Sammy Hawkins:
THERE'S ACTUALLY
800 DIFFERENT HOUSES

IN THE CITY OF ANDERSON
RIGHT NOW THAT'S UP ON
THE MARKET FOR SALE.

PEOPLE IS MOVING OUT OF
ANDERSON BECAUSE THERE'S
NO EMPLOYMENT ANYMORE.

ANYWHERE YOU LOOK
IN ANDERSON,

YOU'LL FIND BUSINESSES
THAT'S SHUT DOWN.

IT'S KIND OF DOWNHEARTENING
TO SEE A PLACE LIKE THIS,

AS BIG AS IT IS,
NOT TO HAVE PEOPLE
WORKING IN IT RIGHT NOW.

THIS HERE IS ACTUALLY
A GENERAL MOTORS PLANT.

30,000 JOBS WAS LOST

WHEN THEY DECIDED
TO PICK UP AND LEAVE TOWN.

IT'S KIND OF IRONIC

THAT THE ONE PLACE
THAT I LOVE THE MOST,

THAT I LIVE FOR
EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND,

HAPPENS TO BE RIGHT ACROSS
THE STREET FROM ONE OF
THE SHUT-DOWN PLANTS,

AND THAT'D BE
THE ANDERSON SPEEDWAY.

WE DON'T MAKE
CARS NO MORE HERE
IN ANDERSON, INDIANA,

BUT WE CAN
STILL RACE 'EM,

WE CAN STILL
WRECK 'EM

AND THEY CAN'T TAKE
THAT AWAY FROM US.

- WHOO-HOO!
- ( car engines roaring )

( rock music playing )

AUSTIN, THIS HERE IS
ANDERSON SPEEDWAY.

ONE OF THESE DAYS,
ME AND YOUR DADDY'S GONNA
BUILD YOU A RACECAR,

AND YOU'RE GONNA GET
THE CHANCE TO DRIVE OUT THERE.

YOU CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT
IT'S LIKE, LITTLE BUDDY,

SITTIN' IN THAT RACECAR,

ALL THESE PEOPLE SITTIN'
OUT HERE IN THE STANDS
WATCHIN' US.

Austin:
UNCLE SAM,
DID YOU EVER WIN?

NO, UNCLE SAM AIN'T
WON YET,

BUT EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY,
AND I THINK IT'S TIME
IT'S MY TURN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

( country western music
playing )

THAT'S OUR FACTORY.
THAT'S FIRESTONE.

( whirrs )

Sammy:
HALF THESE MACHINES SIT
AT "IDLE" DURING THE DAY.

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH EMPLOYEES
TO KEEP ALL OF 'EM RUNNING.

IT'S RIDICULOUS.

THAT'S THE WAY
THIS PART OF INDIANA
IS BECOMING, THOUGH--

A LOT OF THE FACTORIES
AND STUFF SHUTTIN' DOWN,

DOWNSIZING.

AND YOU CAN'T REALLY FIND
A DECENT JOB ANYMORE

TO SUPPORT
YOUR FAMILIES.

( chatting )

WHAT'S GOING ON,
HONEY?

- THIS RIGHT HERE?
- YEAH?

( mumbles )

Man:
THESE UP HERE IS
ALL RIGHT.

THEM ONES DOWN THERE,
THEY-- THEY OUT OF WHACK.

Sammy:
GOOD TO GO.

Woman:
MUCH BETTER.
( laughs )

67 AUTO-BUILD'S READY.

Woman #2 over radio:
Doing their walk-around.

The latest--
Mr. Viddle.

I'M UP ON AIRIDE FLOOR.

WHEN HE GETS UP AROUND HERE,
I'LL TELL HIM. BYE.

ANYTIME ANYBODY RETIRES,
THEY WALK THROUGH AND SAY
GOODBYE TO EVERYBODY.

I THINK I FOUND HIM.
WHAT'S GOING ON, JIMMY?

YOU HAVE FUN.

- WELL, ENJOY
YOUR RETIREMENT, BUDDY.
- I WILL.

CONGRATULATIONS.

THIS IS PRETTY MUCH WHERE
HE SPENT HIS WHOLE LIFE.

HE WAS HERE WHEN IT WAS
IN FULL-BORE--

1200 EMPLOYEES--
AND HE SAW IT GO
FROM THAT TO NOTHIN'.

TAKE IT EASY, JIMMY!

- IS IT BREAK TIME?
- Man: CLOSE ENOUGH.

GOD DAMN,
I AIN'T DONE A WHOLE LOT.

HOW ARE YOU GONNA DO
ON SATURDAY THERE, SHEEPDOG?

- "SHEEPDOG."
- TRY TO WIN
THAT 6' TROPHY.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "TRY"?
- THERE'S A LOT OF FAST
DRIVERS ON THAT TRACK.

- IT AIN'T EVEN
IN YOUR VOCABULARY.
- YOU GOTTA GET PAST 'EM ALL.

- "TRY" SHOULDN'T BE THERE.
- "TRY" SHOULDN'T BE THERE.

- YOU'RE GONNA DO IT.
- THINK POSITIVE, SAMMY,
THINK POSITIVE.

- DID YOU EVER WIN A RACE?
- NOPE. NOT WON ONE YET.

HOW COME IF YOU'VE NEVER
WON A RACE, YOU KEEP RACING?

'CAUSE I NEVER GIVE UP.

( all laughing )

I'LL GET THAT TROPHY
ON SATURDAY

ANY WAY I CAN.

JUST DON'T STEAL IT,
'CAUSE THEN YOU GO TO JAIL.

( all laugh )

( country western music
playing )

NOW WHAT'S YOUR CHANCES
OF WINNING TODAY?

IF I DRAW A GOOD NUMBER
UP FRONT, THEN I'LL FINISH
IN THE TOP FIVE.

N-40.

THAT'S NOT
A GOOD NUMBER.

THAT MEANS I--
IF THERE'S 40 CARS...

- Woman: THE TAIL.
- ...I'LL BE ON THE TAIL.

WELCOME, EVERYBODY,
TO THE ANDERSON SPEEDWAY.

WE'VE GOT A GREAT
TURNOUT OF CARS.

REMEMBER,
IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

TO KNOW WHERE
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.

OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S RAIN
IN THE FORECAST--

IT'S GONNA BE
VERY SLICK.

WE HAVE
OUR TRACK CHAPLAIN HERE

IF YOU'D LIKE TO HANG AROUND
JUST FOR A SECOND.

TODAY IS FOR FUN.
HAVE A GOOD TIME.

ANYBODY GOT ANY PRAYER
REQUESTS BEFORE WE GO

TO THE LORD
AND PRAY TODAY?

I GOT A NEPHEW GETTIN'
READY TO GO OVERS--

- TO WAR.
- Chaplain: OVER TO WAR?

HE LEAVES TOMORROW.

OUR HEAVENLY FATHER,
WE BOW BEFORE YOU THIS DAY.

WE THANK YOU,
LORD JESUS, FOR GIVING US
ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY

TO COME AND PARTICIPATE
IN THIS SPORT THAT WE LOVE.

AMEN.

- GOD BLESS YOU, GANG.
GOD BLESS YOU.
- THANKS.

