The Circuit
Nice girls finish fast
Directed by Peter Werner
Produced by Von Zerneck-Samuels Productions, Walt Disney Television
A family-centered racing drama about a widowed father and his resentful daughter navigating professional ambition, personal loss, and romantic entanglement within the competitive world of motorsports.
Al Shines, former king of the US race car track circuit, has a hard time starting his own team, once he's fired by his sponsor Robin Cates. Robin hired Al's immature daughter Kylie Shines instead. She resents Al's inevitable 'absence' as a widowed father, as well as the reigning champion, equally young but professionally vetted Kid Walker. Kylie tries to prove herself against Kid while having an on-off affair with him. Cates's marketing strategy dictates his intentions to manipulate Walker and both Shines racers.
