Door de week zwijgen de motoren op het circuit. Maar in het weekend breekt de dag des oordeels aan. Dan denderen de stockcars over de baan met een snelheid van 300 km per uur. Cole Trickle heeft zijn zinnen gezet op de overwinning in een van de zwaarste autoraces van de wereld: de Daytona 500. Maar voor het zover is heeft Cole nog het een en ander uit te vechten met zijn teambaas Harry Hogge.
Nee, helaas is Days of Thunder nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
