" We're out of here." " Don't I get, like, a free phone call or something?" " Dahlia, you sit down and you keep your mouth shut until deputy West gets off the phone." " Renault?" " Here you go." " Thanks." " Dad." "[Knocking]" " Yeah." "Been seeing you in here a lot lately." "[Sighing]" " What has he done now?" " You're that kid they call Light Bulb," "Right?" "Why do they call you that?" " Because they're ignorant." " No." "Really?" " My name is Watts." "You get it?" "Watts..." "Light Bulb." " Who'd you murderto get here?" " Caused a few fender benders, destroyed public property, inflicted bodily harm on a number of citizens, including one bride who was disrobed in front of St. Tristan's church." " It wasn't my fault."

" Oh, Vic, God knows we tore up this town when we were kids, but this is the third time in the past few months he's been in here." "Is everything..." "You know, okay with you guys?"

"We want our money back." " That thing is rigged." " Look, man, if Bobby Lebonte orJarrett or any of those other Nascar dudes can't get over on Gordon, what makes you think you can?" " How many people have beaten Gordon?" " Well, nobody that's walked into this little waffle house." " Then, what good is it, then?" " What good?" "I'll tell you what good it is." "The good is that no little freaky little private school boy with a little squared-off haircut and a Winnie the pooh knapsack is going to walk onto my virtual machine, stand toe-to-toe and go head-to-head with the best of the best."

" "Keep out"." "This where you got all the bodies buried?" " My dad's old shop." " What kind of shop?" " He used to build engines." "For Nascar." "You heard of it?" " He win anything?" " You want to see it?" "[Dahlia]:" "Hey..." "Looks like you." " He used to race before I was born." " Okay, I'm impressed." " That's him when he won Nascar engine builder of the year."

" So, uh, catch you later, Watts." " She's a girl from school." " Yeah, and the police station." "Nice group of friends you run around with." "What is it about our agreement you don't understand?" " I understand it." "Ljust don't get it." "I mean, all this..." "Look at all this stuff." "You should be proud of it." " I don't want you in here for anything." " Whatever." " You understand?" " You coming?" " Watts, why do you always have to ask?" "[Radio announcer]:" "City council today voted... [barking]" "[Police siren wailing.]" " Hey, Watts." "I want to talk to you." " I wasn't going that fast." "I swear." " What?" " The throttle sort of got stuck." " What are you talking about?" " What were you talking about?" " I don't know..." "Maybe we should talk about what you want to talk about first." " No, that's, ha, that's okay." " I wasn't sure if you knew about this." "IKF is coming back to Speedport." " The Champ Karts, here?" " Yeah, the Regionals..." "If I remember correctly, your dad won the IKF last time it was here." " Grand Nationals, '74." " Yeah." "He was something to see, your dad." "Anyway, I thought you might like to check it out." "Scott McKenna and a couple of the top teams are testing up there this afternoon." "Might be betterthan street racing." " Dad." "Dad?" " Yeah." " I saw deputy West this morning." " Oh, yeah?" " She said the IKF Regionals are coming back to Speedport." " Really?" " Yeah." "You know, she thought maybe we could put a ride together and race like we did before mom got sick." "I did pretty good in my first race, remember?" "Third place?" "You know?" "You said I showed natural ability." " Regionals is a lot different than racing Junior-1, Watts." " I know..." "I thought you'd show me some of the tricks that helped you win." " I don't think it's a good time right now." " Why don't you want to help me?" " Can we talk about this later?" " Yeah, like that's ever going to happen." "Why did you stop designing, anyway?" "Was it because of mom?" "[Zapping]" " Put that back in." " Tell me, Dad!" "Don't say people don't want you to design engines any more, because someone called you again last week." " Plug