Farid Morocco

Carol, Jer, Steph, come on, let's go!

Where's your brother?

It's not my day to keep him. - Young lady?

Sorry. He's upstairs shaving the three whiskers off his face.

Jer, let's go, man!

Put that in the sink and come to the living room.

Let's go. Jer!

Good morning.

Oh, why don't you wear your gray suit for the interview?

Really?

Yeah.

Can we do the picture first?

Are you sure you wanna do this right now?

Yes, I wanna do it right now.

And, we're gonna celebrate tonight, okay?

- What did you make it out of?

Leftover drywall from the garage.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Jer, let's go, come on! - Ow.

- Sorry. - I'm coming. Coming.

Mom, does this look all right?

- Oh, you look so handsome, baby. Aww. - It's so big.

- Carol. Carol - Yeah?

Doesn't this thing have a timer on it?

Oh, I don't-- Yeah, ask Stephanie. I don't know about that.

Here Dad, you do this.

Okay, all right, cool.

- Why are we doing this right now?

- Okay All right.

We wanted to have just a, you know,

little ceremony of our own.

We have a little somethin' for ya.

- Really? - Yeah.

Okay, close your eyes.

Close 'em. Close 'em.

- Keep 'em closed. - [Tom] Keep 'em closed!

- Okay. - All right.

And...

Open your eyes!

What?!

Awesome.

- Wait, you're doing one of these for me too right?

- Wow, I don't know what to say.

- You just say the name of the university you want

and I will put it right there in that blank!

Whaddya' think? Any school.

Say the school.

Any school.

- Well, I wanna go to community college,

and take the mechanics program.

J-Jer, are you- You're...

We want you to start life on the best possible footing.

You need a four year degree, son.

Okay?

- Okay. All right.

Honey, what time is it?

I'm gonna be late. Here.

Hit the timer. Go hit the timer. - Okay.

I gotta change my suit.

Oh, Dad, you're coming to my race today, right?

Yeah, I think I'll be able to figure that out.

Happy family.

Oh, I gotta get my hat!

- Oh, honey! Let me see. - Nose bleed.

- Oh, that's gonna hurt. - Oh, oh, honey! Let me see. Let me see.

Get a tissue.

Uh, Mr. Jenkins.

- Whoa. Hey.. - Hey.

I've heard some good things about you, Trent.

Uh, Tom. It's Tom.

- Tom. - Yeah.

Uh, somebody pop you in the nose, there, Tom?

Oh, god, okay.

Oh! I just bumped my-

Yeah, Im just gonna carry on, if you don't mind.

You see, we are doing a little strategic realignment

here in the Southeast which is exactly why I

- As the new Southeastern Regional Manager, I will do...

- We got a little hiccup, and we should talk about it.

Did you know you have to have a four year degree

before you can manage here at the corporate level?

- Oh... - [laughs] I mean I had no idea.

I found that out just the other day,

and you don't have one.

Anyway, you're a great worker,

so I'm gonna send ya to Alabama run our new store down there.

And before you say yes

I'm gonna kick in an extra 150 bucks a month.

Pound it. - Um.

Okay... - Okay! Which is awesome,

because that means I can make my tee time.

And you are gonna go home and tell the little lady

about the good news.

Oh, that made me queasy. The little lady thing.

Oh, God, I used to have a wife.

Gots me a Porsche now.

Ah. Could you do me a favor

and haul my clubs down to my car before you leave?

Thank you, buddy.

Brenda, hold all my calls!

Jeremy. Hey, sugar. Good luck, honey.

- What? - Where's Dad?

Um, he had to stay late.

It's okay. Have fun.

I'm gonna crush you, Mama's boy.

- Yeah fat chance of that.

- All right, you've done a good job in the shop this semester.

I had a hard time getting approval for this.

Don't turn it into a race. Just get out there and finish.

You're first up.

Glad to be rid of you knuckleheads.

Nice helmet. Loser.

Try to keep up.

On your mark. Get set!

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go, go!

- What do I do? Just brake right now? - Just brake!

Ah!

Come on, Jeremy! Go, baby!

Look out!

Move! Move! Go on, get out of the way!

I've gotta work on my résumé.

The new engine I built worked great.

Guess who pulls in front right at the last minute.

- Who? - This guy, right here.

Honey?

You okay? Ah-ah-ah.

I am great.

Why didn't you go to the race?

You knew about it for, like, two weeks.

Okay.

All right.

You want the bad news,

the bad news, or the good news first?

Um, good news?

Okay, we're at least $80,000 richer.

That's great! Can I get a car?

Oh, my gosh.

Okay, the bad news?

Q-Mark is moving us to Alabama, end of next week!

What?

I'm not leaving a week before graduation.

Well, Jeremy, you let this be lesson to you.

I didn't get the job because I don't have a four year degree.

So, I don't have a choice.

We don't have a choice.

We should be talking about this without the kids-

Wait. Didn't you say there were two pieces of bad news?

It's actually part of the good news.

My dad died.

I thought he was dead already.

What?

Sweetie, I'm so sorry.

It's the only decent thing the man ever did.

But, at least we can sell the property and be done with it.

What property?

It's over there.

That is just like him.

Just like him.

He dies and I get a letter in the mail

with a picture of a service station.

Dad, that's awesome! We can, like, work on a car together.

As nice at that sounds, Jeremy,

that's the least of my worries right now.

Jeremy, um...

- Come on, Stephy. - It was just getting good.

Honey.

I don't know what to say.

I know this sounds crazy,

but... we always wanted to have our own business.

Seriously, Carol?

Don't even start that right now.

We could sell this house right now for $110,000

in the low point of this market, quick sale.

We only owe $30,000.

We can match this Conrad fella for his 80.

We would have our own new house,

a service station,

free and clear.

We've turned into four people

in the same house looking out different windows.

I don't know why, but I just-

I can feel that this is really right.

And you and I can reconnect.

I'll do the books.

It'll be our family business.

Look, the bottom line is I just don't trust him.

He's gonna lure us in just enough to sucker punch us.