EVERYBODY HAVE
A GOOD TIME.

I'M NERVOUS, DAD.

IT'S RAINING LIKE HELL!

YOU JUST DO LIKE I SAY.

JUST KINDA LAY IN THERE
AND JUST KEEP YOUR COOL.

( engines revving )

Announcer:
HEY, AND WE'RE READY
TO GO RACING

ON A VERY VERY SLICK
RACETRACK.

AND THE GREEN FLAG
IS UP!

OOH, ALREADY ONE SLIDING
DOWN TO THE GRASS.

- WHOO!
- AHH!

Announcer:
OOH, AND SAMMY HAWKINS
TURNS IT AROUND

RIGHT IN FRONT
OF THE FIELD.

CAR'S LOOSE AS HELL.
WON'T STICK.

( glass shatters )

Announcer: YEE-HAW!

I AIN'T SCARED.
IF THERE'S A HOLE,
I'M SHOOTING IT.

Announcer:
THERE'S SAMMY HAWKINS,

RUNS RIGHT--
OH, THE TWO CAR.

( all shouting )

17, ALICE RIALL...

GOD DAMN IT!

Announcer:
AND WILD WILLIE IS TRYING
TO TAKE IT AWAY ONE MORE TIME.

YEAH!

OH, WATCH OUT,
WATCH OUT!

WHOO!

AS WE COME
FOR THE MONEY!

THIS TIME DOWN,
IT'S GONNA BE--

OOH, AND SAMMY HAWKINS OUT
THROUGH THE DIRT ONCE AGAIN.

MY CAR IS FUCKED UP!

AND HERE'S CURTIS CHAPMAN,
YOUR WINNER!

PUT 'EM TOGETHER
FOR YOUR WINNER--

CURTIS CHAPMAN!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

FUCK 'EM.

SAMMY HAWKINS,
HE JUST NEEDS
TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE.

I THINK
HE'S A MORON.

- FUCK HIM!
- HE JUST KEPT PLOWING INTO ME,

PLOWING INTO ME,
TILL HE'D FLATTENED MY TIRE.

BAD RACE.
EVERYTHING'S FUCKED UP
ON MY CAR,

I GOT ABOUT 20 PEOPLE
PISSED OFF AT ME RIGHT NOW.

- FUCKIN' GO!
- MOVE OUT OF THE GODDAMN WAY,
YOU PUSSY.

WHAT THE FUCK'S
GOING ON?

( all shouting )

- COME ON DOWN, BOYS!
- Man: PUSSY!

HERE, PUSSY
PUSSY PUSSY!

YOU DON'T WANT TO START OFF
GOING TO JAIL TODAY.

- NO, I DON'T...
- OKAY, JUST--

...BUT A BUNCH OF ASSHOLES
CALLED ME "DIRTY DRIVER,"

AND I DIDN'T DIRTY DRIVE
NOBODY. IT'S BULLSHIT.

THEY'RE JUST--
THEY'RE JUST PISSED OFF

BECAUSE THE CAR--
LOOK AT MY CAR!

MY CAR IS CREAMED,
AND I DON'T GIVE A SHIT.

- IT'S RACING.
- OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S IT.

WHY DID YOU STOP
YOUR CAR HERE?

THEY FUCKIN' SCREAMING
AT HIM.

GET IN YOUR TRUCK AND GO.

- THEY'RE SCREAMING AT US.
- GET IN YOUR TRUCK AND GO.

THEY'RE SCREAMING AT US.
YOU TAKE CARE OF IT.

THAT'S RACING
AT ANDERSON SPEEDWAY.

Man:
AIN'T IT A RIOT?

NO TROPHY FOR ME
THIS WEEK.

( country western music
playing )

HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?

Man:
...A MILLION BUCKS.

- WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
- NO TROPHY?

NO, NO TROPHY.

( laughing )

BACK TO
THE REAL WORLD, BUDDY.

ONE OF THESE DAYS,
IT'LL HAPPEN FOR ME.

I'D JUST, ONE OF THESE
DAYS, LIKE TO

COME OUT BEING
THE WEEKEND HERO
OUT OF IT,

GET ME A TROPHY
AND HAVE A BUNCH OF
LITTLE KIDS SWAMPING ME.

MY NAME'S ALICE RIALL.

I RACE
AT ANDERSON SPEEDWAY.

I'M PROBABLY THE OLDEST
GRANDMOTHER OUT THERE

RACING IN THE THUNDERCAR
DIVISION.

THAT'S ME WHEN
I FIRST STARTED.

GOT MY FIRST WIN
IN JULY OF '77.

I WAS IN THE TOP 10
MOST OF THE TIME.

( child fussing )

THIS IS MY GARAGE,
AND AS USUAL,

SEE, THEY'RE ALL
SITTING AROUND EATING.

- Man: FUCK,
WE JUST GOT HERE.
- ...JUST--

JUST TAKING A BREAK.

CAN WE START THE CAR UP
AND HEAR HOW IT RUNS?

( starter cranking )

IT'LL HIT.
IT'LL FIRE HERE
IN A MINUTE.

( engine turns over,
roaring )

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT
AS LONG AS SHE CAN HIT
THAT GAS PEDAL!

SHE FIRST STARTED RACING THERE

BACK IN THE DAY.
A LONG TIME AGO, YOU KNOW?

NO GUYS WANTED A WOMAN
OUT THERE RACING WITH 'EM,

ESPECIALLY ONE
WHAT COULD BEAT 'EM.

THAT'S MY GOAL--
TO GO OUT THERE
AND JUST RUN GOOD,

TRY TO STAY OUT
OF TROUBLE,

GO TO THE FRONT,

BE THERE EVERY WEEK

AND FINISH FIRST PLACE
IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
THE END OF THE YEAR.

( engine sputtering )

Man:
DON'T BREAK A SWEAT
OVER THERE, BILLY!

( men all laughing )

I AM BILLY RIDDLE.
I DRIVE THE ORANGE 21 CHEVROLET.

I'M SECOND IN THE THUNDERCAR
OVAL POINTS RIGHT NOW.

TWO POINTS OUT OF THE FIRST
AWAY FROM ALICE RIALL.

THIS IS MY DAD.

THAT'S MY BIG BROTHER
MIKE RIDDLE, JR.

THAT'S MY MOM CAROL.

NOW THEY'RE ALL INVOLVED
IN ON THE COBRA RACING TEAM.

THAT WAS BACK IN 1980.

DAD USED TO
RACE THIS CAR.

HBO SPONSORED US.

THAT'S BACK WHEN,
YOU KNOW, 20 YEARS AGO
WHEN HE STARTED RACING.

THEY CALL ME MR. EXCITEMENT
AND BLING-BLING.

I LIKE "MR. EXCITEMENT,"
NOT REALLY THE "BLING-BLING."

I GUESS IT'S ALL
THE JEWELRY I WEAR.

I LIKE TO BE FLASHY.

( all laughing )

HEY, LOOK AT WHAT I GOT.
KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

NO? MOONSHINE.

HELL, THIS AIN'T
NO BIG SURPRISE.

MY WIFE WOULD DRINK RACIN' FUEL
IF YOU PUT IT IN A CUP.

