It's blood, sweat, tears, mud, dirt, beer." -- Travis Pace, ..17 DIRT, a documentary by Jeff Bowden, follows a season inside the soul of American auto racing the World Class Street Stocks at the legendary Devils Bowl Speedway, in Mesquite, Texas, as the racers careen on and off the track toward the season championship. This season, Gayla Jones climbs out of the stands and puts on a pink firesuit, becoming the first and only woman driver at the Devils Bowl. She is sponsored by a former racer whose interest in her extends beyond the back straightaway. Gayla is also racing against her husband, Andy, who already competes in the same class. From the very first race, Gayla is a hot pink hazard, forced off the track by bullies and her own inexperience. The question for her is no longer about winning, but instead: can she survive the season?
