Revealing mistake: When Bobby is being chased by the police in his Dad's car it is blatantly obvious that a stunt double is driving.
Revealing mistake: As Ricky Bobby drives a test lap, one crew member tells another that Ricky Bobby is going only 26 miles an hour. In three close-ups of the vehicle, the reflection of the bleachers can be seen on the windshield. The reflection does not change. The vehicle is not moving.
Continuity mistake: You see Ricky Bobby is racing with the giant Fig Newton sticker on his windshield, when he is crashing it disappears.
Ricky Bobby: Hi, I'm Ricky Bobby. If you don't chew Big Red, then f*** you.
Trivia: Jane Lynch plays Lucy Bobby, the mother of Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell). In real life, Lynch is only seven years older than Ferrell.
