Give me an honest run.

lf you do, I'll beat you.

Now we're going to do it

When you were racing Indy cars,

the tires were twice as wide -

- and the car weighed half as much.

Now it's the opposite.

You're burning them up.

They melt and get greasy.

You slip and slide

and you're out of control. Let's go!

His way, my way.

l was six seconds faster.

You can buy me some lunch

at the highway joint.

- What's wrong?

- We're figuring out what to do.

- About what?

- We're in trouble.

Rowdy took the pole in 30:25.

We're almost a second off the pace.

We're looking for some speed.

The car's perfect, Harry.

it's the first race of the season at

Darlington International Speedway.

You're running 12th.

- You're going to burn the tires.

- Everybody else slowed down.

He's right. Check his lap times.

Everybody else has fallen off.

You're doing good, Cole.

You're gaining on the leader.

Don't pass

on the outside of turn four.

Stay to the inside.

Ten laps to go.

Trickle is right behind Rowdy Burns.

- I'm right behind the leader.

- Five laps to go.

- Remember me?

- What the hell's going on?

Just a little rubbing.

Rubbing's racing.

I'm going to take this rookie

once and for all.

That's enough!

You can't play with Rowdy like this.

Relax, Harry.

Rowdy Burns is out!

No! An incredible recovery by Rowdy.

We have a new leader.

Cole Trickle in number 46.

We're under caution

with three laps to go.

- Come on in.

- What for?. it's almost over.

You've done 68 laps.

Everybody's got to pit, Cole.

Go, go!

The air gun's jammed,

get me another one.

Let's go!

Damn it! Go! Go!

Get them on quick!

- Son of a b*tch!

- Now, Cole ...

- Son of a b*tch!

- We're on the air, all right?

l was in first place. Now I'm

in third with two laps to go.

Don't get excited.

Third place is pretty respectable.

Going into turn four,

drive right by him on the outside.

Nobody goes to the outside

on turn four.

- You can hold it.

- He's going to end up in the wall.

The pace car is about to go off.

We don't have time to talk.

- We've got a good set of tires on.

- What?

- Those tires are matched perfect.

- You're going to get him killed.

lf you go to the outside,

you can hold it.

All right.

The white flag is out.

One lap to go.

The boy don't have the balls

to pass me on the outside.

They're heading into

treacherous turn four.

Cole Trickle wins his first ever

NASCAR victory.

Second place goes to Rowdy Burns.

On that last turn, did you know you

could make the car stick like that?

l knew it all along.

Harry put on special tires.

- What's special about them?

- Nothing in particular.

- You told me ...

- l had to calm you down.
