Elvis Presley Speedway article page
of the Elvis Presley biography story

ElvisPresleyPicture This Elvis Presley biography Speedway page is dedicated to providing quality Elvis Presley biography information, pictures and articles for your entertainment. The contents of this Elvis Presley site is written by a fan for his fans about Speedway.



From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Speedway is a 1968 action film starring Elvis Presley as a racecar driver. Parts of the film were shot at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina and features the guest appearances of several of the top NASCAR drivers of the day.

Elvis burns up the tracks with Nancy Sinatra. She plays an Internal Revenue Service Investigator, who catches up with Elvis about his unpaid taxes. Bill Bixby plays Elvis’ somewhat shady manager. With two great singers like Elvis and Nancy, the plot takes a back seat to the great singing and dancing in the movie.

Elvis Presley Soundtrack

The soundtrack songs were recorded at MGM Studios in Culver City, California in June of 1967. Included is Nancy Sinatra's rendition of "Your Groovy Self" and her duet with Presley, "There Ain't Nothing Like A Song", the only time a non-Elvis track was allowed on one of his soundtrack albums (see Viva Las Vegas).

The music album was released in June of 1968 to coincide with the motion picture. This was the last Presley film to have a full soundtrack album (not counting the later Elvis: That's the Way it Is concert film).
