(Arnold)

'So far, this season has started

off as the Carl Renezeder show.'

(male announcer)

'All teams to pre-grid.

All teams to pre-grid.'

'The race is about to begin.'

- You got this, brother.

- Okay. You gotta be safe.

Hey, can I go too?

Clean up the tools first,

then meet us at the hot pits.

(Arnold)

'And Carl Renezeder

will be starting out'

'of Row 2 today as we check out

our starting grid.'

(Seaver)

'Back in Row 5,

Trent Lerion's off'

'to another disappointing start

for Rick Radden's team.'

'There's reports of all kinds'

'of friction

between Lerion and Radden.'

(Arnold)

Well, he's gotta finish

higher than tenth'

'to put an end to those rumors.'

(Seaver)

'And here we go, Round 4.'

'It is on and Kyle LeDuc

is out on the throttle.'

'He needs to stay in front

for 20 laps'

'to take his first victory

of the year.'

You're good. You're good.

You can't come through here

without a wristband.

- I'm crew.

- And I'm Jay-Z.

No wristband, no entry.

(Seaver)

'Trent Lerion's Number 7

Rockstar truck'

'is getting bottled up

in the back of the pack.'

- Clear, Trent, make a move.

- I can't find an opening.

What's his problem?

Don't tell me

it's the damn tires.

How are the tires?

Well, they can't make

this piece of crap truck

'go any faster.'

He says they're good.

[engine revving]

[engines revving]

Oh, sh*t.

Yeah. It's not go-karts.

(Arnold)

'Renezeder's Lucas Oil truck

is surfing well today.'

'He's run a great race.'

(Seaver)

'And Carl Renezeder takes'

'the checkered flag yet again.'

'Kyle LeDuc in second

and Rob MacCachren in third.'

(Arnold)

'Carl Renezeder,

three wins in a row?'

'A lot of momentum

for your team right now.'

And congratulations.

Another battle out there today

but, uh, you got it done.

Nice job.

(Carl)

'Lucas Oil, General Tire

And Trucks is amazing.'

To be able to win races,

you gotta be able to finish

and you gotta be able

to finish strong.

So, just really wanna give

my hats off to my crew, man.

Those guys are amazing.

Rough first day, huh?

Trent came in eighth.

You good with that?

Yeah, it's not all about

finishing position

and Trent had some fast laps

some good passes and the truck..

[sighs]

No, I'm not good with that.

Top three finishers

go on the podium.

Interviews, TV time..

That's what sponsors want.

Trent ever go to the podium?

Well, he used to all the time.

That's why I paid him

the big bucks to get him here.

But he only made two podiums

last season.

- I'm guessing that's a problem.

- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah.

- When is the next race?

Two weeks. Lake Elsinore.

Got it.

Hey, you wanna see

something cool?

[chuckles]

- Whoa.

- You know what that is?

- GMC Syclone.

- Yeah.

Turbo V6. All wheel drive.

Fastest American car in '91.

Yeah, that car won me a lot

of money back in the day.

How 'bout this?

You know what that is?

Red Dragon, ESX STI.

Limited edition.

450 horsepower.

Yeah, plus 100 shot of nitrous.

It's fast, but not as fast

as the Hellcat.

Mm, maybe we should find out.

[chuckles]

Oh, snap.

(Rick)

Yeah, it seems

like a lifetime ago.

Damn. You were a baller.

Yeah.

Why you ain't still drivin'?

I had a little accident.

Can't go 20 laps anymore.

How many races you win?

Most of 'em.

Alright, the show's over.

Let's go.

[Dez chuckles]

When your spotter tells you

Rick Radden's behind you,

uh, hold on.

(male #4 on video)

'After 12 years, 3 championships

and 109 total wins'

'the name Rick Radden was

synonymous with short course.'

'His aggressive style

drew both praise'

'and criticism

from his fellow drivers.'

He's somebody that's not, uh

not real high on my list,

you know?

(Myan)

'He's not afraid

to drive through you.'

You just gotta be tough

when you're at him.

He's got the best crew

out there.

'If I had his money, his team'

his ride, I'd smoke him.

(male #4)

'He was on his way

to a fourth championship'

'until this moment in 2012.'

(Seaver)

'Rick Radden and Creed are going

door to door into that jump.'

- 'Oh!'

- 'Oh, no!'

(Arnold)

'Radden goes for a nasty ride.'

'What a vicious barrel roll.

Let's hope he's okay.'

'They're pulling Radden out.

He's having trouble moving.'

'This could be a career ender

for Rick Radden.'

(Myan)

'Nobody, uh, likes to see

anything like that happen.'

Uh, uh, we weren't the closest,

uh, that's for sure

but that, that was

a tough one, but..

'That, that guy,

that guy's tough..'

(male #4)

Radden returned to short course

last year as a team owner

and, so far,

it hasn't gone very well.

Rick, do you consider

your first year as a team owner

a failure?

No, I, I wouldn't use

the, the term failure, no.

Do you think 2017 will be the

breakout year for your team?

Well, we're just gonna take it

one day at a time, and, um..

we think you're gonna see

some good rides

out of Trent Lerion this season.

- 'Thank you, Rick.'

- Thank you.

Alright, Dez, it's gonna be

super easy since you already

know cars. You got your master

power right here, alright?

Turn it on, engage the fuel pump

right there.

Engage the ignition, prime it.

See the pressure

go up right there?

Then you just start right here.

[engine revving]

Alright, man, just bring it

forward nice and slow.

Don't punch it.

'There ya go.'

(Rob MacCachren)

'Um, but after the fact

we found out that'

'there was a lot of mud packed

in the passenger side wheels'

'which is probably

the vibration.'

We think we had a little bit

of a carburetor issue

which, uh, caused a lack

of power and the engine oil..

(Trent)

'Just listen to what

I'm sayin', man.'

Listen here,

by increasing the front bias

we'll get you more traction

in the turns.

Yeah, until I hit a rut and

then I'm riding a tilt-a-whirl--

How about you just take

a couple of test laps, huh?

'You can do that?'

Maybe you could drive the truck

and I'll go maul a village.

- Listen--

- Okay, hey, hey!

(Harvey)

'Hey, Rick, I got this.

I'll take care of this.'

I got it.

'We're gonna decrease the bias.'

(Bulger)

Okay. Sure.

- Hey.

- 'Hi.'

Hey, how are you doin'?

Are they taking care

of you over there?

(Tanya)

'I miss you, Dez.'

I know.

[sighs]

I miss you too.

But hey, I'm gonna come see you.

- In two weeks.

- 'Okay.'

Where we at?

Best lap time so far is 50.522.

Trent has us starting in ninth

place later this afternoon.

Damn it!

[engines revving]

Harvey, I'm not feelin' it.

Uh, hit this next corner hard.

See if that rattles her a bit.

Well, it rattled me

a little bit.

Just keep runnin' on all fours.

Do what you can.

We'll check it out later

before the race.

- He's not feelin' it.

- Does he ever?

Damn it!

Hasn't anybody here

worked on a truck, anyone?

Take it easy, brother.

We'll get her ready.

When?

No, he's right.

What is it with this team?

We're never on the damn podium.

The truck is a mess.

If we don't get our heads

out of our asses

we're gonna lose the sponsors,
