Racing Dreams follows 3 young karting drivers including 11-year-old (she’s now 14) Annabeth Barnes. The movie won best Documentary at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival and is set for its release in commercial theaters this May.

Annabeth, who began racing when she was 7, had this to say about racing “It’s always what I’ve wanted to do, I mean other people they want to be doctors or lawyers, whatever but I just want to be a race car driver, that’s all I’ve ever wanted to do.” Her bio reads “It is hard to imagine a young female driver with more championships (17) then her age.” She even won 18 out of 22 races during her rookie season in 2004. She is one to watch.