Sweetie...

Oh, I love you.

Will you just think about it?

Okay, I'm gonna leave you alone.

Just think about it.

“I'm sorry, Tom, you have to have a four-year degree.”

Management Training, doesn't mean anything.

Manager of the Year, even less.

Employee of the month, nothing.

“Company perks!”

She's right.

Screw this.

Mr. Jenkins.

Mr. Jenkins! - Oh! Oh, whoa. Yes, yes?

I have been with this company for 20 years.

I have jumped through every hoop that this company

has wanted me to jump through.

I am the best manager that you have.

I want the Southeastern Regional Manager position.

I'm not moving my family.

Trevor, what are you talking about?

It's all been put into motion.

My name is Tom.

Look, what difference does it make?

The decision's been made.

Okay. Well, then, I quit.

Okay.

I am serious about that.

Me, too.

The good news is, we don't have to pay your pension.

Oh, and would you drop off your badge with Judy on your way out, please?

Brenda, could you get me Alex over at store 324?

Is that right? 324.

You're a sweetheart.

Anything else?

Oh, Jeremy,

you have a whole drawer full of clothes here.

Jeremy!

You didn't mail in your college applications?

- Look, Mom, I- - Are these boxes ready?

Uh, yeah, you can take those two.

All right. All right. Lift with your legs, not with your back.

What're you all doing?

I'm just helping him finish packing.

Okay, well come on. We gotta go.

Let's go! Come on.

Thanks, Mom.

Do you have any idea how crushed he's going to be

when he finds this?

You are so lucky we are moving today.

Finish packing.

Oh, look at that. That's that Bainesville guy

who offered you the buyout.

He's got his own billboard?

Wow.

She's got a good foundation.

She'll clean up all right.

Uh huh.

All right, people, let's adjust our attitudes.

It's just a little dirt.

I guess we just need to start chucking stuff, I guess.

Yeah, definitely all--

Not that! I love that.

- Really? - Yeah, your daddy has good taste.

That's a antique.

Okay, whatever.

Dad!

Dad!

- Wow. - Right?

That is a piece of junk now.

I'm gonna have to get a tow truck.

Wait now, Dad, come on, let me have it.

Let me have it, please!

Please?

Okay. All right,

all right, if... - Okay

- ...you can get that running - Well, I'll get it running.

That's no problem.

Then it's yours.

What? Yes! Thank you so much!

Oh!

Hey-hey, hey-hey.

Time to send those in, or tell your dad. Your choice.

Man up, son.

Woo. I am dog-tired.

Feels good though, right?

Ha!

This place is disgusting.

God, I just-I wanted to give you so much more by now.

I mean you're right, look at this place. It's a dump.

What?

Tom Williamson, I love you.

I'm so glad we get to start over.

And your daddy gave us that.

Why you always gotta be so positive? Huh?

- No, you didn't. - Yes, I did.

No...

I wish I had your faith.

All the faith you need is just the size of a seed.

Wow. I love it.

Me, too.

I think I just threw up a little bit.

Oh. That's gross.

- Just needs a little elbow grease.

- Yeah, we could pick up al that stuff.

And a feather duster, maybe.

Who's this?

Oh, I think that's J.P.

- J.P.? - Yeah, he's supposed to meet us here.

That's the guy?

- J. P. Clark. - Hey, J.P., I'm Tom.

Nice to meet you.

Uh, who is that?

That's Hank. Sweetheart of a guy.

He kinda comes with the place.

- Okay.

Well, what d'ya think?

- Excited. - It's great. Yeah.

Mr. Baines will go up to 95,000, if you wanna reconsider.

- Well, maybe. - No. No, we want we want it.

- All right. - We want it.

Well, thank you.

- Appreciate it. - Welcome to Bainesville.

Hey. Hey, there, Hank.

J.P. told us your name. I'm Tom.

Is he okay?

I think so.

His chest is going up and down.

Whoa, hey!

Thought we lost ya there for a second, buddy.

I'm Tom.

You just hangin' out?

I'm Carol.

I'm-I'm Carol!

[Tom, shouting] We're the new owners!

I'm not deaf!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Well, everything's unlocked.

Mom, you gotta check this out.

That's great to know.

Wow.

God.

We have got our work cut out for us.

Jeremy. What're you doing?

Dad, this is you?

You used to race?

Wow. Look at that.

Yeah.

It's a matter of opinion, though.

Clem always said I was no good, but--

You were young.

I won all those.

Wow.

This is awesome.

Golly.

I am... I'm surprised he kept all this crap.

So, why didn't you and your dad talk?

Dad?

Let's just say he made a very conscious choice

to leave all that behind and so did I.

So, what're we gonna call this place?

We gotta get it cleaned up first.

So let's...Head out front and I'll be out there in a minute

All right.

Figure out the game plan.

Ew.

Uck.

Sorry, Hank.

Sorry.

Whoa! Whoa!

Oh, oh no, no, no, no, no!

Dad!

Dad!

- Go, go, get the tires! - Dad!

Oh, god!

Dad!

- Wait-wait, wait-wait! - Oh, god.

Come on.

All right. Woo.

- Well, that looks good and cold.

- Coldest in the county.

- Where'd you get it?

- From your machine.

- We have a drink machine?

- Where?

- Around the corner.

- Oh, thanks.

- Bees.

Careful, son.

- Don't you worry your pretty 'lil head there, Hank.

I'll bees all right.

Well, look at that.

Wow. That is a good deal.

Bees!

Aah!

Thanks, Hank.

We're not gonna let a little bees and a little rain get us down.

We're doing this. - I think there's some over here, too.

Let me see. - Yeah.

Oh, look at that. Our first customer.

What?

- Here. - Well, set it down.

You nut.

I am just gonna go handle a little business.

As you can see, you're gonna have plenty of room for parking.

Real nice.

Ever hear of Chick Chickabee, the North Carolina Whistler?

He was born in that house right over there.

I thought you said this station was non-operational.

Oh, it wasn't. Well, I'll take care of this.

