Friday Night Thunder is the first-ever docu-soap series about the exhilarating and dangerous world of sprint car racing as seen through the lives of five Indigenous racing families. Car racing at Ohsweken Speedway is a time-honoured and generational tradition among many families in the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory in southern Ontario. Friday Night Thunder explores the minds and lives of Indigenous race car drivers and their families that come together every week to compete in one of the most dangerous forms of grassroots dirt track racing in pursuit of not much more than the thrill and bragging rights of a win.