it in!" " Answerthe question!" " Give me that." " No." " Give it here." " No." " Why do you want to do this?" " Why don't you want to help me?" " Uh..." " Oh, hi, Jen." " This a bad time?" " A little family thing here." "Come on in." " Hey, Watts." " What can I do foryou?" " I've had this in the car for about a week, kept forgetting to bring it in." " I usually don't work on anything with less than eight cylinders..." "I'd say you're better off getting a new one." " Well, they just don't make blenders the way they used to." "And that one right there makes the smoothest margaritas you've evertasted." " Betterfix it up, then." " So, uh, Watts mention that the IKF is coming back to Speedport?" " Yeah, he, uh, said something about it." " Could be fun." " Oh, yeah, yeah, see." "That's, uh, it's shot." " Can you fix it?" " Take a day ortwo." " Okay." "Thanks." "You know, Vic?" "He's a good kid." "I see a lot of you in him." "[Music]" "Switchback" " Feel that." "That's precision engineering, my boy." "You got four Bridgestone tires that'll cut on a dime; you've got..." " How much?" " Uh... 4,000." " Dollars?" " You want to climb on the track, run with the best, you got to lay a little green." " Uh, he's only got a paper route." " Yeah, right." "[Bink]:" "Where are you going to get 4,000?" "Might as well be 4 million." " Hey, why don't you just get your old man to help?" " He's never going to know about this, you got it?" "Ever." " Okay, whatever." "Don't have an aneurysm." " You know, I got a $2,500 savings bond from my mom." "It's supposed to be for school, but if I raise the rest, I'm in." " Racing Rodney around the block is one thing." "But winning the Regionals, it's going to bring out the best karters in the State." "Those kids got sponsored rides." "What do you got?" " Ljust want to see how I stack up." " Hey, it's your life." "You want to hit the wall, go ahead." " Your optimistic attitude is infectious." " Hey, I'm a realist, brother." "I got both feet firmly on the ground!" "Oh, no!" " And what if I pull it off?" " Watts, guys like us, we always hit the wall..." "You can't get by Gordon." " Sometimes you got to rewrite the rules, Binks." "[Beeping]" "Come on, Gordon." "Show me something." "Yeah, ha-ha." "Yes!" " Nice, man." " You got him." "I don't believe it!" "[Tooms]:" "Keep it steady." "[Bink]:" "Everyone, come here!" "Watts is beating Gordon!" " Cool, Watts." "[Laughing]" " Go, Watts!" " Come on, you little sea urchin..." "Pound it, man." " Come on, Watts." " Watts, Watts, Watts, Watts, Watts..." "[Bink]:" "Woo-hoo." "Yeah, all right!" " Watts, way to go, bro." " Watts, Watts, Watts..." " Pound it!" " Watts, Watts, Watts..." " Ahh!" "[Cheering]" " Way to go, bro!" "[Bink]:" "Yes, Watts," "I don't believe this!" "You beat him." "You beat Gordon." "[Knocking]" " What do you want?" " Hi, I'm, uh, Watts Davies." "I don't know if you're aware of this, but the International Karting Federation is holding their regional championships here, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in buying some sponsorship..." "We're at the top of The world, you and I" "We've got a lot of time..." " What are you selling?" " Uh, sponsorship..." "for my racing team." " Since when do you have a team?" " I'm running in the IKF." " Sounds good..." "Just, uh, be sure there's no swimming pools near Speedport, huh?" "La la la la la la" "Sha la la la" "Sha, la, la, la, la, la" " Hi, I'm Watts Davies..." "Hi, I'm Watts Davies." "Hi, I'm Watts Davies..." "I'm not sure if you know this or not, but the International Karting Federation, they're holding their regional championships here this year." "My gold level plan includes a $100 donation, in..." "My gold plan includes a $100 donation, in which you will receive your company logo including the..." "A big logo on the team hat and jacket." "Um..." "My silver level plan, father, is a $50 contribution." "Now, with that, you and the church will receive your name embossed on the chassis along with a coloured picture of you sitting