- Jenkins? - Ted?

- Tom. - Tom.

- You guys know each other? - Not really.

You could say that.

That was kind of a waste of money, don't you think?

- Excuse me? - Oh, what you're doing here.

We're just gonna tear it down anyway.

What're you trying to do, extort me for more money?

Come on.

Okay, Mr. Jenkins, do you care to explain what's going on, please.

This is a primary site for a brand new Q-Mark.

- Uh, no. - Excuse me?

Okay, we turned down your piddly little offer.

This is my station, free and clear

and I have no intentions of selling it.

- Okay, just settle down, Turbo. - Okay, my name is Tom!

I am not putting a Q-Mark on this land.

Think you might just take this conversation elsewhere, son.

What're you doing here?

Cold Cheerwine.

Okay, look, this conversation's over.

All right, please leave.

Let's go, Conrad.

You told me you had this sorted out.

I'll take care of this.

We'll be back later.

- I'm really starting to like this whole be-your-own-boss thing.

That was awesome.

Mwah, mwah, mwah. I love you, honey.

Tonight, we celebrate.

Yeah, that's a small town, for ya.

Looks like the only place open.

Dad, this is great.

- Howdy. - Hey.

These old pictures.

What's it say? Roy “Fig Newton”,

“Monkey-Wrench” Tucker,

“Red Dirt” Randy,

“Lug Nut” Williamson.

Oh, look. Look. That's Clem, right?

God, look at that. It sure is.

Looks like he was a pretty decent driver.

Ol' Lug Nut was one of the best drivers ever around these parts.

And that, that's that Baines jerk, right?

Yeah, we used to think ol' Gold-Digger there

paid people off to let him win,

but we never could prove it, though.

Anyway, I'm Dirty Harry Hawkins. People call me D.H.

Hey D.H., I'm Tom.

Are you Clem's boy?

Yeah, Clem would be my father, yeah.

Well I'll be ding-danged and dipped in snuff.

He found you!

Oh, wait a minute. You must be the ones fixing up Lug Nutz shop.

Yeah, we're here to celebrate the grand opening.

Well let's celebrate.

Follow me, I'll get ya a good table.

Come on.

At least his name carries a little weight around here.

Yeah.

You wanted to see me, Mr. Baines?

Yeah. Did you make my offer?

Yes sir, I asked them.

They didn't want to take it.

You asked them?

Did you ask them politely? Did you ask them gingerly?

Did ya put a frickin' cherry on the top?

You don't ask 'em, you tell 'em!

I'm trying to do economic development around here!

Isn't that what you want?

Huh? - Yes sir, I do.

Then start acting like it.

I shouldn't have to be doing everything.

What about the Betty Tucker Estate?

Mrs. Tucker didn't have a will.

All her assets will be dealt with at auction.

Now, look on the bright side.

You'll probably be the only one there anyway.

Get outta here.

I met Clem at a race.

I was kinda in the midst of reinventing myself.

I'd just graduated with a Masters Degree

in Mechanical Engineering.

What, I don't look the type?

I had a lot of book smarts, but it was your daddy...

...who taught me the practical application of everything...

...stuff I never would've learned in a class.

- Like what? - Cars...

...everything about 'em, from the ground up.

He knew how to drive 'em, build 'em,

he knew everything about cars and racing.

Yeah.

That's interesting.

How long ago was that?

Oh, it was a little over 20 years ago,

right around the same time you two were married.

What, he talked about that?

Oh, yeah. He was real happy about it.

Now that's funny,

because he gave me a lug nut for a wedding gift.

Keep the wheels on your love...

...like the man knew anything about that.

Um, what's a lug nut?

Well, without lug nuts the tires fall off.

A lug nut's a small thing,

but it holds the whole thing together.

Can't do anything without 'em.

Must've meant something to ya,

kept it on a key chain for 20 years.

Ol' Clem, he leased that shop from Conrad's daddy.

Clem and Conrad, they never did get along very well.

So when Conrad's daddy retired...

...Conrad took over his affairs,

and he come after the shop first thing.

Now, Clem bet him a race on it.

They raced for it?

It was 50 laps, winner takes all.

And they went at it hammer and tong,

nose to nose, for 49 laps.

Come down to that last straightaway, bang,

your grandpa won that station, bang.

What? That's awesome.

You know, Conrad still wants that shop.

He offered us 95,000 for it.

95,000? That's an insult.

The land alone's worth that.

He wants to put a Quality-Mark there.

Q-Mark here.

We had one of those here, that'd pretty much finish off

all the little guys in this town

and a lot of people are barely hanging on as it is.

Hey, you know what? We need some mechanics.

Can you refer us to anybody?

I tell you what I'll do.

Tomorrow I'll send you Charlie and Derwin.

They both been downsized by one of Conrad's development deals,

and they happen to be two of the best mechanics in the county.

Well, that would be fantastic 'cause we need the help.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

It's a pleasure.

I like this one with the light. - Oh, thanks.

What is this?

I was trying to encourage Stephy's creativity.

Look at her framing.

It's a doorknob.

Honey, look, can we encourage our bank account?

It gets expensive.

- Dad! - What?

What?

Somebody had too much coffee.

Well, I'm just saying- they're great, honey.

Just keep 'em on the computer.

It's not the same as prints.

You're lucky the Cheerwine guy's here, buddy.

The Cheer-- Bees! Wait-wait! Don't touch--

Tricky little boogers, aren't they?

You make normal deliveries here?

Yeah. Why do you think I got this hood on?

Um...

Oh, here you go.

Gotta run, on a schedule.

Hey, can we get another machine?

- You can't move that one. - Well, why not?

It's full of bees.

Jeremy, the big tires go on the bottom.

- Dad. - You gotta make the pyramid.

Oh, hey, can I help you?

Yeah, I'm Charlie. D.H. sent me.

- Oh, okay. - Uh, I'm Jeremy.

Well, wait. You're the mechanic?

Yeah.

That's cool.

Yo, yo, yo, yo!

Hey, what's up with it?

