Factual error: In the opening shots, Joe's crew works on his race car inside the train's closed, moving boxcar. They rev the engine and make clouds of exhaust, causing one mechanic to cough and complain about the fumes. He should be doing more than just complaining. In fact, they should all be keeling over. Car engines create carbon monoxide gas, which in an enclosed space is deadly. (00:04:00)
