“Rapid Response,” the new motorsports documentary that tells the story of the medical and safety professionals who refused to accept the high mortality rate among American race car drivers, will open in select theaters (below) on Friday, September 6.

In 1966, medical student and racing fan Stephen Olvey got the opportunity of a lifetime when he is asked to volunteer for the medical team at the Indianapolis 500. The insider view of a sport he loved quickly changed as he saw the inadequate medical support and life-saving capabilities.

Dr. Olvey was soon joined by longtime colleague and friend Dr. Terry Trammell as they set off on a mission to apply science to transform motorsports from the most deadly form of sports to one of the safest.

The movie is based on the book "Rapid Response - My Life as a Motorsports Life Saver" by Dr. Olvey, which features direct commentary by both Dr. Olvey and Dr. Trammell.

The film highlights the new era safety teams, especially at the Indianapolis 500—the forefront of today's motorsports safety programs. It also features interviews with drivers Mario Andretti, Bobby Unser, Al Unser, Parnelli Jones, Rick Mears and more.