Yo, you gotta have red hair to work over here?

Hey, I heard y'all hiring a black dudes. That true?

That's Derwin.

Yeah, D.H. said he was a good mechanic.

Couldn't tell by his car.

That car was in a junkyard yesterday.

Engine hadn't been turned over since before I was born.

I mean, could you get that car working in one day?

Hey, yo-yo! Yo, Charlie, check this out!

Yeah.

I be waving, ho-ho-ho!

Yeah, Derwin!

That can't be right.

No.

No-no-no.

Okay, so, I mean, that was impressive.

That car was on blocks yesterday?

- Yeah. Okay.

Thank you, man.

What kind of engine is in it?

Just some parts I put together. A little this, a little that.

- You just made it up? - Yeah.

Wow, that's pretty impressive.

So, you, how old are you?

I'm 20.

What's up?

- Hey, man. - Hey.

Hey, I'm gonna need you to check out my freeze-on.

The what?

My freeze-on. Yeah.

Your air conditioner?

No, Gingerbread. What I'm saying is, my sea foam green Sprite.

You know what I'm sayin'? My frostbite kryptonite.

Oh yeah, your antifreeze.

- Yeah, that's it. Yeah. - All right, pop the hood.

Antifreeze!

Can you tell me some qualifications that you have, that--

I wouldn't touch it 'til it stops, man.

Yeah, yeah. You know, I grew up working in my Da-

Can you excuse me for a second?

- Okay. - Thanks.

Trying to figure out these hydraulics, man,

I'll pop it in a second. - Hey, Mac Daddy.

Yo, C-Train.

How I get this wheel to chill, man?

It's got my eyeballs banging around

like some dimes in a piggybank.

Turn the music down.

- What? - Turn the music down.

What in the G-Washington is going on?

What'd I tell you not to forget?

I forgot.

I wired in a sound sensor.

When you have it activated and the music's up,

the car bounces- --The car bounces on its own.

All right, now. You know. Yeah.

It's just, I'm getting used to everything,

you know, because there's a lot of bells and whistles in this circus.

She put the hydraulic system in there.

Yeah, she did.

All right, so all I gotta do is flip the switch right here.

That's it.

- Oh! - Whoa!

Oh no!

Turn it off! Turn it off!

Jeremy.

You look like you could use a beer.

Yeah.

I got eaten by a car.

It happens.

One birch beer coming up.

No, I'm fine.

Ice cold. Foamy.

That bad, huh?

I bet it's not so bad that you couldn't fix it

with a quick ride around the track.

Come on!

Wow, I didn't know this was back here.

Yeah, I keep this open during the summer

just for the next generation.

You feel better?

Yeah. That was great.

you got a lot of your granddaddy's blood in you, Jeremy.

I don't know if you'd ever be interested, but...

...if you are,I believe you could race.

I got a feeling you could go straight to crates.

Really?

Oh, yeah.

Think about it.

I'll think about it.

Hey, Hank, grab you one while it's open.

Don't reckon I will.

Oh, go 'head. It's just a quarter. Go 'head.

Don't make no difference whether it's 25 cents or a million.

Dishonest gain don't profit.

You know what, Hank? You're right.

I wouldn't want anybody doing that to me.

So, thank you.

I knew there was a reason I kept you around

besides that pretty smile of yours.

Mr. Williamson.

Oh. Hey, Mr. Clark. How you doing?

I missed you yesterday.

I need to speak with you and your wife.

It's sort of urgent.

Okay. Come on in to the office.

There was an oversight with your father's estate.

- Okay. Go on. - Local woman, Betty Tucker, just passed.

Turns out she didn't have a will

so I was assigned by the state to handle her affairs.

Something like this isn't gonna be on record,

but the truth is, these sort of things

are pretty common in small towns.

What sort of thing are you talking about?

Clem had a notarized, personal loan with Betty Tucker.

He used the station as collateral, so technically,

Miss Betty owns the garage.

And, since she didn't have a will...

...her estate's gotta be sold at public auction.

What?

Total amount with interest owed is $118,328.34.

That's, great. Hey, Dad, thank you so much

for the service station.

What did I tell you?

Just enough to sucker punch us.

I know. Just wait.

Let's just get all the information.

Debt has to be paid by the time it goes on the auction block.

You have 60 days.

How could you have not told us about this?

I don't understand.

Was this somewhere-- - I'm gonna let you all alone to talk about this.

Hey!

Just to show you what a nice guy I am...

...I'm gonna call Q-Mark on your behalves...

...see if I can get ya jobs in the stockroom, huh?

Tom, you started there, didn't ya?

Hey, I'll see ya at the auction.

No, I won't.[laughing]

I won't!

What'd I miss?

Right when I started thinking my dad might not be so screwed up.

Dad, what do you mean?

The station has to be sold at auction.

We have 60 days to come up with $120,000.

- What? - Why is that?

Because my dad spent my future, again.

Derwin, can we get back to...

Why are you being so selfish?

I'm being selfish?

Your daddy was dying of cancer.

Did you even know that?

My dad made it very clear to me

that I was not an important part of his life.

So excuse me if I didn't check in on a regular basis!

Your daddy was torn up over you, Tommy.

Now maybe you never knew that.

and he knew that he treated you wrong in a lot of ways.

Clem didn't know how to say sorry.

But right now,

you gotta find a way to get over all that.

You gotta forget about everything you don't have.

You gotta forget about what you missed out on.

You gotta see what you do have...

...right here, right now, son.

You wanna see a Q-Mark sitting on this spot?

Do ya? - No.

Then do something about it.

All right.

All right.

I'm gonna need everybody's help.

Just tell 'em.

Hey, guys.

What d'ya think, Mom?

Oh, that looks really nice, baby.

Good job.

I need you to get this running, and, set it to a dollar.

Okay? Awesome.

Hey, how old is this thing, man?

Oh!

Hey. I got ya. I got ya. Yeah.

Oh, you're kidding me! [loud truck horn]

What's up with this vacuum!

What can I do for you?

Fill 'er up. High test.

