What is really great about the movie though is that it is based upon the true story of Vince Papale. Except that it seems in reality, his life was not taking a serious depressing turn that lead to him trying out for the Philadelphia Eagles. He just decided to do so.

Well, at the very least, the No. 83 car will have an “Invincible” sticker on the roof courtesy of former Philadelphia Eagle Vince Papale.

Papale’s unlikely and inspirational tale of trying out for the Eagles and making the team in 1976 at the age of 30 was turned into a movie in 2006. Papale was at Pocono Raceway on Saturday wearing a Red Bull shirt and pulling for Vickers to win his first Cup race of the season.

Papale has toured the Red Bull facility and spoke to the team before the Daytona 500.

“I’ve sort of been like their mascot,” Papale said. “They’re the nicest guys in the world. It’s really a tremendous fraternity.”