behind the wheel." "I'm sure you know, father, with God's money on my side," "I stand a good chance of doing well." " $50 for a picture of me behind the wheel?" "How much to take the kart around the track?" " You got to see this kart, man." "It's crazy." "It's all, like, podgy." "The wheels are so..." " Another cheque for 50 bucks." "How did you do it?" " Ljust sold them on the dream, man." " Hey, girls." " Ha-ha, look who we got here." " Hey, hey, leave him alone!" "Come on." " I got a news flash foryou." "You don't got the game forthe IKF." "Those guys walk on water." "And last time I checked, you don't." " Hey!" "[Snickering]" " Hold him, Ben." "[Knocking]" " I'm going to teach you a little lesson to save you a little heartache." " Give it here, Wells." " I'd hate to see you waste the next six weeks trying to put together a ride and then get your butt kicked in the qualifier." " Wells, don't..." "Rodney, don't do it!" " No!" " Watts?" " No, stop it!" " Watts, you okay?" " Take a look, Light Bulb." "[Alarm ringing.]" " Ugh!" "[Clamouring]" "[Zee]:" "Hey, what's going on?" " Watts." "Watts!" "What are you doing, man?" "Get out of here." "[Siren wailing]" " What happened?" " It's not entirely clear." "There was a fire at Zee's." "Seems Watts is involved." " He started it?" "Well, we haven't been able to get much out of him." "If there were others, he's not saying." "[Sighing]" " Oh, man." "Can I ask you a question?" "What were you thinking?" "What am I going to do with you, Watts?" "You realize the judge might send you to Hillside?" " Congratulations, I'll finally be out of your hair." " I'm not done talking to you." " How come it takes me getting arrested foryou to want to talk?" " What are you trying to prove?" " Nothing." " Ha, you sure proved that." "Where's that money you collected?" " Why?" " 'Cause we're going to give it back." " Ha..." "That's, that's beautiful, Dad, you know." "I, I would really like to, but it was lit on fire today." " Oh, this is funny?" "Huh, you think that's funny?" "I don't think it's funny, Watts..." "My kid getting arrested." " You weren't going to help me." " Don't make this about me." " Don't you get it?" "It is about you." "It's all about you." " Watts." "Get back here." "Watts!" " And with the Rotax 125, you will rule out there." "If I can just get you to sign..." " Oh, Watts." "Hey, little pyro." "You bust out or did someone post bail?" " I'm not in the mood." " Sorry." "I heard what happened." " Yeah, well, it'll probably be a front-page headline in the papertomorrow." " Don't let them beat you, Watts." " Hey, don't take this wrong, but you don't know nothing about me or my problems." " I know more than you think." " Okay, so, what do you suggest?" "Hey, I got it." "Maybe I should... take out my frustrations by scribbling paint over someone else's property..." "Would that make me feel better?" " Forget it." " All right, you want to talk about it, little dude?" " About what?" " Oh, I don't know, why don't we talk about my grandmother's underwear?" "Well, how about, uh, why I've been mopping all night, hm?" "After all, I didn't set off the sprinklers." " I'm sorry, Zee." "Sorry I screwed up." "Seems to be the only thing I'm really good at." " I don't know, man." "I saw you do something on that machine that nobody has ever done before." " Ha..." "It's, it's virtual reality, Zee." "You know, it's not reality." " Hey, we don't use that kind of language in here, okay?" "For some of us, this is the closest we're ever going to get." "Listen, you little speed freak, you know how to use one of these, huh?" "Come on." "Uh-huh, just what I thought." " Vic?" " Hey, Zee." " How you doing?" "Feels like it's been half a lifetime." "Yeah..." "Hey, how you feel about the IKF moving back to Speedport?" " Brings back a lot of memories." " Yeah." "You sure left some tasty stripes hanging on those walls." "[Chuckling]" "Looks like Watts there has yourtaste for speed." " You think?" " Yeah." "He's got that anger in his eyes, man." "Sometimes I scare