Oh, you bet!

The bottom line is that we're just short 85K.

Use my college money.

We'd still be 50 K in the deficit, sweetie.

No, we're not using your college money.

You wanna invest in my future, put it in the shop.

Dad, look.

This will make up the difference.

We're gonna win this place, just like granddad did.

Come on, we got a garage. We know how to do this.

All right, even if I thought this was a good idea, which I don't...

you would still need a car, not to mention a driver, to win a race.

Car's not a problem. I have a friend who's got an old chassis.

And I can call in some favors and get us a good motor.

Yeah, you got a driver right here.

Jeremy.

Dad, come- I could so do this.

He's amazing.

You just haven't seen him.

What're you doing?

It's completely different.

I think it's worth a shot.

Do you have a better idea?

Well, yeah, how 'bout we go to Vegas...

and roll it all on black.

Look, this is the U.S. Open of dirt track racing.

We're not gonna enter a race for the money.

Can we just hear what he's got to say?

What I'm saying is... the top ten earners,

they're in the big race automatically.

The rest of 'em gotta qualify to race.

And your boy, he can drive.

Yeah.

Has anyone from the open race ever won the money?

Yeah. Two that we know of.

Your dad and Conrad.

Get us the car.

- That's what I'm talking about. - You are not gonna regret this--

If anybody's gonna do this, it's gonna be me.

What?

Come on, I used to race.

I won trophies.

D.H. is just gonna have to give me a refresher.

You're so full of crap.

It is my responsibility.

It is my way or it's not at all.

What're you talking about? You're not even around!

All you do is work!

Okay, you've never once come to something I'm good at.

Not once!

Okay, I've had to work so much because...

I don't have a college degree, Jeremy!

Well then, why don't you go get one!

'Cause I didn't even send in the stupid application!

Tell him, Mom!

You knew about that?

Tom.

- Jeremy. - I don't wanna hear it, Mom.

Oh, excuse me.

Don't do this for your father, do this for yourself.

It's just like him.

Always thinking of himself.

All right, I'm not a little kid anymore.

I can do this.

I know that.

You've grown up so much.

But honor your father.

And like it or not, he is trying to look out for you.

He's not trying to look out for me.

Yes he is. He is trying to give you a better life than what he had.

He has zero prospects right now.

Do you understand that?

His life is crumbling around him.

And he's not just thinking of himself.

He's thinking of our family.

Jeremy, you threw me under the bus.

I'm gonna go talk to him.

That's what this is about, being too protective.

- That's what I'm saying. - Okay, don't. Just stop.

I don't wanna talk about it right now.

Tom, talk to me!

What do you wanna talk about?

How 'bout the fact that I was 19 when we got married and you were 22.

He's big enough to start making his own decisions.

Okay, don't turn this around on me.

It is entirely different.

My dad was a deadbeat.

I was on my own since I was 14.

I had to figure it out.

He's got a father.

I've been here.

Not really.

You've kinda been at Q-Mark.

Okay. Awesome.

So, I'm not only a failure as a provider...

I'm a failure as a father, too? That's awesome.

Thank you so much for the pep talk. I appreciate it!

Stop it!

I've watched this kid.

I know what he excels in.

He has a gift, and it runs deep.

Do not let your past dictate his future because...

you will stay disappointed for the rest of your life.

It is my responsibility to provide for this family.

It is too dangerous.

Give him a chance.

Hey.

- Hey.

Your mom said you were back here. What's wrong?

Nothin'.

I just thought having a family business would change things.

And when I saw it was a shop, I was so excited, you know?

Like, maybe he'll see me, see something I'm good at.

Of course I just, I screw it all up.

I actually meant the car.

Yeah, I've tried everything. It just- it won't start.

Ahh. Here it is.

What are the two things essential to a motor?

Fire and fuel.

That's right.

There's a mutual relationship between...

the carburetor and the engine.

This little bitty wire makes it all work.

This line of communication is busted, the whole thing doesn't work.

Turn it over.

Let's go for a spin.

- This is an old bootlegger's road my grandpa used to take me.

Kinda cool, isn't it? - Yeah.

So how do you know so much about cars?

I was a shop rat.

My mom left when I was three.

Dad started taking me to the shop after that.

And I was changing spark plugs by the time I was eight.

Eight?

- What? - Yeah.

Complete rebuilds by the time I was 10.

Yeah, that's all I've ever known.

It's the only thing I'm good at.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Man, I wish my dad was like that.

He just always wants me to be something I'm not.

I mean, I wanted to play with dolls...

but my dad needed me.

And I didn't want to- - Yeah, let him down.

Yeah, me neither.

He did the best he could with the cards he was dealt.

And I love him for it.

Whoa, slow down there, cowboy.

I just- I thought that we were like--

No.

Okay.

About a quarter mile ahead is a dog leg turn to the left.

I have taken it as fast as 65.

Let's see what you got.

Now come on.

That was pretty good, right?

I was doing good.

I'm getting the hang of it.

You're too timid with your driving.

You're gonna have 450 horses under your control.

Either you control the car, or the car will control you.

Jeremy, come here a minute.

Stand here and face your dad.

Now look at your son and tell him to eat your dust.

- Really? - Do it.

Eat my dust.

Well that was pitiful.

Look at your dad and tell him to kiss your grits.

- Who says that? - Do it.

Kiss my grits.

Oh, pitiful must run in this family.

Do it again.

Kiss my grits.

Eat my dust.

Kiss my grits.

Eat my dust.

Kiss my grits.

Eat my dust.

- Kiss my grits. - Eat my dust.

Kiss my grits.

- Eat my dust. - Kiss my grits.

- Eat my dust. - Whoa! Whoa!

We are racing now!

Bring it on down. Bring it on down.

Now that's the kind of focus you're gonna need, right there.

You weren't worried about your shop, or your debts... or anything except winning.

When you're in that car, you cannot be distracted.

You can't take your mind off what you're doing for a second.

If you see an opportunity and you hesitate, you lost already.

That's the focus, right there.

Great.

