and you-- you worked hard,

and you sacrificed everything,

and now look

what you have.

This is my dream.

This is what I do well.

If I could have half

of what you have--

a business, a family--

Mr. Lopez.

Your daughter

is, um--

Your daughter's

quite extraordinary,

and I-- I look at you,

and I see why.

- [Squeals]

- Yeah!

[Justin]

Yes! Attaboy!

Right on, man. Great.

Thank you, Mr. Lopez.

Thank you.

Thanks to Rancho Bonita

and myself,

your ride's

now officially pimped.

Dude, your bike's

making me hungry.

It's all right.

[Alex]

Yeah, it's good.

[Cale Thinking]

God,

I'm, uh, freaking out

a little bit here.

Look, I know that sometimes

I question whether you're

even there or not,

but I figure lately...

that you have to be there

in order for me to be here.

I just want to ask you

to help me do my best today...

and, if possible,

could you smooth out

the track?

Amen.

Hey.

Yeah, I'm all right.

I'm just, uh,

mapping out the track.

You're gonna be amazing.

Thank you.

I'm a little nervous.

[Jeannette Laughing]

Come on, Cale!

Come on. Hurry, hurry!

The final's about to start.

[Announcer] How do you do,

ladies and gentlemen?

And good afternoon.

Today is a huge race,

with so much at stake.

Keep an eye

on the starter, okay?

Watch his body language.

As soon as he hits the pin,

the holeshot's yours.

Derek looks strong,

Shawn Nash is tearin' it up,

so you gotta get out front

early this time, okay?

Now, the track

is totally rutted.

It's treacherous.

You gotta be strategic.

Keep your low foot

in front of you.

Sit on it, your high

side'll be fine, okay?

All right, got it.

Yeah?

What did I just say?

Not a clue.

Why am I here?

Why--

Uh, free food?

- Sympathy?

- The chicks.

- The chicks.

- Yeah, the chicks, the chicks.

Seriously, don't worry.

I just gotta focus on the ruts.

If I get that, I win.

Yeah, and if you don't--

[Imitates Bomb Falling,

Explosion]

Yeah.

[Clears Throat]

Come here.

To the flag.

To the flag.

All right.

[Announcer]

This track has suffered

a lot of rain this week.

Still very wet,

with a lot of deep ruts the boys

will have to watch out for.

One miscalculation,

and a rider could easily

be thrown from the race.

Hey, Cale!

No bike today?

I guess your sponsor

forgot.

Oh, that's right!

You don't have a sponsor.

Trent.

Hey.

[Whooping]

Ah!

Oh, my God!

You've got to

be kidding me.

What's next, guys, hot dogs?

Give 'em hell, Cale, okay?

You've worked hard,

and you deserve this.

Hey, we all have.

[Justin]

Come on, Cale!

You can do this, bro!

[Announcer]

We're almost ready to begin.

The starter will check

each rider--

It's Cale! It's Cale!

Right there, Mommy!

That was Cale! Come on, Cale!

You can do it!

All good?

Good? Good? Good?

Ready.

We are seconds away

from the final moto.

Whose day will it be?

Hey, bro.

Now, Grant, you've felt

the pressure of this

race-day moment many times.

What are these young riders

thinking as they prepare

to drop the clutch?

Is it a matter of--

Now, hold on. Wait.

One rider seems to

be having a problem.

Oh, and it appears Cale Bryant

is backing away from

the starting line.

[Trent]

What's going on?

Cale, what are you doing?

I'm assuming he must have

some sort of a technical

problem out there.

- Now he's back

on the bike again.

- What the hell is he doing?

He's backed up from the gate and

appears to be trying a running

start-- a very bold move.

There they go!

- Oh, yes!

- Yeah! Attaboy!

[Alex]

Come on, Cale!

Cale Bryant risks total disaster

and times the gate perfectly.

He nails the holeshot,

and, man, Derek Black

is all over him!

[Grant]

That was one gutsy move.

[Announcer]

Look at these guys go.

Cale Bryant hammered

through that turn.

He is hot right now, with

Derek Black a close second.

Go, Cale!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Do it!

[Announcer]

Number 71 has the lead.

Cale Bryant,

with Derek Black, 37,

in second place,

and they have

left the pack behind

by several lengths so far.

Cale Bryant into the turn.

He is on fire.

Go, Cale! Go!

Take it easy, bro.

Cale Bryant fighting

for first, with Derek Black

pressing down hard.

Cale Bryant in the lead.

He's taking that turn high

on the hill, but Derek Black's

coming on, pushing him higher.

Derek Black is pushing him up.

He's pushing. He's pushing him.

- Cale is out!

Cale Bryant is out!

- Cale!

[Announcer]

Bryant is down!

Oh! Oh, my God.

And Derek Black

takes the lead.

- Cale Bryant is up,

and he's back in the race--

- Oh!

but a long way out.

I don't know if there's any way

he can catch Derek Black,

who is still leading the pack.

[Grant]

Bryant is back up,

but he is way back in the pack.

He seems to be in about

ninth place right now.

[Announcer]

And Cale Bryant has moved

into eighth-- no, seventh--

- Wait. Sixth place!

- Go, Cale! Come on!

[Announcer] Bryant,

number 71, moving up fast.

This is amazing, folks.

He's taking some big risks out

there, but they're paying off,

and he's narrowing the gap.

Yeah!

Yes!

[Announcer]

Cale Bryant has moved

into second place,

and, boys and girls,

we have ourselves a race.

Come on, Cale!

Derek Black

still has a big lead,

but Bryant is chasing him down.

Yeah!

It's a two-man race, folks--

a two-man race--

with Black in the lead,

and Bryant right behind.

- Come on, buddy.

Throttle down! Throttle down!

- Look at Cale Bryant go!

He is chasing him down.

It looks like Black is gonna

try and cut him off again. Oh!

Bryant does a brake check,

and knocks Derek Black off

his bike and out of the lead.

- Cale Bryant is out in front.

- Yeah, Cale! Whoo!

Oh, my God! Wow!

Get him, buddy!

This is amazing. All the way

from the back of the pack, Cale

Bryant is now in first place.

[Grant]

It's gonna seem like

the longest lap of his life.

He lost his chain.

- Cale!

- No, Cale!

[Announcer]

Oh, Cale Bryant is down!

Cale Bryant is down!

- It's over.

- He seems to have lost

his chain, folks.

It's all over

for Cale Bryant.

Cale!

[Trent]

Get up, buddy!

Come on. Get up!

[Groans, Grunts]

[Announcer]

Now Derek Black is back up, and

he may still have a chance here.

Derek Black is back up.

Bryant is on his feet.

- What the heck is he doing?

- He seems okay, but his machine

is done for the day.

[Trent]

This is beautiful.

Come on, Cale!

Yeah! Go, Cale!

[Trent]

Keep it going. Keep it coming.

Come on. Push. Push.

Come on, Cale!

This is quite remarkable.

I have never seen

anything like this.

[Grunting]

[Trent, Justin Shouting]

Keep going, buddy!

Ace that finish line!

Come on!

Yeah, Cale! Go!

[Announcer]

Cale Bryant is pushing his bike

to the finish line.

Derek Black,

moving on in second,

coming hard and fast.

Derek Black is coming at him

hard and fast.

Cale Bryant wins!

[Screams]

And Cale Bryant

has done the impossible.

He's literally

dragged his bike across the

finish line for first place.