myself" "I don't know where to turn" "I don't know lfl should teach or lfl should learn" "They both mean the world to me Though neitherl am not" "With all eyes" "Watching me they cast Their heads and cough" "When I'm caught on My street and still I'm" "Fighting" "You've got to stand On your own" " Dad." "Dad?" "And fight for what's right" "You've got to skip The middle man" "And keep your focus inside" "You got to stand On your heels" "Scream real loud 'Cause you won't" "Die" "You're allowed tonight" " You see those fenders?" " Yeah." " Put them over against that wall." "[Straining]" "Hey, Watts?" "Set those tires overthere by that metal beam." " What's going on?" " What do you see?" " Nothing." " Well, look again." "You see it?" " Yeah, I see it." " What do you see?" " Lots of junk." "What do you want me to say?" "Whoa." "[Laughing]" "No..." "No way." "No way!" " You know what they say:" ""One man's junk is another man's treasure."" "It's got all the key corners." "See?" "The hairpin." "And through here you got the chicane." "You got to be careful through this tricky part." "Got to keep your speed up, get to the right-hander, brake, hit the hammer down, and take her all the way home." "My dad built this for me when I was a kid to practice on." "So I could be the best of the best." "That's what you can be, Watts." "The best of the best." " Hey." " I got us a new engine." " I thought we were going to use the Comet." " That's just a prototype." "The thing is not even race-ready." " Well, we can make it race-ready." "You know, you and me." " No, there's too many bugs, not enough time." " But I thought..." " Look, if you want to race the IKF, this is the engine that's going to get you there." " Looks fast." " Oh, dude, believe it." "It's so fast." " It better be fast..." "Your social life needs all the help it can get." " Hey, Watts..." "Watts." "You really racing in the Regionals?" " I'm going to try." " I'll visit you in the pit." " I'll come, too." " Yeah, me too." " Come on, come on." "Let's go." "What are you doing talking to them, anyway?" " Nice!" " Did that just happen?" "Put me in forthat pit stuff." "[Laughing]" " So, what do you think?" " This one here or... there?" " Where you have it, I guess." "All right, bring her on out." "[Engine revving.]" " So, what's with the cans?" " This will help you keep your line..." "And your smoothness." "If you can make one lap in one minute without knocking over one can..." "You will be ready to race with the best." " That's all I got to do?" " That's it." " That's it?" "No problemo." "[Laughing]" " Oh..." " Whoa!" "Ohh!" "Ahh!" "This can't be done!" " You just did it." " It took me, like, eight minutes." "It's, it's impossible." " No it isn't." " Well, why don't you do it then?" " 'Cause I've got stuff to do." " Come on, Dad, show me your skills." "Come on, all right, all right." "Look, I'll give you a deal, all right?" "You get around this course in under a minute and hit no cans at all..." "I've got dinner detail forthe next two months." "Come on." "Anything you want for dinner." "Come on." "Come on." " I feel like lasagne tonight." " It was hilarious." " Hey." " Hey, Watts." " Hey, Kate." "You, uh, you want to go for a ride?" " What's up?" "Your old man give you the night off from junkyard patrol?" "Come on, ladies." " Let's go." " See you, Watts." " She's overrated, you know?" " Who?" " The future prom Queen." "Could be wrong, but I think you'd like your woman to have a little more... mystery." " Listen, about the other night..." " Forget it." "I'm beyond it." "Check this out." "This is Sno." "He really knows how to layer colour into distinctive form." "Look." "He's beautiful." " Who's this?" "Oh, that?" "Moi." "You?" "With a little help from Michelangelo." " You evertry to sell anything?" " It's kind of hard." "Buildings get very expensive, Watts." " No, I mean, like, on canvas." " Who would buy it?" " I would." " I'm flattered, but I think I'm going to stick to buildings for now." "See, in a couple of days this will