A mock rock Journey-inspired music video teaser for NAMCAR Night Race, a comedy depicting a model car racing league. The video features the original NAMCAR Night Race theme ‘Race to Live, Race to Not Die’. Drivers push the limits of their toy cars, friendships and bitter rivalries as they brave extremely fake conditions and the final frontier in racing, a frontier of plastic, plaster and diecast metal.
