How 'bout that?

- You alright?

- Yeah, man. Talk to him.

- Anyone hear anything?

- Nope.

I'm callin' him again.

(male announcer)

'Final call for qualifying.'

'All drivers to pre-grid.'

Alright, someone go out

and find his ass.

Yo, his ass is here.

Robbie, will you grab my suit?

You got two minutes to qualify.

Relax, old man, alright.

Winners need their beauty sleep.

You didn't win, idiot.

And I hear you were out

till 5:
00 a.m.

You look like sh*t.

- You stink of Jager.

- 'You smelling me now?'

I didn't have time to shower.

Back off, Rick.

Are you still drunk?

He's drunk.

Maybe you don't remember

being in your 20s, buddy.

- But I process that sh*t.

- Oh, yeah?

You wanna take a breathalyzer

and prove it?

He's gonna be fine, boss.

He's gonna be fine.

- Let's just get ready to roll.

- Yeah, boss.

- Chill out.

- Whoa, whoa.

[clamoring]

Don't you ever

put your hand on me!

Try to picture, pal. Alright.

You want podiums?

You want TV time?

Get used to this face.

'Cause it is Team Radden.

Not anymore. You're fired.

Rick, whoa, hey, Rick.

Come on, man, use your brain.

Hey, we gotta get a truck

in this race.

We're gonna lose

our series points.

What points? A bunch

of bottom-half finishes.

Who gives a sh*t?

You really wanna do this, Rick?

- Yeah, I do.

- Okay.

Kiss your sponsors goodbye, pal.

You're gonna be back to living

off your wife by tomorrow.

Get out of my pit.

You were always holdin' me back

anyway, old man.

Adios, succos.

What the hell was that?

(Rick)

'What? What are you doin'?'

What, you want out too?

Outta what?

We're done.

Qualifying started.

Well, you don't need

to qualify to race.

Race?

- We don't got a driver.

- Yeah, we do.

The kid.

- Wait, what?

- You could do this, kid.

No, no, no.

Last night was great and all

but that was an open track.

This is the real deal, guys.

You wanna put a shop boy in a

Pro 4 truck with no seat time.

He's had a good five, six

minutes on the track.

- Yeah, seven at least.

- Jesus, Rick.

- You lost your mind, man.

- Hey, look, this is happening.

You're gonna join us or you

gonna go off with your boy?

It's your call.

I don't want my name

anywhere near this train, Rick.

Oh, this is great, huh?

This is, this is good.

Anyone else?

Bulger?

Alright,

let's get this rig ready.

Come on, man.

Let's get you suited up.

[dramatic music]

Looking good.

Hey, kid, look,

I had to lie a little.

I told the officials

you raced short track in Mexico.

- Mexico?

- Just roll with it if they ask.

- Alright.

- Alright, look, just..

Keep it on all fours

for the first 12 laps

and then we'll take it

from there.

Alright.

Look, you got skills.

I know it.

Freeman knew it too.

I think that's why

he sent you to me.

You got this.

Alright.

[retches]

Attaboy! Lighten the load.

Alright. Head down, mouth shut,

hop to, Dez.

(Seaver)

'The big news as we look

at our starting grid'

'is that Trent Lerion is

unavailable for today's race.'

'And get this,

Rick Radden has replaced him'

'with 17-year-old Dez Truss.'

'Apparently,

he's raced down in Mexico.'

Alright, now we'll start in last

row 'cause we didn't qualify.

'That's okay.

That's a good thing.'

'Give you some space

to warm up.'

Si, senor.

(Seaver)

'It's time to sling some dirt'

'with big horsepower

and all four wheels diggin'.'

- Here we go.

- Hell, yeah.

- 'The green flag is up.'

- Stay on all fours.

(Seaver)

'And we are green,

green, green.'

[engine revving]

Oh, I can't see a thing.

- Oh, sh*t.

- You okay, kid?

Like a pinball.

(Rick)

'Yeah, you'll get used to that.'

That's it. Hang back.

Watch their lines.

Get to know the track.

(Seaver)

'Bringing up the rear

in the Number 7'

'Rockstar truck

is the new Team Radden driver.'

(Arnold)

'I don't know what

the Spanish word is for dirt'

'but he's gonna eat

a lot of it here today.'

Well, at least the truck's

still holdin' up.

Yeah, no sh*t.

He's goin' 10 miles an hour.

(Seaver)

'Barron in the white, red

and orange goin' to the bottom.'

'Kyle LeDuc in the black

on the outside.'

(Arnold)

'Oh, oh, contact, huge move.'

'How did Kyle save that?'

Okay, let's see

if you can make a move.

'Stay on his back porch

until the turn.'

- Then take a line inside him.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(Seaver)

'Now, look at this, at the back

of the track, Dez Truss'

'our newcomer, looking into make

a move on Josh Merrell.'

'Oh, and there he goes.'

Way to go, Dez.

Keep it together.

(Seaver)

'And Truss passes him

on the inside.'

(Arnold)

'I don't think that's gonna sit

too well with Josh Merrell.'

Hey, I can take this next guy

right here.

Okay, watch your six.

Merrell's coming back for you.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Okay, go, go, go, kid.

The truck's live.

Oh, God!

Hey, w-w-what about Merrell?

(Rick)

'That was nothing.

He's fine too.'

- Nothin'?

- Yeah, welcome to Pro 4, kid.

(Seaver)

'Oh, that crash

took Merrell out'

'but Dez Truss continues on.'

- Alright.

- 'And the white flag is out.'

- 'This is the final lap.'

- Alright, last lap.

(Rick)

'Pretend it's the Wolves

and the 5-O are closing in.'

Yeah, I got it.

[engine revving]

(Seaver)

'And that makes six consecutive

wins for Carl Renezeder.'

'And last to cross the line

is Mexican newcomer Dez Truss.'

Alright, kid. Alright.

You did it.

(Seaver)

'Carl Renezeder

definitely giving the team'

'a lot of momentum right now.'

Lucky to have you, Carl.

We're proud of you.

Yeah.

Alright, kid.

(Bulger)

You took some solid lungs

out there today, kid.

Yeah, you got that one guy.

Hey, man, don't worry, we've

been in ninth tons of times.

Just drink it in.

Sorry

I couldn't do better, boss.

But you didn't kill my truck

and you finished the race.

Today that's a win.

Well, how was that spin out?

- Weird, man. Weird.

- That's crazy, right?

Still got any

of those sponsors left?

I got eight voicemail

I'm afraid to listen to.

Yeah.

(Seaver)

'And we have word

that the fast lap of the race'

'was put in at the final lap

by newcomer Dez Truss.'

- Oh.

- What, Dez!

- What did he say?

- Fastest lap, hey, you.

- There you go, kid.

- Oh, nice. Well done.

Looks like we're gonna keep

those sponsors.

- Right on, Dez.

- Good first day, kid.

Are you nervous?

No, I just don't see

why you gotta tag along?

I've been takin' care of Tanya

since she was eight.

That's the rules, Dez.

And it's only temporary.

Besides, I'm excited

to meet her.

- Yeah, she's cool.

- I bet.

Alright, it's up here

on the right.

[knocks]

Dez!

- I brought you somethin'

- Thank you.

And we all fall together

I just wanna change

the view of my life

View of my life

with you in my life

Be much better than

the rules that we break

We all fall together

And I just wanna change

the view of my life

View of my life

till we all satisfied

Be much better than

the rules that we break

And we all fall together

I'm trying to get

a better view of my life