be gone." "Sandblasted way, or covered by someone else's paint." "And that's okay, 'cause..." "I don't want anyone getting too attached to it." "So, want to make out with me now?" "Bet you thought I was serious." " Whoa!" " What the hell was that?" " Weren't you looking?" " Next time, give me a little warning." " On a race track, there are no warnings." "You go in prepared, you anticipate and you react..." "End of story." " Ohh!" "[Laughing]" " Whoo..." "Ha, ha!" "Gonna get you!" "Come on..." "Whoo!" "This isn't bumper cars, come on." " Oh, all right!" "Oh, you want to play rough." "[Vic]:" "Hey, where you going?" "[Watts]:" "When did you first know you wanted to design engines?" " February 14, 1976." "It was the Daytona 500, and what a race it was." "Richard Petty, he was the man to beat that year." "He was coming off of 13 wins in '75." "And he looked like a shoe-in to take home his record-breaking sixth 500." "Held the lead for almost the entire race." "Then, on the last lap," "David Pearson pulls out of Petty's draft and... both cars started spinning and crashing." "I mean, it was, it was chaos." "Debris flying everywhere." "It was one of the most exciting finishes the 500 ever had." "And I didn't see any of it." " What?" " Because at the moment that Pearson was making his move on Petty," "I found myself staring down in pit row at the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in a mechanic's jump suit." "She was standing up on this retaining wall, yelling her head off." "But even from where I was sitting, you could still see that fire in her eyes, you know." " It was mom." " Yeah." "And I realized at that moment two things:" "What I wanted to do with the rest of my life and who I wanted to spend it with." "It was what you might call a defining moment." " Hey, Scott." "What do you think of my son Rodney?" "Kid's got some talent." " Some." " This way, Scott." " Great." "Thanks." " Excuse me, Scott, hum, I'm a local racer." "I saw you doing the 360 spins at Speedport." " Davies' donuts." "You liked those?" "Pretty cool." " Davies' donuts?" " Yeah, I copied them off a guy named Vic Davies." " Vic Davies?" " The only guy to ever win three grand nationals." "I'm still chasing his lap record." " Yeah, I heard of him." "Thanks foryourtime." " Hey, what did you say your name was?" " Watts." " I look forward to racing you, Watts." " Okay, zero hour." "Time to show me what you got." " That's the best I can do it." "I ran, like, flat out." " Not bad. 54 seconds." " Fifty..." "Yes!" " Hey, Champ." "Come on in here." "My old racing colours." "Your mother always did like you in red." "See you in victory lane." "Music, music..." "You can feel You can feel..." "Music music music music" "Music music music music" "Music music music music" "Music music Music music music..." "[P.A.]:" "This is Bob Jenkins and Paul Romanov." "And we welcome you to day one of the IKF Regionals..." "Now, today is qualifying day." "Only the top 25 fastest drivers will qualify fortomorrow's feature race." "These drivers will be hitting speeds well over 100 miles an hour so there's no room for error." " That's a good point, Bob, 75 racers gunning for only 25 slots." "There's going to be a lot of sad faces." " You all set?" " There's a lot of big names out there." " Yeah, well, worry about them out there on the track..." "Not in here." "Let's go." "[P.A.]:" "All drivers to the pits." "Let's get ourfirst qualifying round underway." "Scott McKenna, the current reigning champion, will be first on the track." "I'm sure we're going to see a hot lap from this driver." " Oh, yeah, this kid's got it." "[Tooms]:" "Ooh, baby." " Okay, let's take a look at the competition." "We've got Kyle Walker." "He won the WKA championships last year." "Then there's the babe herself, Natalie Prefontaine." "She's looking mighty fine today." " Mighty fine." " The big question?" "Can local underdog, Watts Davies, fight his way onto the starting grid?" "Let's ask him." " Hey, back." " Go get 'em, Wattsy!" " You da man!" " Move