1
00:02:08,231 --> 00:02:12,590
Welcome to the Daytona 500,
the Superbowl of motor racing.
2
00:02:12,751 --> 00:02:18,350
Walking onto the grid
is two-time champion Rowdy Burns.
3
00:02:18,549 --> 00:02:24,789
A contender from Pennsylvania,
Aldo Bennedetti.
4
00:02:40,988 --> 00:02:44,187
Gentlemen, start your engines.
5
00:03:24,743 --> 00:03:30,262
Number 43, Richard Petty,
spins to the inside of the track.
6
00:03:32,782 --> 00:03:34,903
Richard Petty is out
of the Daytona 500.
7
00:03:35,102 --> 00:03:38,862
Speaking of people out of the race,
remember Harry Hogge?
8
00:03:39,022 --> 00:03:45,421
His driver, Buddy Bretherton, died
here last year in a fiery crash.
9
00:03:48,541 --> 00:03:51,420
- You're enjoying the good life.
- Yeah.
10
00:03:51,621 --> 00:03:55,540
I never minded spreading a little
fertilizer around now and then.
11
00:03:55,700 --> 00:03:59,059
- How's the truck running?
- Good.
12
00:03:59,220 --> 00:04:03,739
I want you to build me a car.
13
00:04:08,419 --> 00:04:13,179
Everybody knows some car dealer
who can't afford a race team.
14
00:04:13,378 --> 00:04:15,938
No driver will sign with you.
15
00:04:16,098 --> 00:04:20,538
If they wreck one car, you can't
afford to build them another.
16
00:04:20,737 --> 00:04:24,938
No car's going to win without
a driver ... not even mine.
17
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:28,297
If you built the car,
I'd get a damn driver.
18
00:04:32,097 --> 00:04:38,936
What kind of driver are you going
to find after the season's started?
19
00:04:39,136 --> 00:04:43,736
You can work with him. You can
build a driver like you build a car.
20
00:04:43,896 --> 00:04:48,016
That hound is the best
coon dog I've ever seen.
21
00:04:48,175 --> 00:04:52,255
- And I didn't teach him a thing.
- I've got somebody.
22
00:04:52,414 --> 00:04:56,534
- Take a look at him.
- He doesn't sound like somebody.
23
00:04:56,734 --> 00:05:00,734
Then take a look at nobody.
24
00:05:00,894 --> 00:05:06,733
- Tim, I gave up racing.
- You didn't give up racing.
25
00:05:06,934 --> 00:05:13,613
You quit to avoid an investigation
into Buddy's crash at Daytona.
26
00:05:14,932 --> 00:05:19,693
I talked to NASCAR. If you come back
there won't be an investigation.
27
00:05:19,852 --> 00:05:22,812
- How did you sell them that deal?
- I'm a hell of a salesman.
28
00:05:28,651 --> 00:05:31,851
Now that's a race car driver.
29
00:05:32,971 --> 00:05:36,411
When's your driver due?
30
00:05:39,050 --> 00:05:43,130
- Your guy runs those Indy types.
- Sprints, mainly.
31
00:05:43,289 --> 00:05:49,809
Two championships, three all-star
wins, seven straight feature wins.
32
00:05:51,609 --> 00:05:56,289
He's a real statistician.
Does he know anything about drivers?
33
00:06:01,688 --> 00:06:06,207
- Harry, where's your driver from?
- Eagle Rock.
34
00:06:06,367 --> 00:06:11,687
- Is that up around Wilkesboro?
- No. Glendale, California.
35
00:06:11,847 --> 00:06:16,447
- He's a Yankee?
- Californians aren't Yankees.
36
00:06:16,607 --> 00:06:21,526
- They're not really anything.
- You said it.
37
00:06:35,725 --> 00:06:40,084
The shocks are right, we're
dialed in. Don't change a thing.
38
00:06:42,164 --> 00:06:48,244
- Hey, you're looking pretty good.
- You're the one looking good.
39
00:06:48,404 --> 00:06:53,243
It hasn't been easy, Harry,
but this bitch is ready to run.
40
00:06:53,403 --> 00:06:58,322
We appreciate you letting us
use the car, Rowdy.
41
00:06:59,363 --> 00:07:04,122
I told you. Harry's got a new driver
and he needs a car for a few laps.
42
00:07:04,322 --> 00:07:08,002
Harry Hogge asked us personally
as a favor.
43
00:07:12,921 --> 00:07:16,441
Who is this driver?.
44
00:07:44,998 --> 00:07:49,757
Tim tells me
you've been running open wheels.
45
00:07:49,958 --> 00:07:54,398
Now you just want
to up and drive NASCAR?
46
00:07:54,597 --> 00:07:59,997
- This is stock car racing.
- I've watched it on television.
47
00:08:00,157 --> 00:08:06,316
- You've seen it on television?
- ESPN, the coverage is excellent.
48
00:08:06,476 --> 00:08:11,315
This may not be the best time
for you to run this car.
49
00:08:11,476 --> 00:08:16,075
- Is there some problem?
- No, sir.
50
00:08:16,275 --> 00:08:20,634
You bend this bitch,
and I'll tear your balls off.
51
00:08:29,953 --> 00:08:34,154
Would you mind very much
holding on to this?
52
00:08:34,313 --> 00:08:38,153
Didn't you hear what that man said?
53
00:08:40,232 --> 00:08:46,992
- Hold on, we ought to talk.
- About how I'm going to run?
54
00:08:47,152 --> 00:08:52,512
About how you've managed to live
so long. You ain't racing this car.
55
00:09:00,271 --> 00:09:04,711
What's going on?
You said you'd look at him.
56
00:09:04,871 --> 00:09:08,630
- I've looked at him.
- I paid $2,500 to use this track.
57
00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:15,109
- Forget it. He needs a brand name.
- I know a driver when I see one.
58
00:09:16,390 --> 00:09:22,468
- Harry, is this happening or what?
- Do us all a favor, Harry.
59
00:09:28,708 --> 00:09:33,548
Let me drive.
I won't make a fool out of you.
60
00:09:40,267 --> 00:09:44,467
That tunnel turn is real tricky.
Hot or cold, it's slick.
61
00:09:44,667 --> 00:09:49,786
You'll slam into the wall
before you know it. So take it easy.
62
00:10:00,105 --> 00:10:04,304
- I'm dropping the hammer.
- No, you're not.
63
00:10:35,741 --> 00:10:40,181
- it's under Rowdy's time.
- He should've cracked up the car.
64
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:58,379
- That was fast.
- Yeah?
