MOBILE, Ala. — The Gulf Coast Exploreum has announced the return of “NASCAR: The IMAX Experience” to the J.L. Bedsole IMAX Dome Theater this fall.

On Saturday, Sept. 5, guests can join stock car drivers from Mobile International Speedway as they showcase their cars in the Exploreum’s courtyard, all in honor of the film’s opening. Joining it this fall is “Animalopolis,” an IMAX that takes viewers into the magical world of animals.

“We have two great IMAX films this fall to complement the Bob the Builder — Project: Build It exhibit,” said Exploreum Assistant Director Caroline Etherton. “Guests have asked us to bring back the NASCAR IMAX for years, and it will now be joined by “Animalopolis,” a film that’s destined to be another big hit.”

The film will first take fans in reverse to review the history of America’s most popular spectator sport, then move into high-gear with a look at modern-day NASCAR.

The film will also discuss educational aspects of the sport by delving into the technology and underlying physics that drivers depend on.

“NASCAR: The IMAX Experience” is narrated by Golden Globe Award-winner, Kiefer Sutherland.

Show times for the film are Monday through Friday at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.; Saturday at 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.; and Sunday at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