back." "This area's restricted." " How you feeling?" " I think I'm going to heave." " Ha, ha, good." " Good?" "I always ran best when I felt like tossing my cookies." "It will go away." "Phil..." "Phil!" " Hey, Light Bulb..." "[Vic]:" "Need to talk to you." " Roadkill." "[Engine roaring.]" "[P.A.]:" "Scott McKenna is on the course." "Oh, he is worth watching, Bob." "Smooth as silk in the corners." "Oh, Scott McKenna has just clocked in at 105 miles an hour on the back stretch." "He is flying." "McKenna has just turned in a lap of 46 seconds flat." "Now, that should give him the provisional pole this afternoon, unless somebody can find more speed." "Next up, Rodney Wells." "He's a local kid..." "Watts Davies on deck." " Give me a hand." "Okay, now when you enterthe track, get yourtires good and hot." "Now, don't worry about the time, all right?" "Just concentrate on turning a good, smooth lap." "Everything else will take care of itself." "Got it?" " Got it." "[P.A.]:" "Looks like Rodney Wells has it dialled in." " Yeah!" " Loser!" " And no problems for Rodney Wells." "He puts kart number 34 solidly in the field tomorrow with a 48:06." " Burn 'em up, kid." "[P.A.]:" "Next up, is the number eight, the young fireball Watts Davies." "His name may be familiarto you." "His dad is none other than three-time national champ, Vic Davies, and those are some very big shoes to fill." " Oh, they sure are." "Watts will have to show some of his father's past magic if he wants to find a spot in tomorrow's race." "He has to do better than 48:27 to qualify." " He's in tight." "So let's hear it for Watts Davies." "I know you're young and I know you're not afraid" "What's that you say?" "But when it's time to go Is that what you say?" "I fear the thought And you finally realize" "What's that you say" "All alone in your head All alone inside" "What's that you say" "[Crowd booing and ahhing.]" "[P.A.]:" "Davies' spinout, Paul, leaves him with just one more attempt at a qualifying lap." "Yeah, it's gut-check time now, Bob." " You okay?" " Yeah, ljust lost it there." " All right, all right, refocus." "Find your line." "You can do this." "No sweat." "Go!" " And Watts Davies is back on track, but whoo-wee!" "That was one big miscue." " Are you going to do this all day?" "[P.A.]:" "All right, here we go." "It's the last chance to make it into the Regionals." "Watts Davies." "Just one lap." "The green flag is out." "All right, now, here we go." "He's approaching turn numberfive, where he had a spinout on his first lap." " Come on, Watts." "[P.A.]:" "Better line through the cornerthat time." "It's not looking good for Watts Davies." "He may not make the field." " Sorry, Watts, you gave it your best shot." " Oh, no, don't tell me." " You're in." "[P.A.]:" "Watts Davies makes an amazing rally, finishing with a 48:21." " Yes!" " Yeah!" "[P.A.]:" "He'll start inside row 8 in tomorrow's dash for Daytona." " Ha, just like his dad." " I was thinking we might tighten this gear ratio." " Hey." " Hey." " Uh..." "Hey, why don't you guys get yourself something to eat?" "You got a big day tomorrow." "I got some stuff to do." " What kind of stuff?" " Stuff..." "You know..." "Stuff." " Parents..." " Yeah, I know." "Ha, ha..." " Thought you might be getting a little thirsty." " Vic." "Yeah," "I was kind of going through withdrawal." "So, I hear congratulations is in order." "I heard you guys made it into the race tomorrow." " Yeah, going to give a shot." " Bet Watts is excited." " I don't know who's going to get less sleep tonight, him or me." " Thanks." "'Night." " Hey, Jan?" "I thought we might give that thing a little test drive." "See if it's up to your standards." "[Tires squealing.]" " You really love it, huh?" "Racing." " Yeah, sometimes, when I'm... driving, and everything's clicking, I feel like" "I could just ride flat out and no one can get by me." "And, of course, I start thinking of Scott McKenna..." "Kids like that." "Corporate sponsors, the best karts money can buy." "And I think to