Britney Spears Skids Into Her Second Lead Role

Untitled: Britney Nascar Project
Britney Spears has chose her second role, despite the poor showing of her first big-screen effort "Crossroads", reports People News.

The Louisiana saucepot is to star as a racing driver on the Nascar circuit in a "Days of Thunder"-style tyre-squealer.

Britney has been keen to get back in front of the camera and is thought to have had designs on the role of the love interest in "Spider-Man", a part that eventually went to Kirsten Dunst.

An insider told the Sun: "There is no title yet but the film is inspired by one of Britney's favourite movies, "Days Of Thunder," which starred Tom Cruise.

The as-yet untitled movie will start filming in October.