65
00:10:58,580 --> 00:11:03,579
31 flat. That's good enough to take
the pole in the last race here.
66
00:11:06,539 --> 00:11:12,058
- You never drove a stock car?.
- No, sprints mainly.
67
00:11:12,258 --> 00:11:17,378
- Buck Bretherton.
- Cole Trickle, nice to meet you.
68
00:11:17,537 --> 00:11:21,898
You were one lucky son of a bitch
in the tunnel turn.
69
00:11:22,057 --> 00:11:25,657
If you think it was luck,
let's do it again.
70
00:11:25,857 --> 00:11:27,816
You run good.
71
00:11:28,017 --> 00:11:32,376
Go get your own car
and we'll see how you do in a crowd.
72
00:11:34,096 --> 00:11:39,016
- What's wrong with open wheels?
- I lost my ride.
73
00:11:39,176 --> 00:11:43,215
After all those wins,
you were fired?
74
00:11:43,375 --> 00:11:49,695
I lost my ride. I'd have quit
regardless. I wasn't going anywhere.
75
00:11:49,894 --> 00:11:53,654
- Where do you want to go?
- Indianapolis.
76
00:11:53,854 --> 00:11:59,133
To win in Indy I'd need a great car,
but stock cars are all the same.
77
00:11:59,294 --> 00:12:02,893
There's nothing stock
about a stock car.
78
00:12:03,093 --> 00:12:08,093
I'm not trying to insult you, but
stock cars are built to run equal.
79
00:12:08,292 --> 00:12:15,052
- I won't be beaten by a car.
- Only by a driver.
80
00:12:16,532 --> 00:12:19,892
You build me a car,
and I'll win Daytona next year.
81
00:12:24,891 --> 00:12:29,410
I'm going to give you an engine
low to the ground.
82
00:12:29,570 --> 00:12:33,690
An extra-big oil pan
that'll cut the wind underneath you.
83
00:12:33,850 --> 00:12:38,970
That'll give you
30-40 more horsepower.
84
00:12:39,129 --> 00:12:44,209
I'll give you a fuel line
that'll hold an extra gallon of gas.
85
00:12:44,369 --> 00:12:48,328
I'll shave half an inch off you
and shape you like a bullet.
86
00:12:48,489 --> 00:12:52,368
When I get you primed,
painted and weighed ...
87
00:12:52,529 --> 00:12:59,088
...you're going to be ready
to go out on that racetrack.
88
00:12:59,248 --> 00:13:02,528
You're going to be perfect.
89
00:14:10,801 --> 00:14:13,760
I'm going to pull
this rookie's chain.
90
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,880
- Cole, you're all over the track.
- He just slammed into me.
91
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:28,679
He didn't slam you or bump you.
He rubbed you. Rubbing is racing.
92
00:14:36,678 --> 00:14:40,198
There goes the fender.
93
00:14:42,358 --> 00:14:45,798
There goes the quarter panel.
94
00:15:11,755 --> 00:15:17,434
While we're still under a caution,
go out and hit the pace car.
95
00:15:17,635 --> 00:15:21,594
Hit the pace car?. What for?.
96
00:15:21,754 --> 00:15:27,993
You hit every other damn thing
out there. I want you to be perfect.
97
00:15:42,792 --> 00:15:44,752
You're too high.
98
00:16:05,110 --> 00:16:08,709
How about that?
This side we don't have to fix.
99
00:16:11,949 --> 00:16:15,229
I don't want you spoiled, Buck.
100
00:16:30,387 --> 00:16:32,667
This is gonna hurt.
101
00:16:37,347 --> 00:16:39,986
Did you see that guy?.
102
00:16:51,825 --> 00:16:56,025
- I've got to pit.
- No, we're busy now.
103
00:16:56,185 --> 00:17:00,144
- We're eating ice cream.
- Ice cream!
104
00:17:10,944 --> 00:17:15,543
You can come in and get one,
but it wouldn't impress NASCAR.
105
00:17:15,743 --> 00:17:20,422
You have enough trouble
riding around the track as it is.
106
00:17:33,661 --> 00:17:35,941
Take it easy.
107
00:17:36,141 --> 00:17:39,181
Come on now, Cole!
108
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:52,259
We messed up big-time on Sunday.
I had sponsors in the stands.
109
00:17:52,419 --> 00:17:58,099
I was hugging and holding hands
and praying for a good showing.
110
00:17:58,259 --> 00:18:03,098
And we end up looking like
a monkey fucking a football.
111
00:18:05,379 --> 00:18:11,057
Everybody out, please ...
except you two.
112
00:18:18,177 --> 00:18:23,856
I've got a question: What is the one
thing you need to do to win a race?
113
00:18:24,056 --> 00:18:28,176
- it's pretty obvious ...
- Quiet! You must finish the race.
114
00:18:28,336 --> 00:18:32,616
I realize that Harry's
been around a long time.
115
00:18:32,816 --> 00:18:37,255
But I need a proper car
that doesn't blow engines.
116
00:18:37,415 --> 00:18:41,494
If he didn't over-rev the engine,
it wouldn't blow.
117
00:18:41,655 --> 00:18:44,494
When you shift the gear, -
118
00:18:44,654 --> 00:18:51,134
- and the needle on the tach
reads 9,000 rpm, that's bad.
119
00:18:52,854 --> 00:18:57,213
- The tires blow, is that my fault?
- Yes, it's your fault.
120
00:18:57,374 --> 00:19:00,812
There's 40 other drivers out there
who don't use up their tires.
121
00:19:01,013 --> 00:19:05,293
There's nothing I can't do
with a race car.
122
00:19:05,453 --> 00:19:08,972
- There's only so much I can do!
- That's obvious.
123
00:19:09,132 --> 00:19:12,652
He doesn't need
to appreciate your job to do his.
124
00:19:12,852 --> 00:19:16,811
He has to know
what a car can and can't do!
125
00:19:16,972 --> 00:19:21,731
You want me to work the pit
and you drive?
126
00:19:23,050 --> 00:19:26,330
I can't talk to this son of a bitch.
127
00:19:28,010 --> 00:19:32,290
I can't talk to that son of a bitch.
I really can't.
128
00:19:36,369 --> 00:19:39,489
- You think he can drive?
- He can drive.
129
00:19:39,689 --> 00:19:42,969
He can drive
beyond the limits of the car!
130
00:19:43,129 --> 00:19:46,248
If he'd listen to me,
we'd never lose a race.
131
00:19:48,728 --> 00:19:53,808
If we don't get a sponsor soon,
my ass is fried.
132
00:19:56,807 --> 00:20:00,328
I'm liable to be out
of the car business all together.
