bobby is playing basketball with the people in wheelchairs, at the end of one quick shot, he's about to stand up from the wheelchair, then the camera cuts closer and he is sitting down.

Factual error: When Jean and Ricky get ready for their one-on-one showdown at the Talladega 500 (which is completely unrealistic in and of itself), they are side-by-side at the restart. In NASCAR, all lead lap cars start single file in the outside line on restarts, with lapped cars to the inside. Since they were both on the lead lap, Ricky would have started behind Jean, not next to him.

Continuity: When Ricky tries to come back from his crash and pulls in the pits, he throws his helmet to the ground and starts running away. When he's down to his underwear, his helmet is back on.

Continuity: When Ricky is talking to Carl Jr on the phone a pillow behind him disappears then reappears in different positions several times during the conversation.

Continuity: When Ricky and Cal are arguing before the final race, Carley does not have her sunglasses on in one shot, but when the camera cuts to the next shot from over Ricky's shoulder, they are suddenly on, with no time for her to do so.

Continuity: After Ricky drives his dad's car there is much damage to the driver's side. Near the end of the movie when his dad is waiting for him outside of the racetrack he is standing by the same car with much less damage to the driver's side.
