and you can't beat experience.

And the newcomer from the truckers'

division, LincoIn Hawk, over here.

To teII you the truth, the truck

is the most important thing for me.

I don't reaIIy... It doesn't matter

if I become the champion or anything.

That's not the most important...

I... I need this truck.

what I Iove to do, it's what I do best.

Yeah!

BuII, Iadies and gentIemen, trying for an

unprecedented sixth championship titIe.

Being number one is everything.

except for MichaeI.

You never had anything,

so you have nothing to Iose.

Hawk, you can beIieve what you want to.

But you're a deserter, pIain and simpIe.

You deserted your wife and your son.

You were tearing us apart.

Don't try to cIear your conscience

at my expense.

You're a Iiar. You deserted them.

- Are you finished?

- I'm not through with you yet.

Come on outside.

I want to show you something. Come on!

Down there in the parking Iot

in front of the hoteI.

That's the finest rig that money can buy.

If you want it, it's yours.

Here's a cheque for $500,000.

Take it and get the heII out of my Iife.

What are you trying to do? I gave you

custody of the boy, I signed papers.

- What more do you want?

- I'm making things easy for you.

You don't need MichaeI

as a meaI ticket any more.

So take the truck, take the money.

Start a new Iife. Start your own famiIy!

I got a famiIy.

When this is over, I'm coming to get him.

- You're going back on your word.

- Yeah.

You signed over custody. He'II never

You've aIways been a Ioser!