133
00:20:00,487 --> 00:20:04,606
Harry, I know you're great.
You know you're great.
134
00:20:04,767 --> 00:20:09,526
But if the driver doesn't trust you,
we're never going to win a race.
135
00:20:21,965 --> 00:20:25,005
Hey, Harry.
136
00:20:28,685 --> 00:20:33,924
- We've got to talk.
- All right, talk.
137
00:20:34,083 --> 00:20:37,044
On the radio during the race ...
138
00:20:37,243 --> 00:20:42,083
You've got to tell us
what's going on with the car.
139
00:20:42,283 --> 00:20:45,083
You want to change the way I drive.
140
00:20:45,243 --> 00:20:48,443
Set up the car
so I don't have to change.
141
00:20:48,603 --> 00:20:52,282
- Tell me how.
- What do you want to know?.
142
00:20:52,443 --> 00:20:55,402
Is she running loose or tight?
143
00:20:55,602 --> 00:21:00,201
A turn here, take some wedge out,
we'll win some races.
144
00:21:00,402 --> 00:21:06,401
I can't do that. I don't know
what the hell you're talking about.
145
00:21:06,561 --> 00:21:09,920
How do you mean that?
146
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:22,999
- I don't know much about cars.
- Neither does any other driver.
147
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,038
No, I really don't know.
A turn here? A wedge there?
148
00:21:27,199 --> 00:21:30,478
- I don't know.
- How can that be?
149
00:21:30,638 --> 00:21:34,758
They told me
to get in a car and drive.
150
00:21:35,878 --> 00:21:42,117
I'd like to help out, but I can't.
I don't have the vocabulary.
151
00:21:46,076 --> 00:21:53,156
Well ... we're just going
to have to figure one out.
152
00:21:55,836 --> 00:22:00,675
Don't worry about it.
All right?
153
00:22:02,155 --> 00:22:05,435
How does she feel?
154
00:22:05,635 --> 00:22:12,034
- Her ass is all over the place.
- Her rear end is loose.
155
00:22:12,194 --> 00:22:16,234
"Loose" is fast, and "on the edge"
is out of control.
156
00:22:19,234 --> 00:22:23,593
Cole, there is something else.
157
00:22:23,793 --> 00:22:29,633
- Tires is what wins a race.
- What are you talking about?
158
00:22:29,793 --> 00:22:34,912
If you can't run without melting
the tires, we can't finish a race.
159
00:22:35,072 --> 00:22:38,352
What do you want?
160
00:22:38,512 --> 00:22:42,631
Run 50 laps any way you like,
then 50 laps like I want you to.
161
00:22:42,832 --> 00:22:47,271
Give me an honest run.
If you do, I'll beat you.
162
00:23:01,030 --> 00:23:04,869
Now we're going to do it
50 laps my way.
163
00:23:05,029 --> 00:23:09,549
When you were racing Indy cars,
the tires were twice as wide -
164
00:23:09,709 --> 00:23:15,228
- and the car weighed half as much.
Now it's the opposite.
165
00:23:15,428 --> 00:23:20,348
You're burning them up.
They melt and get greasy.
166
00:23:20,508 --> 00:23:26,028
You slip and slide
and you're out of control. Let's go!
167
00:23:40,386 --> 00:23:44,266
His way, my way.
I was six seconds faster.
168
00:23:44,426 --> 00:23:48,465
You can buy me some lunch
at the highway joint.
169
00:24:02,624 --> 00:24:06,303
- What's wrong?
- We're figuring out what to do.
170
00:24:07,584 --> 00:24:10,623
- About what?
- We're in trouble.
171
00:24:10,823 --> 00:24:16,182
Rowdy took the pole in 30:25.
We're almost a second off the pace.
172
00:24:16,343 --> 00:24:20,022
We're looking for some speed.
173
00:24:21,222 --> 00:24:24,661
The car's perfect, Harry.
174
00:24:33,661 --> 00:24:39,740
it's the first race of the season at
Darlington International Speedway.
175
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:44,980
You're running 12th.
30 laps to go.
176
00:24:56,778 --> 00:25:02,538
- You're going to burn the tires.
- Everybody else slowed down.
177
00:25:02,698 --> 00:25:07,378
He's right. Check his lap times.
Everybody else has fallen off.
178
00:25:07,538 --> 00:25:13,697
You're doing good, Cole.
You're gaining on the leader.
179
00:25:17,497 --> 00:25:20,096
15 to go.
180
00:25:22,216 --> 00:25:25,016
Don't pass
on the outside of turn four.
181
00:25:26,816 --> 00:25:30,176
Stay to the inside.
Ten laps to go.
182
00:25:33,815 --> 00:25:37,174
Trickle is right behind Rowdy Burns.
183
00:25:37,375 --> 00:25:42,375
- I'm right behind the leader.
- Five laps to go.
184
00:25:44,374 --> 00:25:47,974
- Remember me?
- What the hell's going on?
185
00:25:48,134 --> 00:25:51,173
Just a little rubbing.
Rubbing's racing.
186
00:25:57,133 --> 00:26:00,572
I'm going to take this rookie
once and for all.
187
00:26:04,452 --> 00:26:09,372
That's enough!
You can't play with Rowdy like this.
188
00:26:09,571 --> 00:26:12,011
Relax, Harry.
189
00:26:14,171 --> 00:26:17,451
Rowdy Burns is out!
190
00:26:17,650 --> 00:26:21,930
No! An incredible recovery by Rowdy.
191
00:26:22,090 --> 00:26:27,290
We have a new leader.
Cole Trickle in number 46.
192
00:26:27,450 --> 00:26:30,729
We're under caution
with three laps to go.
193
00:26:30,890 --> 00:26:34,009
- Come on in.
- What for?. it's almost over.
194
00:26:34,209 --> 00:26:37,649
You've done 68 laps.
Everybody's got to pit, Cole.
195
00:26:47,888 --> 00:26:50,408
Go, go!
196
00:26:50,567 --> 00:26:54,567
The air gun's jammed,
get me another one.
197
00:26:57,727 --> 00:27:01,006
Let's go!
198
00:27:05,046 --> 00:27:07,005
Damn it! Go! Go!
199
00:27:07,166 --> 00:27:10,006
Get them on quick!
200
00:27:17,885 --> 00:27:22,804
- Son of a bitch!
- Now, Cole ...
201
00:27:27,204 --> 00:27:30,244
- Son of a bitch!
- We're on the air, all right?
202
00:27:30,444 --> 00:27:34,564
I was in first place. Now I'm
in third with two laps to go.