( man laughing )

I DON'T HAVE NOTHIN' TO DO.
SO WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO,

BUT DRINK?

OKAY.

SEE THAT PRETTY
BLUE FLAME?

YOU KNOW THAT'S
SOME STRONG SHIT.

( laughing )

WHOO.

DAMN.

- I DON'T WANT TO PLAY
MY GUITAR RIGHT NOW.
- YES YES YES YES.

- NO, I DON'T WANT TO.
- YES YES YES YES.

Man:
DENY AMERICA.

YES YES YES.

I CAN'T PLAY ANYTHING
ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

I'LL PLAY PART OF
"SIMPLE BED." I AIN'T
GONNA PLAY NOTHIN' ELSE.

( music continues )

I WANT TO GO OVER
AND PAY MY RESPECTS

TO MY MAIN RIVAL DRIVER
OUT AT THE RACETRACK.

WE'VE ALMOST KILLED
EACH OTHER ON THE TRACK
AND OFF THE TRACK,

BUT I'M HOPING TODAY
IT'LL BE A LITTLE BIT--

BE A LITTLE BIT
MORE CIVILIZED.

WE CALL HIM "WILD WILLIE"
OR "BUD ROW."

ONE OF THE CRAZIEST
DRIVERS I'VE EVER SEEN
IN MY LIFE OUT THERE.

MOM, THIS IS SAMMY HAWKINS.

- NICE TO MEET YOU, MA'AM.
- HOW YOU DOIN'?

NOT TOO BAD.
HOW ABOUT YOURSELF?

STRAIGHTEN YOUR ACT UP
ON THAT RACECAR AND QUIT
DRIVING DIRTY.

IT AIN'T FOR ONE DRIVER,
IT'S ALL DRIVERS.

I JUST GOT
A BAD TEMPER.

- SOMEBODY GETS
INTO ME, AND I GO BACK.
- WELL, I TELL YOU WHAT,

BUD'S GOT-- BUD'S GOT
A BAD TEMPER TOO,

AND IF HE WANTS TO
TEAR UP SOMEBODY'S CAR,

HE'LL TEAR IT UP.
NO MATTER WHAT,
IF HE TEARS HIS UP,

HE'LL TEAR IT UP.

WE'RE WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE OUT THERE.
AND WE'RE GONNA WIN IT
THIS YEAR, PERIOD.

- I'VE DONE TOLD EVERYBODY.
- OH, HELL NO.

OH NO, THAT AIN'T--
OH NO.

YOU'RE-- I'M GONNA BE
RIGHT THERE TOO.

I DON'T WANT TO RUB IT IN,
BUT WHY DON'T YOU COME IN HERE

AND TAKE A LOOK
AT WHAT I GOT?

RIGHT HERE
IS SOME OF 'EM.

THERE'S SOME MORE
OVER HERE.

THESE ONES RIGHT HERE
ON TOP OF THE SHELF RIGHT HERE

ARE THE ONES THAT
I WON LAST YEAR.

ALTOGETHER, WE PROBABLY
WON 50 TROPHIES

OVER THE PAST FOUR
OR FIVE YEARS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT, SAMMY?

MAN.

WE'LL SEE YOU, SAMMY.

I CAN'T WAIT
TO KICK HIS ASS.

( laughs )

I HAD REAL BAD LUCK
18 YEARS AGO

IN A MOTORCYCLE WRECK
AND LOST MY RIGHT--

USE OF MY RIGHT ARM.

AND IT JUST SHATTERED IT,
IT JUST MANGLED IT,

PULLED THE NERVES OUT
OF THE SPINAL CORD.

I HAD TO LOOK
AT THAT EVERY DAY

FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS
LIKE THAT.

TOOK EVERYTHING I HAD...

AWAY FROM ME IN LIFE
EXCEPT FOR MY MOM AND DAD...

AND MY FAMILY, YOU KNOW?
IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT,

I'D HAVE PROBABLY DONE
SHOT MYSELF.

BUT, YOU KNOW, NEVER--

LEE CALLED THUNDERCAR RACING,
AND I WANTED TO DRIVE.

WELL, I CAN DRIVE ONE-ARMED

BETTER THAN ANY
OF THEM OUT THERE.

YOU TIE ONE ARM
BEHIND YOUR BACK,

GO OUT THERE,
RUN LIKE HE DOES,

TRY AND WIN
AND SEE IF YOU CAN
DO IT WITH ONE ARM.

WE MOVED THE SEAT OVER.
THAT WAY

I CAN GET IN IT
AND I'VE GOT ALL THIS ROOM...

TO PLAY, BECAUSE I ONLY
NEED THIS MUCH WHEEL.
YOU KNOW?

THE RACETRACK ANNOUNCER IS
THE ONE THAT GAVE HIM THAT NAME.

"WILD WILD WILLIE."

Willie:
MY MOM GOT THAT AT
A YARD SALE.

- ( rock music playing )
- SHE SAID, "THIS FITS YOU
REAL GOOD, SON.

WHY DON'T YOU PUT THIS
ON YOUR CAR?"

( quotes rock lyrics )

MY BROTHER MAKES SURE
EVERYTHING'S WORKING GOOD
ON THE MOTOR.

- DO IT AGAIN.
DO IT AGAIN.
- ( starter churning )

I ALWAYS WANTED TO
BUILD SOMETHING FASTER
THAN ANYBODY ELSE HAD,

SO IT JUST KIND OF CAME
OUT LIKE THAT

AND THEN WE GOT
INTO RACING.

AND THERE WAS
18,000 GM JOBS

HERE IN
19-- I THINK-- 73.

AND NOW THERE'S
ONLY LIKE 600 OR 700
OF 'EM LEFT, AND THAT'S ALL.

THEY AIN'T DONE NOTHIN'
FOR THIS TOWN.

THIS TOWN SUCKS.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY
I'M LIVIN' IN THIS TOWN.

WHEN YOU'RE DOWN
SCRAPIN' IN THE MUD,

IT GETS KIND OF HARD.

Sammy:
WE'RE GONNA GO OVER HERE
TO MY FRIEND BRANDON'S HOUSE

'CAUSE HE'S BEEN HAVING
A ROUGH TIME WITH HIS JOB

AND MIGHT POSSIBLY--
THEY MIGHT BE CLOSING
HIS PLANT DOWN.

WELL, COME ON IN.

NOW, BRANDON, THE OTHER DAY
WE WAS TALKIN',

YOU TOLD ME THERE WAS
A POSSIBILITY, YOU KNOW,

OF A LOT OF SHIT GOING DOWN
WHERE YOU'RE WORKING.

THEY SAY AT THE MOST,
WE MIGHT HAVE TWO,

TWO AND A HALF MONTHS
OF WORK LEFT AND THAT'S IT.

- AND THAT'LL HARDLY...
- YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH TOUGHER TIMES.

WELL, IT GOT
PRETTY ROUGH ON YOU TOO,

WHEN BRANDON HAD THE ACCIDENT
AND PUT HIS EYE OUT.

YEAH, WHEN BRANDON
HAD HIS SURGERY TO HAVE
HIS EYE REMOVED,

THAT WAS PRETTY TOUGH ON HIM,

'CAUSE HE WAS GOING
THROUGH THINGS

HIMSELF THAT I COULDN'T
HELP HIM WITH.

