The film centers on racers Annabeth Barnes (11 years old), Josh Hobson (12), and Brandon Warren (13) during a single season of WKA racing, where success can lead to sponsorships and a NASCAR career. All three face challenges off the track as well as on as they come of age in the surprisingly high-pressure world of go-kart racing.

Chasing the Horizon takes a look at a team's preparation for the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, one of the most grueling off-road racing events in the world. It is known as such because of the extreme conditions which the race is set in, the length of the race, and spectators have even been known to set up booby traps on the course for their own entertainment. The team that the film takes a look at is a rookie trio called Team Horizon. Milo Brown is an ex-con and junkyard owner but is also the team's captain. Jeff Lloyd was once a homeless man who went on to become a millionaire and racecar driver. Toby O'Mara serves as the team chief mechanic and co-driver, but he is also a plumber. The three men come together and form a sort of dysfunctional family to compete in this grand event. The film takes a look at the ups and downs of the crew's experiences in the days that lead up to the actual race and the viewer sees moments of laughter and comedy but also times of sadness.

Il obtient l'autorisation de suivre le champion pendant un week-end de Grand Prix. Lors du Grand Prix de Monaco 1971, que Stewart va d'ailleurs remporter, la caméra du cinéaste se glisse dans l'intimité du champion alors au faîte de sa gloire, tant sur le circuit qu'en dehors, aux côtés de son épouse Helen.

Super Speedway vous immerge complètement dans un tout technique incroyablement détaillé avant de vous faire embarquer, via des plans semi-subjectifs particulièrement enthousiasmants, sur l'un de ces monstres de circuit que le film ne cesse de contempler et même d'implorer, dans toute sa perfection technique, affirmant peu à peu le pouvoir de conviction presque mystique qui frappe certains surhommes, adeptes pratiquants de vitesse et adorateurs des limites physiques admises. Ce film IMAX a été filmé en partie sur le circuit de Toronto, au Canada, lors des essais pour un grand prix.