203
00:27:34,763 --> 00:27:40,123
Don't get excited.
Third place is pretty respectable.
204
00:27:40,283 --> 00:27:45,442
Going into turn four,
drive right by him on the outside.
205
00:27:45,602 --> 00:27:48,962
Nobody goes to the outside
on turn four.
206
00:27:49,162 --> 00:27:55,402
- You can hold it.
- He's going to end up in the wall.
207
00:27:55,601 --> 00:28:00,601
The pace car is about to go off.
We don't have time to talk.
208
00:28:00,761 --> 00:28:04,760
- We've got a good set of tires on.
- What?
209
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,960
- Those tires are matched perfect.
- You're going to get him killed.
210
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:14,279
If you go to the outside,
you can hold it.
211
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,559
All right.
212
00:28:24,238 --> 00:28:28,118
The white flag is out.
One lap to go.
213
00:28:43,876 --> 00:28:47,476
The boy don't have the balls
to pass me on the outside.
214
00:28:47,636 --> 00:28:51,836
They're heading into
treacherous turn four.
215
00:29:15,914 --> 00:29:19,873
Cole Trickle wins his first ever
NASCAR victory.
216
00:29:20,034 --> 00:29:23,993
Second place goes to Rowdy Burns.
217
00:29:32,312 --> 00:29:38,071
On that last turn, did you know you
could make the car stick like that?
218
00:29:38,272 --> 00:29:43,791
I knew it all along.
Harry put on special tires.
219
00:29:43,951 --> 00:29:49,111
- What's special about them?
- Nothing in particular.
220
00:29:50,950 --> 00:29:54,629
- You told me ...
- I had to calm you down.
221
00:29:54,830 --> 00:29:59,189
You were acting like such
a candy-ass when the air gun stuck.
222
00:30:04,309 --> 00:30:08,748
Try this on for size.
We've got ourselves a sponsor.
223
00:30:13,028 --> 00:30:19,027
Promise me that whatever else we do
from here, we win Daytona.
224
00:30:19,187 --> 00:30:22,147
That's a promise.
225
00:30:27,266 --> 00:30:33,346
Selling useless mining stock
is called a dog and pony show.
226
00:30:33,506 --> 00:30:39,345
It may be funny, but it's not that
funny when it happens to you.
227
00:30:39,546 --> 00:30:44,944
- It happened to me.
- You bought worthless stock?.
228
00:30:45,105 --> 00:30:49,464
I told you I lost my ride.
That's how I lost it.
229
00:30:49,664 --> 00:30:54,104
Team owner was a conman
selling junk bonds.
230
00:30:54,264 --> 00:30:57,703
But mainly he sold stolen yachts.
231
00:30:57,863 --> 00:31:01,463
After I won, he used my name
to promote the sales.
232
00:31:01,623 --> 00:31:05,983
He went to jail
and I lost my ride.
233
00:31:07,663 --> 00:31:12,862
- It was pretty humiliating.
- Hell, don't be embarrassed.
234
00:31:13,022 --> 00:31:17,461
Some lowlife piece of trash
put you in a bad position.
235
00:31:17,662 --> 00:31:24,661
That depends on whether you're
related to that piece of trash.
236
00:31:25,741 --> 00:31:28,860
He was my father.
237
00:31:29,021 --> 00:31:33,461
I've never really
stuck with anything since.
238
00:31:33,621 --> 00:31:39,380
They don't trust me,
and I don't trust them.
239
00:31:39,539 --> 00:31:42,899
Like for instance ...
240
00:31:43,060 --> 00:31:47,819
You lied to me today. It was
dumb-luck I didn't end up crashed.
241
00:31:47,979 --> 00:31:52,898
- I ought to punch you out.
- Yeah? Give it a try.
242
00:31:56,258 --> 00:31:58,698
No.
243
00:31:58,858 --> 00:32:03,618
I wouldn't want my ass kicked
by a 60-year-old man.
244
00:32:03,817 --> 00:32:06,097
59.
245
00:32:18,696 --> 00:32:23,615
Drivers just don't go
to the outside like that.
246
00:32:23,776 --> 00:32:29,615
I knew you could do it.
I believed it in my heart.
247
00:32:33,695 --> 00:32:36,494
- Peach or cherry?.
- Cherry.
248
00:32:39,814 --> 00:32:43,173
I need a leak.
249
00:32:43,374 --> 00:32:47,733
There's calculating drivers,
and then there's kamikaze drivers.
250
00:32:47,893 --> 00:32:54,052
Cole here's a kamikaze,
like my pappy was. Buddy Bretherton.
251
00:32:54,253 --> 00:32:58,612
Buddy Bretherton was your dad?
252
00:32:58,812 --> 00:33:02,492
- He died at Daytona.
- Last year.
253
00:33:02,692 --> 00:33:06,211
- How did it happen?
- He hit the wall.
254
00:33:06,371 --> 00:33:12,211
He was probably dead before that.
The coroner reported a heart attack.
255
00:33:26,529 --> 00:33:29,489
We've been pulled over.
256
00:33:33,049 --> 00:33:38,888
Everybody out and up against
the wall. You're under arrest.
257
00:33:40,168 --> 00:33:42,888
- What the hell for?.
- That.
258
00:33:43,048 --> 00:33:47,567
Transportation of alcohol
for the purpose of distribution.
259
00:33:47,728 --> 00:33:51,727
This is not distribution,
this is consumption.
260
00:33:51,887 --> 00:33:58,206
That doesn't make it legal.
Up against the wall.
261
00:34:09,645 --> 00:34:14,325
It looks like we've found something.
A concealed weapon.
262
00:34:14,524 --> 00:34:18,564
- Where?
- Right here.
263
00:34:24,284 --> 00:34:28,044
Now, the only question is:
264
00:34:32,323 --> 00:34:35,683
Will he actually use it?
265
00:34:47,321 --> 00:34:52,001
Don't be mad. Harry and the boys
thought you might like me.
266
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,520
Here we are for summer speed week
in Daytona Beach, Florida.
267
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:08,999
The favorite today is newcomer
Cole Trickle in number 46.
268
00:35:09,159 --> 00:35:14,599
He has won an unprecedented
five out of his last six races.
269
00:35:30,438 --> 00:35:34,797
Stop playing peek-a-boo
in Rowdy's rear-view mirror.
270
00:35:39,517 --> 00:35:43,876
- I'm not doing anything like that.
- Then what are you doing?
271
00:35:46,716 --> 00:35:50,395
I loosened his bumper.
I'll have to break it off.
272
00:35:50,596 --> 00:35:54,475
If his bumper goes through
your radiator, you're finished.