I WAS WORKING ON THE REAR END,
AND THE HAMMER WASN'T CURED--

HAD AN AIR POCKET IN IT--
AND WHEN I SMACKED IT,

THE HAMMER SHATTERED
AND WENT STRAIGHT
THROUGH MY EYE.

YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING
OUT OF THAT PROSTHETIC EYE,
CAN YOU?

IT'S ALL GLASS.
THAT'S THE MAIN REASON
I DON'T DRIVE.

I PUT TOO MUCH HARD WORK
INTO THE CAR

FOR ME TO GO OUT THERE
AND DESTROY SOMEBODY
ELSE'S EQUIPMENT

'CAUSE I DIDN'T SEE 'EM.
IT JUST WOULDN'T BE RIGHT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT 'EM HAVING AN AFFAIR,

YOU JUST GO TO THE GARAGE.
THAT'S WHO THEY'RE HAVING
THE AFFAIR WITH.

SHIT, MY FIRST LOVE'S
MY KIDS, THEN RACING,

THEN HER.

Sammy:
THIS IS BRANDON'S DRIVER,
ROY GRISSOM.

HEY, CAN YOU FIX THAT?

HEY, YOU CAN'T?
WELL, WHAT WE GONNA DO?

PUSH IT UP THERE.
AH!

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
LOOKY HERE.

( motor hums )

I'M KNOCKING ON WOOD
AND I'M HOPING

THAT WE BRING HOME ONE
OF THEM BIG OL' 6' TROPHIES.

HOPING, HELL.
ONE OF US IS GETTING IT.

YOU CAN COME OVER AND VISIT.
ANYTIME YOU WANT TO,

- YOU CAN VISIT
THAT 6' TROPHY.
- YEAH.

- BYE-BYE CAR!
- BYE, BUDDY.

- BYE, BUD!
- SEE YOU LATER.

I'M GONNA PUT

MY DAUGHTER'S NAME
ON THE SIDE OF MY CAR,

RIGHT ABOVE MY DRIVER'S DOOR.
MAYBE THAT'LL BRING ME SOME
KIND OF GOOD LUCK.

I LOST RIGHTS
TO MY DAUGHTER
A FEW YEARS AGO.

LAST TIME I ACTUALLY
GOT TO SEE MY DAUGHTER,

SHE'S SIX, SEVEN YEARS OLD.

SHE'S WITH HER MOTHER,

AND I JUST WANT TO CRY
EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT IT,

'CAUSE I-- WE HAD
A SON TOGETHER ALSO,

THAT PASSED AWAY.
AND ME AND MY WIFE--
MY PRESENT WIFE--

HAVE HAD TWO CHILDREN DIE.
SO ALL TOGETHER,

IF ALL MY KIDS WAS LIVING,
I'D HAVE FOUR.

BUT RIGHT NOW
I ONLY HAVE ONE LIVING,

AND SHE'S TAKEN HER
AWAY FROM ME.

AND IT'S--
SHE DONE ME WRONG.

THAT'S MY GIRL,

AND I--
I MISS HER.

THEY'VE CHANGED HER NAME,
BUT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

HER NAME'S STILL
BRITTANY RENEE HAWKINS.

THIS WAS MY LITTLE BOY, SAMMY.
HE LIVED TO BE TWO YEARS OLD.

HE HAD A DISEASE CALLED
"SHORT BOWEL SYNDROME"

AND HE SPENT MOST
OF HIS LIFE IN A HOSPITAL.

HE COULDN'T REALLY FUNCTION
ON HIS OWN VERY WELL.

AND THIS IS WHAT HE LOOKED
LIKE THE DAY BEFORE HE DIED.

I HAVE A HARD TIME
LOOKING AT IT.

IT GIVES ME KIND OF NIGHTMARES
AND STUFF WHEN I LOOK AT IT.

I KINDA KEEP IT HID.

TODAY'S EASTER,
AND WE'RE GONNA GO OUT HERE
TO HANG OUT WITH MY DAD

AND MY FAMILY,
JUST KIND OF ENJOY
SOME TIME TOGETHER.

HEY, MOM.

- LOVE YOU.
- LOVE YOU TOO, BABY.

HEY, DAD.
MM--!

( all laughing )

THAT UGLY PICTURE IS ME WHEN
I WAS A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL.

AND THEN THE ONE
RIGHT BEHIND YOU--

I WAS TELLING YOU
ABOUT MY LITTLE BOY
THAT PASSED AWAY.

THAT'S A GOOD PICTURE.
I LIKE THAT PICTURE.

WE'VE HAD A LOT
OF UPS AND DOWNS,

BUT IT'S GETTING BETTER.

I DID A LOT OF THINGS
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER,

WHAT I'M NOT PROUD OF.
AND MY DAD WASN'T TOO HAPPY
ABOUT IT EITHER,

AND KIND OF BOTHERED ME
BECAUSE I DISAPPOINTED MY DAD.

HE'S THE ONE PERSON
IN MY WORLD THAT I DON'T
WANT TO DISAPPOINT

OR, YOU KNOW--
I LOOK UP TO MY DAD.

WELL, I WANT TO WIN
'CAUSE THAT FIRST
TROPHY COMES TO YOU.

THE VERY FIRST ONE,
YOU BETTER BE READY

TO WALK AROUND THAT TRACK
AND PICK UP YOUR TROPHY,

BECAUSE THAT ONE'S YOURS.

( country western music
playing )

Willie:
WHEN I COME OVER
THIS HILL,

IT MAKES ME FEEL--
LIKE A DRUG THAT YOU
CAN'T EXPLAIN.

YOU SHAKE AND--
AND I DON'T EAT ON FRIDAYS.

AND I DON'T THINK
HALF OF THESE GUYS
OUT HERE EAT ON FRIDAYS

'CAUSE 99% OF 'EM, SEEMS LIKE,
GO EAT AFTER THEY GET DONE

BECAUSE OF THE ANX--
ANXIETY OF OUT THERE RACING.

IT'S ALL RIGHT UNTIL
YOU GO OVER THAT RAMP
ONTO THAT TRACK

AND THAT'S WHEN
IT REALLY REALLY HITS YOU.

( country western music
playing )

( engine revving )

THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

LAST THREE WEEKS,
WE GOT IT RUNNIN' BETTER
AND BETTER.

WE'RE READY TO
TRY AND-- TRY AND WIN
THIS RACE TONIGHT.

Mike Jr:
WELL, HOPEFULLY YOU'RE GETTING
READY TO SEE THE WINNER

COMING OUT OF
THIS THING TONIGHT.

WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT,
LONG AS HE KEEPS THE TIRES
ON THIS THING.

HE'LL DO FINE.

Billy:
TRACK RECORD IS 15.260,

AND I'M GONNA DO MY BEST
TO BEAT IT TODAY.

I BEAT IT
IN PRACTICE LAST WEEK.

HOW ARE YOU DOIN', SAMMY?

OH, BETTER.
GOT MY CAR RUNNIN' AGAIN.

- WELL, THAT'S GOOD.
- GUESS THAT'S A POSITIVE
THING, HUH?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

NOW, IF YOU WIN THE RACE,
THAT'LL BE PERFECT.

