The score sounded very much like Days of thunder

It's not a plagiary but they sounded very similar, especially during the ending. But hey, I'm not complaining. I like that music a lot:) Matthew Margeson did a great job channeling Hans Zimmer's style from that movie.

They used a lot of 80's music that people today would recognise, as a constant reminder that the film is set in the 80's.

Plus it would seem anachronistic to use a more contemporary score.

A mix of DAYS OF THUNDER and HOOSIERS. If you listen to those two scores, the influence is very obvious, but that's exactly the sound they wanted.

Wow niceguys You really resume what It is !!!!! Hoosiers give me goosebumps everytime i listen To It.

edit: and also a bit of Vangelis style.

I can also hear a touch of Dave Gruisin who composed the music for "Lucas" and "the Goonies".