That's good enough for today.

You guys hungry?

Oh, just in time to help.

Can you handle that, dog?

You wanna find out?

- Yeah. Show me. - All right.

Jeremy, pass him.

He's leaving himself wide open.

Tom, don't let him pass you.

Tighten it up.

I'm trying. He's good.

Dang.

You bullied your way to the inside.

He didn't bully his way anywhere.

You left yourself wide open.

He took advantage of it.

That's racing.

You're racing one guy in a go-cart.

You ain't even touched the race car yet...

and you're gonna have to find your way to the front of 30 cars.

Racing is position.

Position's about fighting for your territory.

Once you get your hands on it, you don't give it up for nothin'.

All right, put your hats on, girls.

Let's try it one more time.

Here we go.

We're running a 350 small block with a four barrel carburetor...

bumps it up to 450 horses.

- Wow. - Boo-ya!

Wow! This is amazing.

How did you guys get this done so fast? This is--

No-no, this belongs to the track.

No, they give rides in this. We just borrowed this for today.

Yeah, that ain't you.

That's yours. Right there.

That's ugly.

It's still got the same size engine, so it'll handle.

It'll run like a scalded dog.

- I see you got it running. - Yeah.

Heads up.

What is that for?

You didn't think you was running out here by yourself, did ya?

Little competition will be good for ya, baby.

See what you got.

All right, fine, get it off the hitch.

Whoa, no-no.

You drivin' number 15.

You need to practice on the one you're racing in.

- Exactly.

All right, let's get the rust off.

Here we go, all right.

Take it easy, Tom. Feel it out.

Roger that.

Yeah, that thing your foot's on,

it's called a brake.

That's real funny, Jeremy.

Real funny.

Whoa. It feels loose.

I think it's the car.

It's not the car.

You've just got a little more power.

All right. Gotcha.

Stay with him, stay with him, stay with him.

All right, let's see what you really got.

No!

Need to tweak anything, now?

Yeah. The driver.

All right, come on fellas, bring it in. Bring it in.

I was running good.

It got away from me.

No, you weren't running good.

That last turn is the first time

you ever really punched it.

And punchin' it's where you gotta live for the entire race.

You get back out there and give me 20 more laps.

Jeremy, you're in front.

Tom, I want you to work on passing. Okay?

Make him work for it, Jeremy.

How's that dust taste, Dad?

- Jeremy, shut up and drive.

Bring it, Tom, bring it!

So are you ready to start racing yet?

Okay, now he's gettin' it.

Yeah! Yeah!

Your gas is on the right.

Come on. You gotta keep up. You gotta keep up!

So that's how you wanna play.

Come on, come on.

Nice!

- Now he's got it. - Yeah, he's got it now.

D.H., watch this!

Don't go high. Don't go high!

Oh, no.

Dad!

I'm so glad you're okay, baby.

Keep this on you, there, for 20 minutes.

Ow. Ow. Oh.

Ow.

Ow!

“Dear Tom, I've sent several letters, but they've all come back.”

“I'm having my lawyer look for you now.”

“Can't say as I blame you wanting to forget me.

“I've got a lot of regrets. Sure ain't sitting here wishing

“That's for darn sure. I just want to say, I'm sorry, son.”

“I did you and your mama wrong.

“I was selfish and I regret ever loosing you.

“Treasure your family, son. Trust me.”

“Sitting where I'm sitting, it's a cold place alone.

“I pray this letter finds you someday.

“I love you, son."

Oh, you're right, but I still don't know what we're gonna do.

I know.

I come in peace. I come in peace.

I was wondering, how is he?

What're you doing here?

While it was very noble of you to try and win the money...

you and I both know that there's no way...

you are gonna beat me this weekend.

So, if you sign these papers, I don't have to go to the auction...

you can put all this mess behind ya...

and we can both move on with our lives.

He's right.

Dad, no.

- What? No, he's not right.- Really?

Here you go.

I even brought a desk for ya.

There ya go.

Thank you very much.

It's been a pleasure doing --

Yeah, you read that right.

See You At The Race.

Now take your papers and your fake Armani suit...

and get back in your car over there and get off my porch.

It's not fake.

We're gonna need a car.

And a sponsor.

What about a driver?

You wanted trust. Here it is.

This is the car Lug Nut used to beat Conrad the first time.

I think it's time she showed her teeth again.

Yeah, this is D.H.

All right, Derwin, Charlie, when you get back...

salvage whatever you can off the other car.

All right, I gotta take this.

Could be a sponsor.

Hey Hals, how ya doin'?

What have I done?

I mean, this is a mistake.

It's a mistake.

Tom, just take a breath.

Honey, if he doesn't win, we lose everything.

It's too much pressure on the kid.

It's too much pressure on him...

if you don't give him your support

and your confidence.

Honey, this relationship that you're building with our son...

it's more important than anything we own.

God, I love you.

Why don't we go lock up.

Okay.

Believe in him.

I want you to practice your turns.

About all you'll be able to do, this track is so small.

But you need some time in the car.

Huh?

What is it?

It's just, I always wanted this.

I always wanted my dad to trust me with responsibilities and what not

Now that he does, I'm scared--

Be stupid if you weren't.

- Dad, look- - No, Jeremy.

- Look, Dad-- - Look, Jeremy--

You go first.

My dad was not a nice man.

And he was always absent.

So I've never had a good example on how to do this, just--

I just knew I had to do better.

Dad, look, you don't have to do this right now.

Yeah, I do.

And in trying to provide you with more...

I've done basically the same thing he did.

I haven't been there.

Feel like I failed you.

Yeah, but, none of that ever mattered. All I ever wanted to

do is just hang out with you.

I didn't get to see my dad change.

I just heard about it second hand.

And I want you to see that change in person.

But what if I fail?

But what if you don't? And no matter what happens tomorrow...

Win or lose, you are always going to be my son.

There is nothing that is going to change that.

Now you go out there, and you kick up some dirt.

Don't drive with this. Drive with this.

I love you so much.

I love you, too.