I'M STILL LOOKIN'
FOR MY FIRST ONE.

I STILL HAVEN'T GOT
MY FIRST ONE YET.

- YOU'LL GET IT.
- FIVE-- FIVE YEARS,

BUT ONE OF THESE DAYS,
I'LL GET IT.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER,
BUDDY.

Man:
DON'T WORK TOO HARD.

- CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?
- CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?

Girl:
ME TOO!

- Boy: THANK YOU!
- CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?

Sammy:
WHEN I WAS A KID,

MOM AND DAD USED TO TAKE ME
TO THE RACES ALL THE TIME.

I'D RUN STRAIGHT FOR THE--
TO THE PIT FENCE,

SEE ALL THE FIGHTS
AND EVERYTHING GOING ON,

AND I WANTED THE AUTOGRAPHS
AND STUFF, YOU KNOW?

BUT NOW I'M THE ONE GETTING
TO DO IT AND IT MAKES ME
FEEL PRETTY GOOD.

NOW GO OUT THERE
AND GIVE 'EM HELL, MAN.

DON'T LET 'EM FUCKING
BULLY YOU AROUND.

I AIN'T GOING TO.
THAT AIN'T WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

I WANT-- I WANT A TROPHY
ONE OF THESE DAYS.

20 LAPS OF EXCITEMENT
COMING UP TONIGHT

IN YOUR THUNDERCAR
OVAL FEATURE.

AND WHO KNOWS?
THIS COULD BE THE RACE

THAT DECIDES
THE POINT CHAMPIONSHIP.

AND WE GO,
GREEN FLAG RACING,

( rustling sound )

NOW WITH A FLAT TIRE,

THAT'S WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Announcer:

YOUR WINNER!

I'M THE MOTHERFUCKIN' BEST!

WHO'S NUMBER ONE NOW?

MOTHERFUCKERS!

Announcer:

AIN'T NOBODY DO NOTHIN'!

IT DON'T MATTER WHAT
I DRIVE, I'M GONNA WIN!

( all shouting )

TWO WEEKS AGO, I HAD
THE WHOLE ANDERSON SPEEDWAY
HOLLERIN' FOR ME.

NOW I WIN THE NIGHT
AND DRIVE CLEAN,

AND NOW EVERYBODY'S BOOIN' ME.
AND I DON'T KNOW--

I DON'T KNOW WHAT--

WELL, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU
WIN A LOT, YOU GET BOOED.

THAT'S BILLY RIDDLE.
BACK TO YOU, DANNY.

MR. EXCITEMENT, BILLY RIDDLE,
WITH A CLEAN SWEEP.

Man:
GO HOME!

I'M GETTIN' READY TO,
WITH TWO TROPHIES!

( all jeering )

TELL WILD WILLIE HE'S GOT
ONE COMIN', MOTHERFUCKER.

Woman:
I'LL FIND YOUR FUCKIN' ASS!
I'LL FIND YOUR FUCKIN' ASS.

Billy:
I BET I'M GONNA BEAT THAT
ONE-ARMED BITCH'S ASS.

HE COME UP
BESIDE OF ME,

BITCHIN' AND GRIPIN'.
I SAID...

( Red Coffman laughing )

NO DRAMA TONIGHT,
THAT'S A GOOD THING...

FOR A CHANGE.

NO DRAMA.

Woman:
TELL SOMEBODY
TO HELP YOU, PUSSY BOY!

( all shouting )

YOU'VE GOT BALLS,
MAKING FUN OF SOMEBODY
WITH ONE ARM!

- YOU'RE TELLING ME TO--
- I WATCHED YOU!

I WATCHED YOU MAKE FUN
OF SOMEBODY WITH ONE ARM,

- MOTHERFUCKER!
- HEY, ALICE?

SUCK DICK!

MAKE FUN OF SOMEBODY
WITH ONE ARM,

HIS OLD LADY
WILL WHOOP YOUR ASS,
MAKE YOU LOOK STUPID.

SO I WENT UP THERE.
I WAS GONNA SHAKE HIS HAND

TILL SHE STARTS
GETTING IN MY FACE.

"YOU MAKING FUN
OF BUD WITH ONE ARM."

SHE'S TELLIN' ME
TO SUCK DICK, I'M A FAGGOT,
AND THIS AND THAT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
LEAVE ME ALONE.

YOU TRY TO TELL HIM,

YOU KNOW, YOU BEATIN' HIM.
DON'T COME DOWN HERE,

MOUTHIN' OFF,
RUBBIN' IT INTO HIM.

YOU'RE JUST LIKE
TAKING YOUR FACE
AND RUBBIN' IT INTO HIM.

( kids yelling )

ANOTHER TYPICAL NIGHT
AT ANDERSON SPEEDWAY.

I GOT SPUN BY BILLY RIDDLE
AND KNOCKED THE HELL OUT.

- ( tool clatters )
- TOTALED MY CAR.

SO NOW I GOTTA BUILD THIS ONE,
GET ALL THE BUGS OUT OF IT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M DEALIN' WITH
RIGHT NOW-- A LOT OF BUGS.

SHIT.

BILLY RIDDLE. I'M NOT
KNOCKIN' HIS DRIVING.
HE'S A GOOD DRIVER.

IF HE'D JUST QUIT
BEING SO DAMN DIRTY,
HE'D BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU DON'T SPIN PEOPLE
TO MAKE A POSITION.

BUT YOU'LL PISS
SOMEBODY OFF LIKE ME,
AND I'LL COME OUT THERE

AND SEND YOUR CAR
HOME IN A BOX.

( spinning wrench )

THE LESSON HERE IS
THEM PEOPLE AIN'T YOUR FRIENDS.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE
I TOLD YOU THAT?

HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE I TOLD HIM THAT?

YOU THINK SAMMY WILL
BE THERE TOMORROW NIGHT?

THAT SON OF A BITCH WILL
NEVER WIN A DAMN RACE
SO LONG AS HE LIVES.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

WHOOP THEIR ASS?

YOU JUST GO RACE.
WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

THIS IS WILD WILLIE'S HOUSE.
THEY'RE PUTTIN' A ROOF ON IT.

THEY MUST BE OUT IN BACK HERE.
I CAN HEAR 'EM.

Mary:
SHOULD'A BROUGHT
BILLY RIDDLE WITH YA.

- YEAH.
- YEAH, HE COULD'A HELPED US.

IF YOU WANNA SEE ME
BEAT HIS ASS, GO GET HIM

AND TELL HIM TO GO DO
AN INTERVIEW OVER HERE.

- YEAH, TELL HIM--
- IT'S ON MY PROPERTY.
HE CAN'T DO SHIT TO ME.

TELL HIM WE NEED
HELP ON THE ROOF.

JACKIE, HOW LONG
HAVE YOU KNOWN HIM?
HE AIN'T NOTHING NEW TO YOU.

Jacqueline:
OH NO, IT'S NOTHIN' NEW.

I KNOW WHO HE IS, WHAT HE IS
AND WHAT HE'S ALL ABOUT.

HE'S A DIRT BAG.

HE'S TOO STRUNG OUT.

I WILL BEAT HIS ASS.