273
00:35:56,235 --> 00:36:00,154
Rowdy, let him go by.
274
00:36:02,514 --> 00:36:05,954
I'm going to take him
on the high side.
275
00:36:23,872 --> 00:36:30,871
- What are you worried about, Harry?.
- Great recovery, Cole.
276
00:36:38,551 --> 00:36:43,310
Trickle's right behind the number 51
car, and they'll go at it again.
277
00:36:53,229 --> 00:36:57,269
There's a crash
coming out of turn four.
278
00:37:00,868 --> 00:37:02,909
I see it.
279
00:37:32,825 --> 00:37:37,985
- I can't see anything.
- Wiggle your fingers for me.
280
00:37:38,145 --> 00:37:41,585
I can't see anything.
281
00:37:41,744 --> 00:37:44,784
I'm all right.
282
00:37:51,223 --> 00:37:55,304
- I don't need recharging.
- It's standard procedure.
283
00:37:55,463 --> 00:37:58,663
- You go screw yourself.
- What was that?
284
00:37:58,863 --> 00:38:01,823
I wouldn't tell you to do that.
285
00:38:09,262 --> 00:38:13,382
- Tell me what's going on.
- What's your name?
286
00:38:13,581 --> 00:38:19,981
- Cole.
- Cole, lie still, please.
287
00:38:21,380 --> 00:38:25,260
- CAT scan, right away.
- Yes, Doctor.
288
00:38:32,740 --> 00:38:36,939
He's had a concussion. His brain
is bruised and it's going to swell.
289
00:38:37,140 --> 00:38:40,179
That's what's affecting his vision.
290
00:38:40,379 --> 00:38:43,259
You have a concussion.
291
00:38:43,419 --> 00:38:47,378
- It will affect your vision.
- Will it go away?.
292
00:38:47,539 --> 00:38:51,378
Tell him we're running some tests.
293
00:38:51,538 --> 00:38:55,378
What did his helmet look like?
Was it cracked?
294
00:38:55,537 --> 00:38:59,417
- No.
- Was it scratched?
295
00:39:01,057 --> 00:39:04,736
Was the helmet scratched
at the front or back?.
296
00:39:04,897 --> 00:39:09,576
- The back and the front.
- Are you a brain doctor?
297
00:39:09,736 --> 00:39:13,696
Could someone talk to me?
298
00:39:15,336 --> 00:39:21,015
When I'm driving, I've got a guy
on the radio who talks to me.
299
00:39:23,655 --> 00:39:28,975
Don't worry,
we're going to take care of him.
300
00:39:55,652 --> 00:39:57,691
Harry.
301
00:39:57,852 --> 00:40:01,531
- Are you okay, Harry?.
- Yeah. Why?.
302
00:40:04,771 --> 00:40:09,210
You look all bent out of shape.
303
00:40:12,010 --> 00:40:17,689
- Hell, it's probably just my eyes.
- No, I've been here all night.
304
00:40:17,890 --> 00:40:21,809
Jesus! What are they giving me here?
305
00:40:21,969 --> 00:40:25,409
What happened?
306
00:40:25,609 --> 00:40:30,368
Rowdy was spinning across the track.
307
00:40:30,529 --> 00:40:34,568
The rule is, go straight for them.
308
00:40:34,768 --> 00:40:38,967
So I never took my foot off the gas.
309
00:40:39,168 --> 00:40:45,247
He should have been gone by the time
I got there ... but he wasn't.
310
00:40:45,447 --> 00:40:51,686
I think another car hit you
and knocked you into Rowdy.
311
00:40:53,686 --> 00:40:58,845
It's one of those things that never
happens. Don't even think about it.
312
00:41:02,246 --> 00:41:06,285
- I'll get the doctor.
- I feel great.
313
00:41:23,884 --> 00:41:27,482
Damn nice to see you, Cole.
314
00:41:29,682 --> 00:41:33,562
It's damn nice to see you, Buck.
315
00:41:35,882 --> 00:41:39,161
Cole, you've met Dr Lewicki.
316
00:41:43,001 --> 00:41:46,601
- That's your doctor.
- He's not actually seen me before.
317
00:41:46,801 --> 00:41:49,241
Sure, Harry.
318
00:41:50,201 --> 00:41:53,720
- No ...
- Dr Lewicki.
319
00:41:53,921 --> 00:41:59,200
Smock, stethoscope.
It's a great costume, Harry.
320
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,879
- How are you, Doc?
- This really is Dr Lewicki.
321
00:42:03,039 --> 00:42:08,479
- I was just about to go off duty.
- You came by to look me over.
322
00:42:08,679 --> 00:42:12,798
That's not a bad idea.
Is your vision restored?
323
00:42:12,999 --> 00:42:16,678
- I think so.
- Nothing's blurred?
324
00:42:16,878 --> 00:42:21,318
No haloes around objects?
Flashing lights?
325
00:42:21,478 --> 00:42:26,158
- What are you going to do now?.
- Look into your eyes.
326
00:42:26,357 --> 00:42:29,157
Doc ...
327
00:42:30,996 --> 00:42:35,516
Isn't this
what you're really looking for?.
328
00:42:37,116 --> 00:42:41,476
That's interesting enough,
but it's just not my specialty.
329
00:42:53,354 --> 00:42:59,034
- She was the real thing?
- I wouldn't be joking around here.
330
00:42:59,234 --> 00:43:02,514
Sorry, I'm trying not to smile.
331
00:43:02,673 --> 00:43:05,634
All right, get out.
332
00:43:05,794 --> 00:43:08,753
Get out of here.
333
00:43:17,352 --> 00:43:21,792
- I can walk.
- Not while you're in this hospital.
334
00:43:24,712 --> 00:43:31,471
- Can you pick up the pace a little?
- If you want drugs, see the nurse.
335
00:44:06,708 --> 00:44:09,907
Get out of the way.
336
00:44:14,867 --> 00:44:20,267
Good morning, gentlemen.
Right this way.
337
00:44:23,986 --> 00:44:28,746
Neither Mr. Burns nor Mr. Trickle
have any significant cranial injury.
338
00:44:28,945 --> 00:44:33,145
Let's have that in English.
Did they mess up their squash?
339
00:44:33,305 --> 00:44:37,344
Their brains are intact ...
as much as they ever were.
340
00:44:37,505 --> 00:44:42,264
- Do they get clearance to race?
- It's a dangerous pastime.
341
00:44:42,464 --> 00:44:47,784
- That's not a medical objection.
- They won't get clearance just yet.
