Directed by Adam Carolla, this documentary chronicles the car-racing career of the late Paul Newman, who was also an Oscar-winning actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Incredibly, Newman did not start racing cars until he was well into his 40's but he managed to make a name for himself as a serious driver, eventually buying his own racing team and going on to win four national championships.

Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman (2015)
83 min
The world knows Paul Newman as an Academy Award winning actor with a fifty-plus year career as one of the most prolific and revered actors in American Cinema. He was also well known for his philanthropy; Newman's Own has given more than four hundred and thirty million dollars to charities around the world. Yet few know the gasoline-fueled passion that became so important in this complex, multifaceted man's makeup. Newman’s deep-seated passion for racing was so intense it nearly sidelined his acting career. His racing career spanned thirty-five years; Newman won four national championships as a driver and eight championships as an owner. Not bad for a guy who didn't even start racing until he was forty-seven years old.