Go get 'em.

The “H” is all yours..

It's race day! The U.S. Open of Dirt Track Racing!

The Dirt Track Grand National from Friendship Speedway is on.

And the favorite today has got to be Conrad Bangs.

He's on a long winning streak, and he's the oldest driver still on

the dirt track circuit. Not to mention the most well financed.

Couple more tweaks, and she'll be good to go.

Oh, by the way. Here's your helmet.

A chicken helmet?

Personally, I don't eat chickens, but your sponsor does, and he'd

appreciate it if you'd wear it.

Hey, look. At least it's kinda grittin' it's teeth, right?

Yeah. Grrr! [laughs] Come on, man.

- Hey, Derwin! - Jeremy?

Charlie, Derwin, come here.

Rick! What are you doing' here?

You're not gonna race, are you?

Yeah, yeah I'm up to qualify.

Nice helmet.

See you at the race.

Who was that?

Oh, it's no one.

All right, well we goto get you on the track.

I'm gonna tell Carol, and I'll see you at the crow's nest.

All right, listen.

To be a shoe in, you got to beat 18.5 seconds in the second lap.

You can do this. All right.

Hey guys...

Does this look weird?

It's kinda cute.

Looks good for having' a beak.

Oh, thank you.

Whoo!

Twenty-one seconds

Just keep cool, we can still make the race.

Well, you're all set.

You're running' 27th.

Hey. Hey.

Well, at least I'm not last.

Well, you kinda are. Three people are having mechanical issues couldn't run.

Hey, but that's good. That's good. That's three people you don't have to pass.

- That's great. - That's exactly right.

Just got to come in 10th on this one, that's all.

Listen, just stay focused. All you got to do is take down

one care every three laps. That's it.

One car every three laps. Okay, I got it,

All right, now just stay focused and just stay right on the-

Dad. I got this.

One car every three laps? That's hard!

Yeah, he don't know that.

We're 20 laps in on the first of 350 lappers of the day.

And all the action is at the back of the pack, right now.

Number 8, Rick Daniels, is currently in 10th.

Remember, only the top 10 positions in the next two races will make it to the

Fifty thousand dollar dash for cash.

Oh, Lucas slams the door on the 300.

Oh, the 300 takes the low line at turns three, and gets around Lucas.

Whoo!

He started dead last, but he's been taking down cars left and right.

Go!

Who's drivin' that car?

It's Jeremy Williams.

Who's Jeremy Williams?

Whoa! We got a reck out there!

The caution flag is out!

The cars slid to the inside! Slow down and go high and turn three.

Okay, got it. Slowin' and goin'.

All right, that puts you in eleventh.

Let's get 'em lined up and see how this race turns out from here.

Cars are coming to a complete stop now

as the debris clears the track.

- Do you want a drink? - No, thank you,

Okay.

All right, let's see what you got!

Cars on the move, again, under caution, now.

Come on!

And the green flag drops, it's game on!

Jeremy Williamson on the high line, pulls close,

but can't over take Brick.

Pass him! Whoo!

I got you. Okay. All right. I got you. I got you!

Williamson, getting pressure from Beau Lucas,

but now it's his turn to slam the door.

- Come on!

- You're not gonna take this one, Rick!

Jeremy passes odds on that 10 spot.

Now, Brick sideswipes Jeremy!

Williamson gives it right back! Good for him!

Jeremy Williamson, on the high line!

- And over takes Bricks number 8.

- Whoo! Yes!

Looks like team Williamson gonna make it to the Dash for the Cash.

Oh! Hit by a brick!

What was he thinking?

- Folks, that is just uncalled for. That is an amateur move.

You don't expect that, and you hate to see it,

Now, Jeremy Williamson still finishes in 10th place

so he'll be passed on to the final,

but his pit crew is gonna be busy for the next two hours.

Jeremy Williamson, a man on a mission here today.

- All right, Charlie. What's it look like under there?

- Well, at first glance, the rear end it toast.

- Hey. - Wassup, bro?

- Hey, Will. We have an hour and a half to fix this, all right?

You beat him, let it go.

- All right, Derwin, Tom. Come with me, let's see what we

can salvage out of my truck.

- Let's make this happen.

The sun has set, here at Friendship Speedway,

we are ready for the main event, just about 10 minutes from now.

We will go for the Dash for the Cash.

And everybody wants to know who's going to win this thing.

The heavy favorite, Conrad Bank?

Or the young up star, perhaps, Jeremy Williamson?

Jerry Shifter, please report to the tech shift.

- Having trouble?

- Nah. - Hmm?

Just stopped by to see if you're doin' okay.

- Right. - Yeah.

Yeah, we're fine. Why don't you get outa here?

Look, son. You did a decent job with the amateurs.

But you're about to step off the porch with the big dogs this race.

- Kiss my grits!

- Did you say "kiss my grits"? - Yeah, I did.

I don't know why I bother.

- He don't like grits, or somethin'?

- He did that better than me.

- Drivers suiting up with fifty thousand dollars on the line.

A purse this big has attracted drivers from all over the country.

Thirty drivers remain, all foaming at the mouth for the win.

If you're gonna get a hot dog, do it now, because the flag is about to drop.

- How's it look, is she gonna hold?

- I did everything short of using gum and duct tape

but, I think she's got another one left in her.

- Good, how you guys lookin', good?

Good? How you lookin', Derwin?

- Where the nuts?

- We missin' two nuts, man. - We don't have any extras?

No, we don't have any extras, man, it's too much pressure on

this tire to run on only three, not through the whole darn race.

- We aint got no extras, man. - What is it?

- I'm missing two nuts. - Lug nuts?

- Yeah, I'm missin' two of 'em.

Drivers for A-Main. 10 minutes 'til start.

Drivers, report to the line.

- Oh, wait!

Will this one work?

- Yeah, that'll work. Yes.

Conrad Baine's had a little trouble in qualifying

and is starting deep in the pack.

I've seen him win in worse positions, though.

So he is a very dangerous adversary, even still.