342
00:44:47,944 --> 00:44:52,863
- That's total horseshit.
- Gentlemen, please ...
343
00:44:53,023 --> 00:44:57,462
I think they'd like another opinion.
We'd like to talk to your boss.
344
00:45:03,702 --> 00:45:06,142
Which is a re-evaluation
in a week or two.
345
00:45:06,302 --> 00:45:10,141
Thank you. We have something
to say to the boys in private.
346
00:45:17,861 --> 00:45:20,301
Okay, Big John's turn.
347
00:45:26,180 --> 00:45:31,420
If you want to become a greasy
spot on a country road, go ahead.
348
00:45:31,580 --> 00:45:35,019
I don't give a shit
and I don't think anybody else does.
349
00:45:35,219 --> 00:45:39,578
But you're not going to do it
on my racetrack.
350
00:45:39,779 --> 00:45:45,058
You've all heard
of Japanese inspection?
351
00:45:45,218 --> 00:45:49,658
When the Japs get a load of lettuce
they don't want in the country, -
352
00:45:49,857 --> 00:45:54,218
- they let it sit on the docks
until they get ready to look at it.
353
00:45:54,417 --> 00:45:59,657
By then it's all gone rotten.
There's nothing left to inspect.
354
00:45:59,817 --> 00:46:04,576
Lettuce is a perishable item,
like you two monkeys.
355
00:46:04,776 --> 00:46:10,216
You trade paint one more time,
I'll black flag the two of you.
356
00:46:10,376 --> 00:46:14,895
I'll take apart your race car
for inspection.
357
00:46:15,095 --> 00:46:18,855
After you've put it back together,
you can race.
358
00:46:19,015 --> 00:46:23,695
Now, as there's no hard feelings,
we're all going out to dinner.
359
00:46:23,855 --> 00:46:29,093
- I've got other plans.
- You'll have to change them.
360
00:46:29,254 --> 00:46:34,013
You two are going
to drive to dinner together.
361
00:46:40,212 --> 00:46:42,493
Dr Lewicki ...
362
00:46:42,692 --> 00:46:47,372
I want to apologize
for what happened with Cole.
363
00:46:47,532 --> 00:46:52,932
It's nothing to worry about.
It was hardly your doing.
364
00:46:53,091 --> 00:47:00,651
That's just it, it was. Not long
ago, we played a trick on Cole.
365
00:47:00,811 --> 00:47:05,010
We dressed up a pretty girl
in a highway-patrol uniform.
366
00:47:05,170 --> 00:47:10,690
We told her to get real ornery
with him and she did.
367
00:47:10,850 --> 00:47:15,290
- You mean ..?
- I mean real ornery.
368
00:47:15,489 --> 00:47:22,168
- Why do you want me to know this?
- Don't hold a bad opinion of Cole.
369
00:47:22,328 --> 00:47:28,248
I believe it scares him. He needs
reassurance from you that he's okay.
370
00:47:28,408 --> 00:47:32,008
After all, you're his doctor.
371
00:47:36,647 --> 00:47:39,527
That's it.
372
00:47:57,485 --> 00:47:59,446
Doc ...
373
00:47:59,645 --> 00:48:05,485
I heard you thought
I was a highway-patrol officer.
374
00:48:05,684 --> 00:48:09,604
- Thank you for taking care of me.
- It's my job.
375
00:48:09,764 --> 00:48:16,284
- It's my life.
- This time let's shake hands.
376
00:48:16,444 --> 00:48:20,963
- Of course.
- Good luck, Cole.
377
00:48:27,843 --> 00:48:32,282
- Dr Lewicki, could I see you?
- You will, I promise.
378
00:48:32,482 --> 00:48:37,682
I mean have some dinner,
I'll take you to a race.
379
00:48:37,842 --> 00:48:43,161
That's very sweet, but it won't get
you back on the track any faster.
380
00:48:43,321 --> 00:48:45,280
No ...
381
00:48:45,481 --> 00:48:48,920
It's not what I meant.
382
00:49:10,638 --> 00:49:13,998
- Now what?
- Here's how I see this deal ...
383
00:49:14,198 --> 00:49:19,877
Neither of us is going to let
the other drive this car to dinner.
384
00:49:20,037 --> 00:49:25,036
- There's only one way to settle it.
- What are you talking about?
385
00:49:28,397 --> 00:49:31,276
Absolutely.
386
00:50:08,633 --> 00:50:15,232
Let me tell you something. If you
can't control your race drivers ...
387
00:50:17,072 --> 00:50:19,872
Stick to something you can control.
388
00:50:22,151 --> 00:50:26,511
Like used cars
in downtown Charlotte.
389
00:50:46,389 --> 00:50:49,509
- Too close to call?
- Yeah.
390
00:51:00,188 --> 00:51:05,267
- You're late.
- We had car trouble.
391
00:51:05,428 --> 00:51:12,186
- What kind of car trouble?
- I believe it was the radiator.
392
00:51:12,346 --> 00:51:16,106
Yes, Rowdy, I believe it was.
393
00:51:23,265 --> 00:51:25,625
Do you know anybody
at Daytona Memorial?
394
00:51:25,785 --> 00:51:29,905
- The chief of staff.
- Is he a race fan?
395
00:51:30,105 --> 00:51:34,944
Russ Wheeler is driving for us,
till you get your medical clearance.
396
00:51:35,104 --> 00:51:39,104
It's a real pleasure
to race your car, Mr. Trickle.
397
00:51:39,264 --> 00:51:43,623
I need the home address
of a doctor ...
398
00:51:43,784 --> 00:51:48,863
I'm only sorry I won't be able
to drive it as good as you.
399
00:51:49,023 --> 00:51:52,863
I'll see you later, Harry.
400
00:51:53,022 --> 00:51:56,222
The doctor ...
401
00:52:00,861 --> 00:52:03,822
What?
402
00:52:18,900 --> 00:52:23,020
I was desperate
to get your attention.
403
00:52:23,219 --> 00:52:27,300
You got it.
I walked into a jungle.
404
00:52:27,459 --> 00:52:33,059
It's nicely extravagant,
but I can't. I'm a doctor on call.
405
00:52:33,218 --> 00:52:38,658
Somebody has to re-examine me.
I'll take you to a race.
406
00:52:38,819 --> 00:52:44,497
I don't want to watch you guys
chasing each other on my day off.
407
00:52:44,658 --> 00:52:47,617
How about chasing me
on your day off?
408
00:52:47,817 --> 00:52:52,416
I don't have a day off.
I'm on call 24 hours.
409
00:52:52,577 --> 00:52:56,497
- Let's suppose you had a day off.
