Days of Thunder Page #4

---

You were acting like such

a candy-ass when the air gun stuck.

Try this on for size.

We've got ourselves a sponsor.

Promise me that whatever else we do

from here, we win Daytona.

That's a promise.

Selling useless mining stock

is called a dog and pony show.

It may be funny, but it's not that

funny when it happens to you.

- It happened to me.

- You bought worthless stock?.

l told you l lost my ride.

That's how l lost it.

Team owner was a conman

selling junk bonds.

But mainly he sold stolen yachts.

After l won, he used my name

to promote the sales.

He went to jail

and l lost my ride.

- It was pretty humiliating.

- Hell, don't be embarrassed.

Some lowlife piece of trash

put you in a bad position.

That depends on whether you're

related to that piece of trash.

He was my father.

I've never really

stuck with anything since.

They don't trust me,

and l don't trust them.

Like for instance ...

You lied to me today. It was

dumb-luck l didn't end up crashed.

- l ought to punch you out.

- Yeah? Give it a try.

No.

l wouldn't want my ass kicked

by a 60-year-old man.

Drivers just don't go

to the outside like that.

l knew you could do it.

l believed it in my heart.

- Peach or cherry?.

- Cherry.

l need a leak.

There's calculating drivers,

and then there's kamikaze drivers.

Cole here's a kamikaze,

like my pappy was. Buddy Bretherton.

Buddy Bretherton was your dad?

- He died at Daytona.

- Last year.

- How did it happen?

- He hit the wall.

He was probably dead before that.

The coroner reported a heart attack.

We've been pulled over.

Everybody out and up against

the wall. You're under arrest.

- What the hell for?.

- That.

Transportation of alcohol

for the purpose of distribution.

This is not distribution,

this is consumption.

That doesn't make it legal.

Up against the wall.

It looks like we've found something.

A concealed weapon.

- Where?

- Right here.

Now, the only question is:

Will he actually use it?

Don't be mad. Harry and the boys

thought you might like me.

Here we are for summer speed week

in Daytona Beach, Florida.

The favorite today is newcomer

Cole Trickle in number 46.

He has won an unprecedented

five out of his last six races.

Stop playing peek-a-boo

in Rowdy's rear-view mirror.

- I'm not doing anything like that.

- Then what are you doing?

l loosened his bumper.

I'll have to break it off.

lf his bumper goes through

your radiator, you're finished.

Rowdy, let him go by.

I'm going to take him

on the high side.

- What are you worried about, Harry?.

- Great recovery, Cole.

Trickle's right behind the number 51

car, and they'll go at it again.

There's a crash

coming out of turn four.
