Dirt Track Danny Hanson: For the Love of the Game

There's NASCAR, and then there's dirt-track racing. Dirt Track Danny Hanson serves up a portrait of Wisconsin racer Danny Hanson, who sells farming equipment during the week, works on his beat-up car at night, and generally wins competitions on weekends racing in a dirt-track league. Naturally competitive but low-key, Hanson didn't begin racing until he was in his 40s, and only started picking up trophies in his 50s. Hanson races for the fun of it (at a steep financial cost) and his wife supports his passion. Viewers will meet some of Hanson's competitors (a few more dangerous than others), while also getting glimpses of his home life, work, and efforts to add another national title to the several he has already won. A pleasant profile of a man pursuing a sport/hobby that truly makes him happy, this is recommended. Aud: P. (T. Keogh)