- Sugar.
410
00:52:59,096 --> 00:53:02,056
Could I interest you
in the North Carolina countryside?
411
00:53:02,216 --> 00:53:05,575
- Speaking theoretically?.
- Speaking theoretically.
412
00:53:05,735 --> 00:53:09,015
Maybe.
You'd have to convince my boss.
413
00:53:09,175 --> 00:53:12,775
Good. How tall are you?
414
00:53:27,813 --> 00:53:32,653
- What did he say?.
- Fly to Charlotte to see the boys.
415
00:53:36,373 --> 00:53:40,412
You're very quick.
416
00:53:40,572 --> 00:53:44,772
You ought to see me drive.
417
00:53:47,051 --> 00:53:51,411
- Rowdy is not here.
- I told him to be here by five.
418
00:53:51,571 --> 00:53:56,171
We should probably get started
on Cole.
419
00:53:59,051 --> 00:54:01,890
Close your eyes. Palms up.
420
00:54:03,810 --> 00:54:07,329
Open your eyes. Arms down.
421
00:54:08,289 --> 00:54:10,889
Follow my finger.
422
00:54:24,968 --> 00:54:29,328
Stand with your feet together
and close your eyes.
423
00:54:31,327 --> 00:54:35,406
Walk one foot in front of the other.
Open your eyes.
424
00:54:37,527 --> 00:54:40,727
Back on the table.
425
00:54:46,406 --> 00:54:51,485
- This is tough.
- Examinations always are.
426
00:54:51,645 --> 00:54:54,925
I might not like what I see.
427
00:54:55,085 --> 00:55:01,084
That has to worry you. Pick a spot
on the wall and look at it.
428
00:55:04,084 --> 00:55:09,924
Please, don't move your eyes.
Just focus on one spot.
429
00:55:18,283 --> 00:55:23,042
- What do you see?
- The retina.
430
00:55:23,202 --> 00:55:27,162
What does it look like?
431
00:55:27,322 --> 00:55:31,442
Very pretty, actually.
432
00:55:37,241 --> 00:55:40,121
- Seen enough?
- Just about.
433
00:55:42,561 --> 00:55:47,760
- What did you do that for?.
- It's the Lowinski sign.
434
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:52,840
If the toe goes up, you're in
trouble. You're cleared to race.
435
00:56:10,718 --> 00:56:15,157
I'm sorry,
it just drove me nuts in there.
436
00:56:16,077 --> 00:56:21,436
- How could you ignore me like that?
- I wasn't ignoring you!
437
00:56:26,596 --> 00:56:31,435
I wasn't ignoring you.
I gave you a very thorough physical.
438
00:56:38,435 --> 00:56:42,554
- Don't do anything weird.
- I won't.
439
00:56:42,755 --> 00:56:46,034
It's something
Harry and I work on together.
440
00:56:46,194 --> 00:56:49,074
It's called draughting.
441
00:56:49,274 --> 00:56:54,554
One car tucks in behind another.
Two cars can go faster than one.
442
00:56:54,714 --> 00:56:58,473
They divide the air resistance.
443
00:56:58,673 --> 00:57:02,793
The lead car has to floor it
to hit 200 mph.
444
00:57:02,992 --> 00:57:07,832
The car behind doesn't. He can go
just as fast with power in reserve.
445
00:57:07,992 --> 00:57:11,672
When these two cars
come off that last turn, -
446
00:57:11,832 --> 00:57:16,112
- the car at the back
can move out of the draught, -
447
00:57:16,272 --> 00:57:22,031
- slingshot past the lead car
and beat it to the finish line.
448
00:57:23,271 --> 00:57:26,391
He goes straight to Victory Lane.
449
00:57:26,551 --> 00:57:33,070
- You and Harry work on that?
- More or less.
450
00:57:33,230 --> 00:57:39,469
Yeah, right. Is there anything
you want to do besides racing?
451
00:57:43,149 --> 00:57:49,828
- Anything you say.
- You must want something else ...
452
00:57:49,988 --> 00:57:53,028
...eventually.
453
00:57:54,628 --> 00:58:00,947
I can tell you what I don't want
to be in life, and that's a fraud.
454
00:58:01,147 --> 00:58:07,226
I want to know it's not just luck
that gets me round that racetrack.
455
00:58:07,427 --> 00:58:12,106
- But that's not what you're asking.
- What am I asking?
456
00:58:12,266 --> 00:58:18,786
- How can I be in bed with this guy?.
- I know the answer to that one.
457
00:58:18,946 --> 00:58:25,424
How could a brilliant brain doctor
be in bed with a racing driver?.
458
00:58:27,944 --> 00:58:32,384
What's your response to that,
by the way?.
459
00:58:32,584 --> 00:58:37,264
Do something to make me respect you.
460
00:58:37,464 --> 00:58:41,663
Tell me what you love
so much about racing.
461
00:58:41,863 --> 00:58:44,742
The speed.
462
00:58:44,902 --> 00:58:47,622
To be able to control it.
463
00:58:47,782 --> 00:58:52,782
To know that I can control
something that's out of control.
464
00:58:54,342 --> 00:58:58,702
I'd really have to show you.
465
00:58:58,901 --> 00:59:01,781
Show me.
466
00:59:21,459 --> 00:59:28,299
It's funny. When I grew up, all I
wanted to do was work on race cars.
467
00:59:28,459 --> 00:59:33,218
Now all I want to do is to make
enough money to work on a farm.
468
00:59:33,419 --> 00:59:37,857
- Hi, Claire, I'm Jennie.
- Nice to meet you.
469
00:59:43,617 --> 00:59:47,057
We're going to build
our permanent home up there.
470
00:59:47,217 --> 00:59:51,056
- Does it cost much?
- About $10 million.
471
00:59:51,217 --> 00:59:55,176
Jennie's doing the building.
She's designing the house.
472
00:59:55,336 --> 01:00:00,175
We just want a place
that no one's lived in but us.
473
01:00:03,615 --> 01:00:06,415
- What is it?
- I'm just seasick.
474
01:00:11,135 --> 01:00:14,894
You didn't forget
about the physical.
475
01:00:15,054 --> 01:00:19,334
Nobody in my family goes to a doctor
unless they're dying.
476
01:00:19,533 --> 01:00:24,453
- I'm just not feeling good.
- Stand with your feet together.
477
01:00:26,973 --> 01:00:29,933
Put your arms out.
478
01:00:30,133 --> 01:00:33,412
Close your eyes.
479
01:00:37,692 --> 01:00:43,451
Take it easy. I've got you.
