Driven Page #3

-What did you give him?

-Gas money.

There are a hundred guys more

qualified to back Jimmy. Why him?

Because when he's on, he's

one of the best you'll ever see.

Just sit back and watch.

What's he doing?

He's just wound up.

Doing his coin bit will relax him.

-What's his coin bit?

-He'll hold a slide...

...going full out, then go over

to pick up three coins.

Not with the front tire,

any fool can do that.

He'll snatch them up with

the back one and not lose speed.

-There's no way.

-You don't want to bet me.

There's number one.

There's number two.

What's that sound?

-lt sounds like humming.

-Yep.

Why is he humming?

Some crazy thing he does

when he's pushing close to the edge.

-Anyone else ever do that?

-Not among the living.

-Want to back off, Joe?

-Let him go.

Let's see if he's still got it.

You passed the audition, and l'm not

mopping up the mess, Hummer.

Not bad, Hummer.

-Your humming's getting better.

-Let me drive again?

l said your humming,

not your driving.

Go talk to the kid.

How you doing? l'm Joe.

-Nice run out there.

-lt was okay.

Hey, listen, l liked Memo.

He's a good guy, good driver.

Just so you know.

We didn't have any problems.

Two out of three, huh?

Why don't you and me grab a cup

of coffee and talk some strategy?

The strategy's simple: He drives,

you block. You block, he wins.

We gotta hit it.

We got a publicity blitz.

Can't we push that back?

Come on, it's part of the contract.

Talk to you later.

Just channel through me, okay?

l channel well.

Appreciate that.

Car coming down.

Last week's big news was Jimmy Bly's

close brush with the wall.

Bly was trailing Beau Brandenburg

on turn four of the last lap...

... when he lost control

at over 200 miles an hour.

I don't know what's going on

with Bly's driving.

It went so well earlier in the season,

surprising everyone.

He can't seem to

get it together on the track.

All eyes will be on Bly

at tomorrow's Toronto Grand Prix....

So, Luc, what have you learned

since you've been here?

-l used to think you just put gas in--

-Fuel.

-Get it right.

-Fuel. l knew that.

Put the fuel in and push the pedal...

...and that was it.

That is embarrassing,

that's what that is.

Joe, with only 10 races

left in the season...

...why'd they get you?

What makes you special?

Oh, special l'm not.

Do you feel awkward being back?

-Something you're not telling me?

-Well, rumor has it you...

...were the circuit's wild man.

You married a woman named Cathy.

You cleaned up, stopped

living the old lifestyle...

...things didn't work out.

-lnteresting, if it weren't me.

-lt's just what l heard.

-l don't want to upset you.

-Game's over.
