Driven Page #6

Synopsis: Talented rookie race-car driver Jimmy Bly has started losing his focus and begins to slip in the race rankings. It's no wonder, with the immense pressure being shoveled on him by his overly ambitious promoter brother as well as Bly's romance with his arch rival's girlfriend Sophia. With much riding on Bly, car owner Carl Henry brings former racing star Joe Tanto on board to help Bly. To drive Bly back to the top of the rankings, Tanto must first deal with the emotional scars left over from a tragic racing accident which nearly took his life.

There goes Brandenburg.

Bly, and Tanto is out.

All three with very fast pit stops,

just over 12 seconds.

As Andretti and Tracy almost

get together on the exit!

But now Brandenburg's in front,

Jimmy Bly in second.

l want you to go after Brandenburg.

Go right now. Go!

We have some really interesting

driving by Bly behind Brandenburg.

-l can't find a hole.

-Don't look for a hole. Make a hole.

Back to full speed,

Bly in pursuit of Brandenburg.

He's right there.

He tries him at every corner.

Jimmy, you got 10 laps to go.

Conserve the tires.

You talk into that again,

l'll make you eat it.

Don't conserve anything. Go get him.

If he's gonna overtake Brandenburg,

it'll happen in Turn 3.

And it's right--

Oh, look at that!

What a way to move!

Jimmy Bly grabs the lead away

from Brandenburg. It's magical.

And Jimmy Bly has just taken the lead!

-Joe.

-Yeah?

l want you to pit now.

Why? l don't need to pit, Carl.

l want you to pit.

In a very unusual move, Carl Henry

has just called Tanto into the pits.

He hit the marks.

l know what you're doing, Carl.

lt's wrong.

They're changing the tires, refueling.

I see no movement on the chassis,

no wing adjustments.

l'm not asking you to like this, Joe.

Just work with me.

In the meantime, the veteran

Brandenburg behind Bly.

That's gotta worry the young rookie.

One mistake, that's all it'll take.

-Hold. Hold, Joseph, hold.

-Come on, come on, damn!

Come on, Carl, let me out of here!

Bly in front, Brandenburg second.

Carl, l can't hold him off.

Now, Joe. Go get that son of a b*tch.

They release Tanto,

and he roars out of the pit!

I don't know what

Carl Henry and his team were thinking.

Tanto's making a very fast exit

from the pit. Look at this!

Tanto slices in between

Bly and Brandenburg!

The officials aren't gonna

like that one.

Tanto has to allow Brandenburg

to pass him after a move like that.

One lap to go now.

It's Bly and Brandenburg battling

it out in the last half-mile.

Brandenburg tries to the inside!

They come off the turn neck and neck.

Who's it gonna be?

And here they come!

The checkered flag is out!

It's Jimmy Bly,

the winner of this race!

As they go around the track,

the checkered flag is flown, and....

Very good strategy, Carl. Thank you.

What a battle between

Jimmy Bly, Beau Brandenburg.

This time, the young rookie

took it to the veteran.

You did all right today, Joseph.

Don't ask me to do that again.

Jimmy, after four lackluster

performances, is Jimmy Bly back?

Well, l hope so.

Everyone falls down.

lt's just how fast you get up, right?

Beau, the win could be

called controversial.

-Well, a win is a win.
