Deadline reports that Victoria Mahoney is set to helm a new rom-com centered around NASCAR for Amazon MGM Studios. It will be produced by Will Smith and written by Alison Rose Greenberg.
According to Deadline the movie “follows Lyla, an ambitious sports agent who loses her superstar client before the start of NASCAR’s season and decides to take a chance on a rebellious female dirt track racer, 17-year-old Piper Kyte. With her career on the line, Lyla’s challenge — getting Piper NASCAR-ready — is only won if she can also reform Piper’s reclusive father, Matthew Kyte, a former NASCAR champion who infamously walked away from the sport and hasn’t been seen in four years.”
Along with Will Smith, The Chainsmokers duo of Drew Taggart and Alex Pall, will also serve as producers.
