The true story of two South Carolina stock car race promoters and their seven drivers who embark on an epic journey during 1955 and fly the flag for the USA by racing their stock cars on a tour of the UK. The group, and their seven stock cars, were brought across the Atlantic by a flamboyant showman known as Digger Pugh. They find a very different culture and a London still peppered with flattened bombsites ten years after WW2. After many years of shortages and hardships, the British people were finding new hope and optimism and were due for some excitement in their lives. In 1954 stock car racing began in the UK and thousands flocked to see this new phenomenon started by Digger Pugh and some like-minded promoters. In the following year Pugh pulled off his biggest gamble by giving the new stock car fans their greatest show so far; an international England vs USA contest. Unfortunately, Digger Pugh's plans didn't run smoothly, so buckle up as it's a bumpy adventure from the early days of NASCAR through to the tour and an account of what became of those US race drivers known to the English fans as, The White Ghosts.