Willie:
WE GOTTA GET BACK
ON THE ROOF.

HE'S MORE THAN WELCOME
TO COME OVER.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM
WITH HIM COMING OVER.

I WON'T GET HIM FOR
TRESPASSING OR NOTHING,

BUT THAT DON'T MEAN
HE WON'T GET HIS ASS BEAT,
'CAUSE HE WILL.

HE ASK ME ONE DAY
IF WE CAN BE FRIENDS
OR WHATEVER,

I-- YEAH, I'LL SAY, "YEAH,
FOR SURE, FUCK IT.

BYGONES, BYGONES."
HE COMES OVER TO THE HOUSE,

HIS FUCKIN' ASS IS MINE.
IT'S ON MY PROPERTY.

CAN'T DO SHIT TO ME.

WELL, WE GOTTA GET BACK
ON THE ROOF, 'CAUSE THESE GUYS
GOTTA LEAVE AT 3:00.

OKAY, IT'S TIME
TO GET TO WORK.

( laughs )

I THOUGHT YOU WAS
BRINGING SOME MORE HELP.

BEFORE I GO
THIS WEEK, WHO YOU MAD AT?
SO I CAN TELL 'EM OFF.

TELL 'EM,
I'M PISSED OFF
AT ALL OF 'EM.

- ALL OF 'EM?
- THESE MOTHERFUCKERS
RIGHT HERE?

NEXT YEAR, WE'RE GONNA
HAVE US A FUCKIN' TEAM,

AND THEY'RE GONNA
FUCKIN' BLOCK FOR ME...

Mary:
AND THEY'RE GONNA WISH
THEY HADN'T KNOWN 'EM.

AND THERE AIN'T GONNA BE
A FUCKIN' CAR LEFT OUT THERE.

- OH GOD.
- YOU GET IN THE WAY,
YOU GET THE FUCK OUT THE WAY,

OR YOU'RE GETTIN'
SHOVED OUT OF THE WAY.

OH GOD.

SEE YOU LATER!

WE'RE OFF
TO DELIVER PHONE BOOKS.

EACH DELIVERY, BY THE BOOK--
THEY GIVE ME 60¢ A BOOK.

THERE'S A HOUSE HERE-- 235.
WHERE'S IT AT?

RIGHT HERE.

WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO
GO UP AND JUST SLING 'EM
ON THE PORCH...

OR THROW 'EM
IN THE YARD.

LOOK AT ALL
THE "FOR SALE" SIGNS.

PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD 'EM.

WHEN I SEE WHAT HAPPENS
TO MY TOWN,

IT MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT--
IF YOU WANT TO STAY HERE
AND SURVIVE

OR IF YOU WANT
TO MOVE ON.

NOW THIS BUILDING'S
CLOSED HERE...

AND THAT BUILDING'S EMPTY.

AND THAT
BUILDING'S EMPTY.

IT'S ALL EMPTY
RIGHT THERE.

A LOT OF 'EM JUST CLOSE UP
AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHY.

THERE'S A FACTORY
OVER THERE.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT IS, BUT--

Woman:
I THINK IT'S CLOSED DOWN.

YEAH.
WHATEVER IT IS.

YOU'D THINK THEY'D PUT
PEOPLE TO WORK IN 'EM,

'STEAD OF LETTIN' 'EM
SET EMPTY, BUT THEY DON'T.

IT'S GONNA BE
A GHOST TOWN.

( country western music

THERE'S QUITE
A CROWD THERE ALREADY.

YEAH, IT IS.
IT'S PRETTY CROWDED, AIN'T IT?

- PULL UP MORE.
- DON'T TELL ME
HOW TO DRIVE!

I'M SORRY.
( laughing )

WELL I-- I CAN REMEMBER
WHEN IT USED TO BE
WORSE THAN THIS.

HI, RED,

I TELL YOU WHAT:
IT'LL BE A THRILL FOR 'EM.

THEY'LL NEVER FORGET IT.

( kids screaming )

GO! GO!

HEY, MOM!

Announcer:
WE'D LIKE TO THANK YOU
FOR COMING OUT

AND PATRONIZING
ANDERSON SPEEDWAY.

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY!
DRIVE CAREFULLY.

HOW'D YOU LIKE
THE NIGHT OF THRILLS?

GOOD.

IS THIS THE BEST NIGHT?
YOU HAD FUN?

YEAH, IT IS.

PROBABLY THE BEST NIGHT.
I HAD THE WHOLE FAMILY
HERE WITH ME

AND I GOT TO
WATCH ALL THE RACES.
IT WAS REAL GOOD.

Brandon:
THE LAST SIX MONTHS,
THE ECONOMY OF THIS TOWN

HAS GOTTEN SO POOR,

IT'S JUST EVERYTHING
HAS SLOWLY DIED.

AND THIS USED TO BE
THE REALLY REALLY NICE,

RITZY PART
OF TOWN RIGHT HERE.

THIS WAS OLD EDGE,
WAS WHAT THEY CALLED IT.

AND NOW IT'S JUST...

PRETTY MUCH OLD.
THERE'S NOTHIN' LEFT.

I WAS LAID OFF
FOR ALMOST THREE MONTHS.

I GOT A MONTH BEHIND
ON MY RENT, YOU KNOW?

AND I GOT KIDS.
I GOTTA MAKE SURE--

IT GOT TO WHERE THE RACECAR--
I WASN'T EVEN RACING.

ABOUT THE TIME
I LOST MY JOB,

I HAD TO GO FOR ANOTHER
EYE SURGERY AND HAD TO GO
TAKE CARE OF ALL THAT.

IT'S $32,000 JUST
FOR THE EYE ALONE.

AND I HAD
NO HEALTH INSURANCE.
I HAD NO WAY

TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL.

HOW MUCH DID ALL THEM
EYE SURGERIES COST YOU?

AT LEAST $380-SOMETHING
THOUSAND DOLLARS

IN THE BILLS THAT I GOT
ALONE AT MY HOUSE.

THIS IS OUR LIFE
IN ANDERSON.

I GUESS SOMETIMES
IT'S GOT ITS UPS, AND LOT
OF DOWNS GO ALONG WITH IT.

THIS STRIP ALONE,
IN FRONT OF THIS STORE,

PROBABLY ABOUT 18 TO 19
BUSINESSES WENT AWAY.

WE LOST McDONALD'S.
TACO BELL MOVED.

CART GAS STATION
TOTALLY WENT OUT.

IT'S BAD.
I HOPE IT GETS BETTER,

BUT I DON'T THINK
IT WILL.

TWICE A DAY, COMING INTO WORK
AND GOING HOME FROM WORK,

I GOTTA SIT HERE AND
LOOK AT THIS RACETRACK.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
AND IT'S THE SAME THING

EVERY DAMN DAY.

IT'S "MAN, ARE WE GONNA GET
ANOTHER TROPHY THIS WEEKEND?"

THIS IS McCLURE'S STATION.
THIS IS WHERE MY
OLD LADY WORKS.

SHE'S LOOKIN'
FOR A BETTER JOB NOW,

'CAUSE SHE DON'T EVEN BRING
$200 A WEEK HOME.

OH... DON'T DO
THIS TO ME.

