Steve Eckholdt who played "George", the victim of the movies' first race in the white Daytona, and Sherilyn Fenn who played "Keri" both guest starred in the same episode of NBC's "Friends" together, but, like in The Wraith, they don't share a scene. Eckholdt appears as "Mark" whom Ross (David Schwimmer) thinks is after his girlfriend, Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and Fenn appears as "Ginger", a girl with an artificial leg, who dates Joey (Matt LeBlanc). This is Season 3, Episode 14 entitled "The One With Phoebe's Ex-Partner".

Writer/ Director Mike Marvin also did "Hot Dog" in 1984 and later did "Hamburger" in 1986.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Sherilyn Fenn had an unconventional childhood. She and her two older sisters and a young half-sister and half-brother spent their growing-up years moving from place to place with their mother, who played keyboards for various rock bands. Sherilyn got used to changing schools and sets of friends. She recalls that "it was a little unsettling always being the 'new girl,' but I developed an instinct for knowing who my friends would be immediately." At 17, Fenn and her mother moved to Beverly Hills. The teenager decided to pursue an acting career and studied for a year with various teachers. After a brief stint as a Playboy bunny at the Century City (L.A.) Playboy Club, Ms. Fenn appeared in a number of small features, including "Out of Control," "The Wraith," opposite Charlie Sheen, and "Prep School," with Virginia Madsen.

The Turbo Interceptor car was allegedly built and offered as a kit, in a revised form for about 70 thousand dollars in the nineties by a guy called John Watson. Badged as the "Wraith II", his company was called Air Dynamics and it is believed that he didn't get any takers. It was later controversially offered by a company called Dalesar.