myself, what makes me so sure that I could beat that?" "If I could just... get in there tomorrow, you know?" "And really just hang with those guys..." "It wouldn't matterto me who wins." " Don't freak out on me, okay?" "It's just... for luck." " I'll tell you, if I have any hope of winning this thing" "I think I'm going to need a bit more luck than that." "[P.A.]:" "It is race day here at Speedport as yesterday's 25 fastest qualifiers get set to go." " We have reports of thunderstorms and lightnings in the area, so we'll keep a close eye on the sky as we anticipate the green flag, but Bob," "I'm excited..." "This is the Big One." "The Regionals." "A 25-lap showdown..." "Winner goes to the Nationals next month, down in Daytona." " Whoa..." "Is there something you want to let me in on here?" "[P.A.]:" "Attention, all drivers to the grid." " Hello, race fans, this is Benny Binks." "We've got us a real humdinger of a race happening today." "Back in the pack, local favourite Fireball Davies in 15th spot." " It's way tighter now!" " Okay?" " Yeah." " All right now, the first few laps, you're probably going to be forced from your line." "Just be patient." "When you see an opening, go for it." "[P.A.]:" "All crew members to the pit area..." "We're ready to go green." " Let's go, Rodney!" "[Whistling]" " Come on, whoo!" " Watch fortrouble." "Keep your eyes open." " Dad, that kid just cut me off." " All right." " I'm boxed in." " Stay on your line." "[P.A.]:" "And after one lap, the leader is Scott McKenna." " And Watts Davies is in 21st position." "That's not going to do it, folks." " Okay, stay on your line." " I'm trying, I'm trying." " Watch your braking." "Don't be anxious." "Wait foryour shot, Watts." " It's now or never, Dad." " Oh, we've got big trouble in the chicane." " Turn three." "Look out, look out!" "[P.A.]:" "I don't know how, but the leaders made it through." "Rodney Wells took a beating, but Watts Davies has jumped up into ninth place, making a big move on the field." "[Vic]:" "Good driving, Watts." " Boy, that was close." " All right, listen to me." "Listen." "Keep your eye on the starter." "When it goes green, make your move." " Come on!" "Let's go!" " Go!" "[P.A.]:" "Watts Davies moves up to sixth." " Good move, Watts!" " Hey, I found my line." "[P.A.]:" "Rodney Wells with the bump and Kyle Walker grabs some air." " Ahh...!" "[P.A.]:" "Watts Davies moves into third place and has his sites set on second." " All right!" " 34, Rodney Wells pushes his way back up the leader board." " All right, hold it right in there." "Hold it right in there now." " Come on, whoo!" "[P.A.]:" "We now have a great three-way battle going on forthe lead at turn 10." " Come on, Watts, go!" "[Rodney]:" "Okay, Light Bulb, the rules is..." "There ain't no rules." "[Thunder rumbling.]" " Red flag." "We have lightning on the track." "All drivers to the pit area." "Maintain your position..." "We'll continue, when the weather allows, in your present running order." "And that means, that when we do resume this race it will be a six lap shootout." "[P.A.]:" "Now, that last accident pushed our leaders well down into the pack, although Rodney Wells has come back into fourth spot." " We're losing tire pressure in the right rear." " You couldn't beat me straight up, could you, Wells?" " Come on." "Give him a shot!" "[Bink]:" "Yeah, Watts, smack him." "Hit him in the face." " Break it up." "Come on." " Hey, you should be disqualified!" " Me?" "You rammed me on purpose." " Okay, I'll take care of it." " Settle down." "You trying to get thrown out of the race?" " I had him and he jobbed me out of it." " So?" "You gonna let it beat you?" " Watts, Mr. Davies." "Should the engine be smoking?" " I'll inform the starteryou're withdrawing from the race." " Yeah." "Sorry, son, you did well." " Dad..." " You ran a good race, Watts." " Why is it that anything that's good always goes away?" " Could you give us a second please?" "Sometimes bad things just happen, Watts." "Sometimes there is no why." "Can I tell