Jesse came from Pennsylvania, Mark Luft is from Florida,

Landon Baker from Texas, Terry Shifter from New Mexico,

and John Logan from Iowa, round out the top five.

There's the four car salute, now let's get these cars line up.

The fans are pumped up!

Five time winner, Conrad Baines, and Clift Williamson

were not very fond of each other.

Turns out the 300, Jeremy Williamson, is Clift's grandson.

I smell blood on the tracks tonight, folks,

And there's the green!

Baker, Shifter and Logan all buying for third.

Jeff, Williams, and the number 7 moves up from 14 to 11.

What a mount!

Lucy Wagner, our only female driver here tonight from Kansas,

moves up from tenth to eighth.

Oh, the cars get wadded up into turn two and the caution

flag comes out!

- There's a reck at turn two, son. Go high. Go high!

- Got it!

Looks like at least two of 'em are gonna be out of this race.

Cars lined back under caution as Wayne Mans knotted up Number 19

gets towed off the track.

And the race is back underway.

Logan moves up to third, putting pressure on Caine,

now in second. Luft is just trying to open up a lead.

Caine is not letting that happen.

- How's she feelin'?

- She feels good, I'm gonna push her.

- How far back am I?

- You're sitting at twenty.

Conrad is looking lethal tonight, making big moves

up the pack.

Jeremy Williamson gets around 33 and 115.

Caine, dropping back three more spots, not a good night for him.

- Ease back.

Williamson gets around Conrad, mid-pack.

Duncan's number one loses control,

The 17, 41, 22 and 57 all tangled up.

And the caution is out.

- You all right? - I'm all right!

It won't go in reverse, it's stuck!

Wait, no, I got it! I got it! We're good! We're good!

Twenty-five laps into the dash, John Logan, from Iowa,

has taken the lead. Landen Baker in second. Conrad Baine's is

right on his tail. Do not underestimate Baines.

- Doin' great, son. You're doing great! Keep it up!

You just grabbed fifteenth place. You're doin' great!

Conrad Baine takes the lead!

Williamson moves up six more spots.

- That's fourth. [announcer] This rookie is rockin'!

- I'm comin' for you, Conrad!

Williamson gets around veterans Logan and Baker!

Ohh!

- Yeah!

- Go! Go!

- I want you to go high in the next turn.

- What, I can't, when Dad did that, he flippe-

- Never mind that, I'm telling you to go high!

When you get to the top of the curve,

yank it hard to the inside, and floor it!

- Here goes nothing!

- I'm losing power!

Conrad Baines and Jeremy Williamson come to the

finish line. They're neck and neck!

And ohh! Jeremy Williamson was robbed!

- What?

Hey!

Check this out! [laughs]

Huh?

I'm gonna have to find a bigger bank!

What, do you think that'll buy me a lot of grits?

- I had him, Dad.

I had him!

- All right, I'm gonna go pull the car around, all right?

- Let's go.

- Well, we'll figure it out.

- I'm gonna go talk to Stephanie, okay?

Sorry, babe.

- Nice show of force, huh?

Auction's not for another thirty minutes.

- Tom, we're just gonna finish cleaning up the tools, okay?

- Here's your final pay checks.

- You know we really don't- - No, I insist. I insist.

Take them. Take them.

Thank you for stickin' around and helping us close down,

This gave me a place to do my thing, man.

- Thank you.

- Thank you. - [grunts]

- Hank.

I want you to have the bench, okay?

- Honey, I need you to finish up with that.

I need you to help me pack up all this stuff, and this.

- I just want to print a few more.

- Hold on, go back,

- What, really? Right now? Do we have to do that right now?

- Just, their about to kno- - Honey, look at it.

- Dad, just look at the picture.

- What is it? - Is that what-

- What is it?

Huh, it's-

- That means I won! [laughs]

Ohh, I gotta show this to the race officials right now!

- Stephany, you are the best [kiss] photographer ever.

I love you. Yes!

- Goin' once. Goin' twice. Sold, to the lady in the back.

You got a beautiful deal there, darlin'.

Next item up for bid,

ladies and gentlemen, we got a beautiful piece of property

at 3525 Big Lawny Way.

Who give me 90 thousand, 90k?

I got 90 right here. Give me 90k.

- Stop! Wait!

- Hey sir, I'm trying to do something here!

- I know, stop!

- What are you doin' here? - I'm here to claim my property,

Conrad. You're busted.

- What are you talkin' about?

- I happen to have a picture of you, right here,

paying off Brick, to wreck us, sabotaging the race!

The race commissioner has been sent a copy of this,

and you have been officially disqualified!

We win!

- Huh, lemme see that.

Oh, sure. I'm gonna cut you a check for your winnings,

just as soon as I make it back to my office, is that okay?

- Doggon right.

- But first I'm gonna win this auction.

Now, if there's nothing else,

I have some business to take care of.

Oh, unless you've brought enough money

to settle your debt?

I didn't think so.

Go.

- Eh, and the bid goin' twice!

- Not so fast!

You no good, money grubbin' whippersnapper.

I thought-I thought I taught you better than that.

- Look, Dad- - Well, don't you give that

"Dad" stuff. I gave you enough money so you can keep on doing

whatever you want. But it was my money!

And I don't want it used for no deceitful purposes.

Especially if the best you can

is tear down the gasoline station, the first one I that

I ever had! I don't want nothing to do with it.

And if he hadn't crashed, you-you'd be history.

Consider the debt paid!

- Wha-what?

What?

- Thank you so much. [laughs]

- Oh, my gosh. Thank you, Hank.

You're an angel.

- Congratulations, Tom. You know I've always liked you.

What do you say you come over to my office on Wednesday

we kick around some number, and try and work out a deal.

- Yeah, I don't think so. I have a service station to run,

but, I sure do appreciate it, Mr. Jacobs.

- Hey, uhh, Jenkins.

I got nine acres over by the chicken farm.

- Yeah, Conrad. I don't think there's a deal here to be made.

- No deal, huh?

- Say cheese! - Huh?

- I know he does.
