And from here, race fans,

he looks all right.

What a great race!

You'll never see any better than this.

Here's the first three positions

as they came across the line:

Grayson, the winner, in Car Number 6.

Second to Paul Dado in the 43 car.

Finishing in third spot, Car Number 3.

-You had me scared.

-What happened? You all right?

l'm still taking an inventory.

l think everything's still here.

You had as much right winning

as the man in the moon.

You were way over your head,

chunking tires all over the place.

You should've been black-flagged off.

Don't tell the officials till l get my check.

They might disqualify me.

Now, in the winner's circle...

waiting for Steve Grayson,

Miss Charlotte 100...

Mary Ann Ashman...

along with Hunter McCabe,

making the presentation.

lt's my pleasure to welcome the winner

of the Charlotte 100, Mr. Steve Grayson.

This is Mary Ann Ashman...

our beautiful

Miss Charlotte Speedway 100.

-How do you do?

-Mr. Grayson.

Mary Ann will present you

with the winner's trophy.

Thank you.

l hope you don't mind kissing each other,

just for the newspapers.

Not at all, if it's all right with you.

Well, if it's for the newspapers.

Just in case the newspapers

didn't get a good picture.

Come in.

Hello?

Oh, brother!

ls anybody home?

-Hello?

-This is Susan. He won again.

$7,700, including lap money.

My, how interesting!

-lt's certainly all adding up, isn't it?

-Yes. First place again.

-He's a real hot dog.

-''Hot dog''? What does that mean?

Just a little race talk l picked up.

You're not there to pick up

whatever it is you're picking up.

Yes, sir.

Give me the number where you are,

in case l need to call.

l can't do that.

l'm calling from their trailer.

Their trailer? What if they find you there?

l think they'd love it.

Stevie, l've got an idea.

-ls it good or bad?

-l'll call you again tomorrow.

Really, what you ought to do

is lie down and get yourself a good rest.

l do feel a little beat.

On second thought...

you really ought to stay outside.

Get yourself a lot of fresh air.

That's just what l need, a lot of fresh air.

-Hello!

-Hello.

-Goodbye.

-Wait, l saw her first.

-Bye-bye.

-Why can't l stay? l'm over 21 .

Sometimes l doubt it.

-Where did you come from?

-l rang the bell.

A voice said, ''Come in,'' so here l am.

-That was quite a race you won today.

-Thank you.

You've been in the money now 20 races.

More or less. A pretty girl like you

didn't come here just to talk about racing.

He didn't.

-Oh, no.

-Surprised?

Wait a minute. l know what you think.

But l didn't suggest it. lt was his own idea.

-Of course.

-You've got to believe me.

Obviously, l do.