you something?" "When your mother died..." "That was the hardest thing I ever had to go through." "These last fouryears, it's been hard feeling anything, except sorry for myself." "And..." "Well, I know that I haven't always..." "been there foryou, in ways that, maybe, I could have." "But you showed me something today, son." "The way you drove." "From here on out... it's you and me... 100%." " Prove it, Dad." "The comet?" " Ha..." "Watts, that thing's never even raced." "Only turned a couple laps." "Don't know if it will run." " It'll run." "You and mom built it, it'll run." "Please?" " Uh, excuse me, guys?" "I heard your engine got cooked." "I have a spare engine on my truck." "It's yours, if you want it." "I want to beat the best on the track, not back here." " Well, we appreciate that, but we're going to be okay." "[P.A.]:" "All drivers need to move into your last position forthe green flag and prepare for a running start." "Due to the short six lap format of this race, there will be no stoppage until the checkered flag." "Green flag in one minute." " What's the story, Dad?" " We'll get there." "Here, get your helmet on." "[Engine revving.]" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Ha..." "Yeah, if she burps, you're going to have to adjust the carb through the chicane." " Any last minute advice?" " Yeah..." "Go fast." "[P.A.]:" "Here they come through the green flag to decide who goes to Daytona..." "Now, Watts Davies has had to change engine due to that earlier collision, and now trails the pack." " Okay, she hasn't run in fouryears, buddy, so let her breathe." " Don't worry, Dad, I got it." "[P.A.]:" "And here they go!" "[Cheering]" " Go, Watts!" "Yeah!" " Get'em, Watts!" " Ha, ha, ha..." "You feel that, huh?" "That's a kick in the butt." "[P.A.]:" "Rodney Wells trying to forge ahead of the pack, while Scott McKenna begins his battle back from ninth position." "[Vic]:" "Clean it out, Watts." "Clean it out on the back stretch." " I hearyou, Dad." " Track's heating up." "Watch yourtire temperature." "[P.A.]:" "Rodney Wells takes the lead." " Go, Rodney!" " Yeah!" " After one lap, our leader's number 34, Rodney Wells." "Five laps left." "Oh, and another crash..." "This one in turn numbertwo." " Good move, Watts!" "Good move!" " I'm on my line." " McKenna and Davies are each making a big run on the field, but Watts has a long way to go." "[Laughing]" " Go, Watts!" " Looking good." "[P.A.]:" "Four laps to go." " I got McKenna in my sights now." "[P.A.]:" "Only three laps left." "The leaders are setting an incredible pace." "The lap times are going down and the speed is coming up." " Good move, Watts!" "Good move!" "[P.A.]:" "Oh, my, we've got a new leader." "[Cheering]" " Go, Watts!" "Yeah!" "[P.A.]:" "Scott McKenna grabs back the lead, but Watts Davies and Rodney Wells are right there on his tail." "Two laps to go." "What a finish." " Okay, Light Bulb, here we go." " It's like you said, Rodney..." ""The rule is..."" " Ahh!" "[Rodney]:" "Whoa...!" " "...there ain't no rules."" "[Oohing and ahhing]" "[P.A.]:" "Oh, and Rodney Wells goes hard into the hay bales." "[Rodney]:" "Ohh!" "Ahh!" "[P.A.]:" "He looks okay." " Get off me!" " This is the greatest day of my life." " Yeah, Rodney!" "[P.A.]:" "Talk about getting tossed." "[P.A.]:" "Coming down forthe last lap." "Who's going to Daytona?" "We'll know in exactly 40 seconds." " Come on." " Come on." "Come on, Watts!" "Come on, Watts!" "[P.A.]:" "They come off the corner." "They're wheel to wheel." "They head forthe checkered flag." " Yeah!" "Ha, ha... [cheering]" " Yeah!" "[Cheering]" " Yeah!" "Whoo!" " Ha, ha...!" "Ahh!" " Damn!" " Where'd you learn how to drive like that?" " My dad taught me." "The best of the best." "There I was Almost giving up" "Then I saw beautiful" "Opened up my eyes" "And I found beautiful" "It opened up my life" "Now I know beautiful [cheering]" " Whooo!" " You did it, buddy!" " Yeah!" "We did it, Dad!" " You are the best!" "You're so beautiful" "DVD subtitling by CNST, Montreal"