Brandon:
WHAT'S GOING ON?

CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR?

- WHAT?
- IF I GIVE YOU
TWO $100 BILLS,

WILL YOU PLEASE GO
GET ME CHANGE FROM PAYLESS
IF I CALL 'EM?

I HAVE NO MONEY IN MY DRAWER
EXCEPT FOR CHANGE AND DOLLARS.

MY NAME'S SHAUNA TOMPKINS.
I WORK UP HERE AT McCLURE'S.

IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN
GIVE ME $200 WORTH OF FIVES?

OKAY, I'M GONNA SEND MY HUSBAND.
HIS NAME'S BRANDON TOMPKINS.

OKAY, THANK YOU. BYE.

- WHAT IF I DON'T COME BACK?
- HONEY, YOU GOTTA COME BACK.
IT'S MY JOB.

( laughs )

WE WON'T HAVE
A HOUSE TO LIVE IN.

( mutters )

AS LONG AS SHE PUTS
HER EFFORT IN, I'LL KEEP
PUTTIN' MY EFFORT IN

AND WE'LL SURVIVE.

( dog barking )

THIS IS TYLER.
THIS IS MY OLDEST SON HERE.

HE'S A GOOD WELDER.
WE TAUGHT HIM HOW TO WELD.

NOW HE'S STARTING TO
LEARN TIRES AND CHASSIS WORK.

I JUST DON'T WANT HIM TO BE
ONE OF THEM TRACK MONKEYS,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

HE'S GOT TO HAVE
A LIFE TOO.

KYLIE?
THIS HERE'S MY DAUGHTER.

THAT'S THE ONLY GIRL I'VE GOT
OUT OF FIVE OF 'EM.

FOUR BOYS AND HER.
THIS IS KYLIE.

SHE SAYS SHE WANTS TO DRIVE TOO.
I THINK SHE'S GOT THE SKILL,

BUT... WAIT TILL MAMA
SAYS SHE CAN DO IT AND
WE'LL GIVE HER A CAR.

- A CONVERTIBLE MUSTANG.
- YEAH, I FIGURED THERE'D BE

A CONVERTIBLE
IN THERE SOMEWHERE.

- A GREEN ONE.
- A GREEN ONE?

WELL, YOU GONNA BE SPECIFIC.
WHAT KINDA WHEELS YOU WANT?

- WHAT YEAR?
- CHROME, AND NEWER.

( laughs )

PUSH IT!

Brandon:
FOR ME, THE FAMILY THAT
RACES TOGETHER STICKS TOGETHER.

I'LL TEACH 'EM
EVERYTHING I KNOW.

EVERY KID
AROUND HERE LEARNS.

THEY WANT TO LEARN,
THEY COME UP AND LEARN.

- WE AIN'T GONNA TURN 'EM AWAY.
- ( banging )

( dog barking )

WHO THE HELL'S THAT?

OH SHIT, IT'S WILLIE.
( laughs )

WHAT'S GOING ON, WILLIE?

- GOOD JOB, GOOD JOB.
- I AIN'T SHAKIN' YOUR HAND.

YEAH, I GOT ME A COUPLE GOOD
BIG-- BIG FISHING RODS HERE

FOR BIG FISH.

HELL, MY PHILOSOPHY
ON LIFE IS DON'T WORRY
ABOUT A FUCKIN' THING

AND FUCKIN'
WORK HARD AND PLAY HARD.

Sammy:
I SURE WISH I COULD GO
FISHING TODAY, BUDDY,

BUT BILLY RIDDLE
TOTALED MY CAR.

YOU KNOW, I WAS PULLIN' UP
THERE PRETTY FAST.

I WAS DOIN' REALLY WELL.
I THINK I COULD HAVE
GOT THAT ONE.

I REALLY REALLY DO.

- TIME TO GO.
- WILLIE, I DON'T GIVE
A SHIT WHAT ANYBODY SAYS,

- YOU'RE A HELL OF A DRIVER.
- HEY, I'M A DRIVIN'
MOTHERFUCKER.

AND HE'S SAID THAT
FOR SEVEN YEARS.

THERE'S A LOT
OF SON OF A BITCHES
OUT THERE WITH TWO ARMS

THAT CAN'T DRIVE
THAT GODDAMN GOOD,

SO TELL 'EM
TO KISS YOUR ASS.

DON'T YOU WORK TOO HARD
NOW ON THAT CAR.

Sammy:
I WON'T. YOU GUYS BE CAREFUL
AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.

YEAH, THAT WAY YOU CAN GET OUT
THERE AND MAYBE WIN THAT RACE

- BEFORE THE YEAR'S OUT.
- I'M GOIN'-- I'M TRYIN'
FOR IT, BUDDY.

- I REALLY AM.
- JUST ANYBODY WIN BUT RIDDLE.

I'M SAYING, IF I EVER HAD
A HALF-ASS CHANCE,

I WOULDN'T STICK
THE LITTLE SON OF A BITCH.

SEE YOU LATER, BUDDY.

DAD, I NEVER THOUGHT
I'D EVER LIKE WILD WILLIE,

BUT HE TURNED OUT TO BE
A HELL OF A NICE GUY.
I LIKE HIM.

HE'S A GOOD GUY, AND I GOTTA
GIVE HIM PROPS, YOU KNOW?

SOMEBODY WITH A-- YOU KNOW,
A DISABILITY LIKE HIS,

HE GETS OUT THERE
AND KICKS THE SHIT OUT
OF 'EM CARS. HE'S GOOD.

HE GOT A GOOD NICKNAME.
I KNOW THAT.

- Sammy: IT FITS HIM THOUGH!
- YEAH, IT DOES.

WILD WILLIE.
THAT'S RIGHT.

- SHOULD I HIT IT?
- YEAH, HIT IT.

JIMMY, THERE'S ONLY
ONE THING WRONG WITH THIS CAR.

- YOU.
- YEAH, IT AIN'T RUNNIN'.

- ( all laugh )
- GIVE ME ABOUT
TWO SECONDS.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

I BUILT THE SON OF A BITCH,
SO IT BETTER START.

HEY, UNCLE SAMMY, THIS IS
JUST LIKE ALL YOUR OTHER CARS.

I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS.
( laughing )

Billy:
KEEPS RAINING LIKE THIS,

THERE AIN'T GONNA
BE NO RACING.

EVERYBODY'S WANTING TO
TAKE ME OUT AND WHOOP ME.

( laughs )

YOU NEED TO KEEP
YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

YOU NEED TO STAY HOME,
STAY IN THE TRAILER,

QUIT RUNNING AROUND THE PITS,
AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

RIGHT NOW
EVERYBODY HATES YOU.

EAT IT UP.
MORE HATRED.

- WHAT SHOULD I DO?
- RIGHT NOW, JUST TRY TO
FINISH THE RACE

WITHOUT SOMEBODY TAKIN' YOU OUT
AND WRECKIN' YOUR CAR.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT
WILD WILLIE, YEAH.
RUB A BUMPER WITH HIM,

HE'S GONNA TAKE YOU OUT.
YOU CAN'T TOUCH HIM.

