The TV movie was produced as a back-door pilot for Fox Broadcasting Company.

Filming took place in Birmingham, Alabama, Charlotte, North Carolina, Concord, North Carolina, and Dallas, Texas. Filming was also done at Talladega Superspeedway.

Reviewer John Martin of The Spokesman-Review wrote, "I'd call this poorly acted stock-car soap opera a cross between 'The Dukes of Hazzard' and 'Melrose Place.' Two brothers (Ben Browder, Scott Gurney) fight over who’s the better driver in the NASCAR family team. Randy Travis is downright awful as a driver-turned preacher. The authentic racing footage is the movie’s only saving grace."

Reviewer Elizabeth Blackstock of wrote, "Now, I know you can't expect a lot from made-for-TV film, but I sat down to watch this the other day, and it was kind of like watching a soap opera but made for dudes. Less than 20 minutes in, Randy Travis advises the lead character to atone for his sins and open up his heart to God, because that's how you win races. And somehow, that's not even the best part. It's terrible. I loved every second of it. I need more."
