Speedway Junky - 5.5/10

Jesse Bradford
Daryll Hannah
Jonathan Taylor Thomas

Johnny(Bradford) Is a runaway trying to get to North Carolina to be a Racecar driver. He goes to Vegas hoping to win enough to get there but ends up broke and falls in with a crowd of hustlers, druggies and thieves.

The story lacks heart. The relationship between straight boy and gay boy seems to be the focus of the movie, but it's bogged down by everything else that the relationship doesn't develop, at least it doesn't seem to until the end. It's a good story told not so good. Be forgiving when you watch it and you'll like it.