YEAH, WILD WILLIE'S
WOMAN IS WANTIN' TO
KILL YOU TOO, BUT--

SEE, THAT'S THE PROBLEM
OUT AT THE RACETRACK.

IF THE WOMEN WOULD JUST
STAY OUT OF IT,

LET THE GUYS TAKE IT
OUT ON THE TRACK,

WE'D HAVE A LOT LESS
FIGHTS IN THE PITS.

MAYBE I WON'T GET MY ASS
WHIPPED OR MY CAR DESTROYED

IF THIS RAIN
KEEPS UP THOUGH.

I MIGHT NOT HAVE NOTHIN'
TO WORRY ABOUT...

TILL THE FOLLOWING WEEK.

MAYBE THEY'LL ALL
SLEEP ON IT BY THEN.

( country western music
playing )

SAMMY,
WHAT'S HAPPENING?

HI, BILLY RIDDLE.
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

I NEVER REALLY MET YOU.

I MET THE FRONT
OF YOUR CAR.

SOMEBODY DIRTY DRIVES ME,
I'VE BEEN KNOWN

- TO GO ACROSS TRACK,
GET 'EM BACK.
- RIGHT.

WELL, I HOPE YOU DON'T
GIVE ME PAIN, 'CAUSE...

- I WON'T.
- ...I REALLY APOLOGIZE.

BILLY RIDDLE COME OVER
AND APOLOGIZE A WHILE AGO

- FOR TRASHING
MY CAR OUT.
- HE DID?

- YEAH.
- THAT'S NICE OF HIM.

I WARNED HIM, I TOLD HIM.
I SAID, "GO OVER THERE
AND ASK WILD WILLIE."

SAID, "YOU TRASH MY CAR
OR STICK ME IN THE WALL,

I WILL GET YOUR
FUCKIN' ASS IF I GOTTA GET
IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S CAR."

TAKE HIS ASS TO
THE FUCKIN' WALL TONIGHT.

OH, HE STICKS ME,
HE WILL.

YOU KNOW I WILL.

YOU CAN TRY TO TAKE
THE CAR OUT TONIGHT,

'CAUSE BILLY'S
GOT EVERYBODY PISSED OFF.

THAT'S WHAT THEY DO JUST TO
WIN DAMN POINTS AROUND HERE.

THEY CAN'T WIN 'EM
FAIR AND SQUARE.

Jacqueline:
HE OUGHT TO APOLOGIZE.

I SWEAR TO GOD, HE OUGHT
TO GET DOWN IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE TRACK

ON THE MICROPHONE
AND APOLOGIZE IN FRONT
OF ALL THESE PEOPLE

FOR MAKING FUN OF ANYBODY
THAT'S HANDICAPPED.

PERIOD.

THAT AFFECTED EVERY
HANDICAPPED PERSON
THAT WATCHES THIS TRACK.

( patriotic music
playing )

Man:
THIS IS ONE
OF THOSE NIGHTS

THAT GIVES RACING
PROMOTERS GREY HAIR.

MISTY RAIN THAT DOESN'T
SHOW UP ON THE RADAR--

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHEN IT'S GOING TO STOP.

WELL, IF IT KEEPS RAINING,

YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF CHANCE
OF TEARING YOUR CAR UP

AND ALSO HURTING YOURSELF
OR HURTING SOMEBODY.

YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE THAT CAR'S
LIKE A BULLET ON WET WATER.

YOU THINK IT'S GONNA STOP?

YEAH, IT FEELS LIKE
IT'S SLOWING DOWN NOW.

Willie:
HEY, WATCH THAT
GODDAMN WATER OUT THERE.

- IT'LL BE SLICK.
- I'M JUST RIGHT NOW
GOING OUT THERE

- HELP THEM DRY A LITTLE BIT.
- Willie: YEAH, WATCH YOURSELF.

I DON'T LIKE
RACING IN THE RAIN.

IT MAKES ME NERVOUS.
THE TRACK'S SO SLICK.

REMEMBER THAT WRECK
WE HAD LAST NIGHT?

THIS IS
WHAT'S LEFT OF IT.

THEY HAD TO CUT HIM OUT

BECAUSE HE SAID
HE TRIED TO GET OUT

AND, UH,
HE NEVER GOT OUT.

I EVEN HIT HIM IN THE FRONT
AFTER HE HIT THE BARRELS AND
KNOCKED HIM ON AROUND.

IT SCARED ME.

HE HIT THEM BARRELS
AND I'D LIKE TO PEE
MY PANTS.

I MEAN, TO LOOK AT IT,
WHO'D EVEN THINK
ANYBODY LIVED?

Willie:
THIS IS THE DRIVER
OF IT, TIMMY NICKERSON.

- ( groans )
- ( Willie chuckles )
HE'S HURT REAL BAD.

HE'S KIND OF HURTING
PRETTY GOOD.

THE GOOD THING
ABOUT IT IS THE CAGE
THAT SURROUNDS HIM

KEPT HIM ALIVE.

I FELT HER HIT ME
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN
SHE JUST STARTED PUSHING ME

AND JUST SHOVED ME
RIGHT INTO THEM BARRELS.

I HAD MY WHEEL
TURNED TO LEFT AS FAR
AS I CAN GO,

AND IT JUST WENT
STRAIGHT INTO THE BARRELS.

AND AFTER I HIT--
THAT FIRST IMPACT--

I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
AFTER THAT.

THIS IS HIS MOTHER, YEAH.

- YEAH, THAT'S TIMMY'S MOTHER.
- IT WAS A VERY SCARY TIME.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE
HOW I WAS FEELING LAST NIGHT

'CAUSE I COULDN'T
GET DOWN THERE TO HIM.

WHEN I LOOKED
AT THAT, I STOPPED.
I WAS COMING UP THIS ROAD

AND I LOOKED AT THAT
AND I DIDN'T WANT TO LOOK

AT IT NO MORE 'CAUSE
MY SON WAS IN THERE.

SECOND TIME THIS SEASON
I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE RIGHT
SIDE OF THE CAR.

EVERYBODY ELSE
JUST HAD THE MONEY
TO DUMP IN THEIR CAR

TO MAKE THEM FASTER
THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE.

- Steven tompkins: HEY, DAD.
- WHAT, SON?

WENT OUT.
- HUH?

YOUR TRAINING WENT OUT?
HANG ON, BUBBA.

ALL THE KIDS LOVE IT.

YOUR TRAINING.

( grunts )

STAY OUT OF THE ROAD

OR I'LL DISASSEMBLE IT.
OKAY?

- OKAY, THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME, BUDDY.

( dog barking )

( Steven crying )
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO LEAVE.

COME ON, MAN.
STOP IT, MAN.
COME ON.

- I DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE.
- OH, COME ON.

BUBBA, WE NEVER
GO NOWHERE.

( crying )
I DON'T WANT
TO BE BY MYSELF.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA
BE BY YOURSELF, BUBBA.
TYLER IS HERE.

- NO.
- YOUR BROTHERS
ARE THERE.

- Man: CRYBABY.
- ( crying continues )

- I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
- Steven: NO, YOU WON'T!

- STEVEN!
- ( crying )

DADDY!

DADDY!

( Shauna chuckles )
OH MY LORD.

I'VE NEVER HEARD HIM
