"Red Dirt Rising" may be ready by fall

ARCHDALE, N.C. - Fans of early NASCAR days will have to wait a little longer to see the locally produced movie, Red Dirt Rising. Based on a book by Archdale writer, Gail Cauble Gurley, called “Red Dirt Tracks”, the film was originally scheduled to be released this month.

However, according to Gurley, some scenes still need to be shot due to uncooperative weather conditions last year and production issues. "We don't know when it will be ready for release. It may be late this fall," said Gurley. "We're still working very hard to get this completed but I'm learning that it takes a long time. Rome wasn't built in a day! I've seen some of the scenes from the editor and they really look great"