480
01:00:43,651 --> 01:00:46,771
I'm fine.
481
01:00:50,611 --> 01:00:52,570
I'm fine.
482
01:00:53,810 --> 01:00:56,250
Go back to Daytona.
483
01:00:56,450 --> 01:01:02,970
The head of neurosurgery is my boss.
He's as good as they come.
484
01:01:04,969 --> 01:01:09,168
- Did you get sick in there?
- No.
485
01:01:09,329 --> 01:01:16,728
He did, he got sick.
You're one hell of a candy-ass.
486
01:01:16,888 --> 01:01:22,288
It's imperative that you get back
to Daytona and see Dr Wilhaire.
487
01:01:36,926 --> 01:01:41,446
There's another new Winston Cup team
sponsored by Hardee's.
488
01:01:41,606 --> 01:01:44,406
The driver is Russ Wheeler, -
489
01:01:44,565 --> 01:01:47,525
- the young man who subbed
so superbly for Cole Trickle.
490
01:01:47,725 --> 01:01:52,085
Listen to this horseshit.
491
01:01:52,285 --> 01:01:57,644
With these two competitive spirits,
will there be any conflict?
492
01:01:57,804 --> 01:02:03,964
We believe we can maintain the
integrity of these two race teams.
493
01:02:04,163 --> 01:02:06,803
Who will you be rooting for, Tim?
494
01:02:06,963 --> 01:02:10,963
I'll wave to Cole
every time I lap him.
495
01:02:16,922 --> 01:02:20,602
- These new tires are terrible.
- You're doing good, Cole.
496
01:02:20,802 --> 01:02:24,402
I'm too loose.
497
01:02:28,241 --> 01:02:33,400
- The car feels all wrong.
- Cole's upset.
498
01:02:33,561 --> 01:02:38,960
- What about?
- About being in that race car.
499
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:46,399
Wheeler just passed the eight car.
He's coming up on your inside.
500
01:02:54,839 --> 01:02:57,958
Jesus!
501
01:03:27,715 --> 01:03:30,515
- The engine blew.
- How?.
502
01:03:30,676 --> 01:03:33,875
I'm not a mechanic, Harry.
503
01:03:46,234 --> 01:03:50,313
I'm in Georgia.
Rowdy's in North Carolina.
504
01:03:50,473 --> 01:03:54,993
Somebody better
talk him into coming down here.
505
01:03:55,153 --> 01:04:00,912
The longer he ignores it, the more
damage will be done to his brain.
506
01:04:01,072 --> 01:04:04,832
- Where's Cole?
- He's on the phone.
507
01:04:06,152 --> 01:04:09,831
We could use a little privacy.
508
01:04:14,031 --> 01:04:19,471
- What's wrong with him?
- What's wrong is you, Tim.
509
01:04:19,631 --> 01:04:24,630
- Two race teams is one too many!
- It doesn't bother Russ Wheeler.
510
01:04:24,790 --> 01:04:31,109
No, with Cole's reputation Wheeler
knows he can bump him all he wants.
511
01:04:31,310 --> 01:04:35,589
I don't see Russ doing anything
like that, neither does NASCAR.
512
01:04:35,789 --> 01:04:40,309
It ain't happening then, under
the watchful eyes of you experts!
513
01:04:40,508 --> 01:04:43,268
I tell you what is happening:
514
01:04:43,428 --> 01:04:47,868
Cole's not running good
and now he's got sponsor trouble.
515
01:04:48,028 --> 01:04:50,387
- But you don't?
- No.
516
01:04:50,588 --> 01:04:55,867
But I want to keep the sponsor
and Cole. He made this all happen.
517
01:04:56,027 --> 01:04:58,827
Right!
518
01:05:03,267 --> 01:05:07,386
Were you on the phone with the doc?
Fighting?
519
01:05:07,586 --> 01:05:11,026
She's too busy to talk right now.
520
01:05:11,226 --> 01:05:13,505
Here's your owner, Tim Daland.
521
01:05:13,705 --> 01:05:18,545
Russ ran a great race today.
I'm very pleased.
522
01:05:18,745 --> 01:05:23,104
102 laps complete, but we're under
caution here at North Wilkesboro.
523
01:05:23,304 --> 01:05:29,544
- Cole hasn't seen Rowdy yet.
- Cole's just like any other driver.
524
01:05:29,744 --> 01:05:33,503
He doesn't want to see Rowdy.
525
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:38,743
Drivers don't like to be reminded of
what can happen to them out there.
526
01:05:38,903 --> 01:05:44,823
The only time a driver goes to a
funeral is when he's actually dead.
527
01:06:06,860 --> 01:06:11,620
- He's blocking me.
- That's right.
528
01:06:11,820 --> 01:06:15,579
Move the son of a bitch!
529
01:07:05,934 --> 01:07:07,574
Son of a bitch!
530
01:07:07,734 --> 01:07:13,054
Trickle at the bottom of the track
with both right-side tires flat.
531
01:07:13,214 --> 01:07:16,893
Wheeler takes the chequered flag.
532
01:07:22,373 --> 01:07:27,732
Wheeler doesn't deserve to win.
That's low-down shit-assed racing.
533
01:07:27,892 --> 01:07:30,932
It's just racing. Cole overreacted.
534
01:07:38,051 --> 01:07:43,291
- Change my tires.
- I don't know what for. It's over.
535
01:08:14,408 --> 01:08:18,767
There seems to be a little post-race
activity just outside the pit lane.
536
01:08:18,927 --> 01:08:22,367
You shit!
537
01:08:22,527 --> 01:08:27,526
He's destroyed both my cars!
538
01:08:27,687 --> 01:08:32,766
He's fired! You're all fired!
539
01:08:46,645 --> 01:08:52,564
- Are you heading off to Daytona?
- Where are you going from here?
540
01:08:52,725 --> 01:08:58,243
I'll take you to the airport.
I'll catch a flight to Charlotte.
541
01:09:00,404 --> 01:09:06,163
- You want me to come with you?
- What about the hospital?
542
01:09:06,963 --> 01:09:12,482
We could try to see Rowdy.
543
01:09:14,442 --> 01:09:19,442
- Is there anything wrong with that?
- Of course not.
544
01:09:19,602 --> 01:09:22,961
- I guess I forgot about that.
- Yeah, I know.
545
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,320
Let me out of the car.
546
01:09:41,319 --> 01:09:43,279
Let me out.
547
01:09:48,319 --> 01:09:53,678
- Let me out or I'm getting out.
- Hey!
548
01:09:55,358 --> 01:09:58,717
Claire! Wait.
549
01:09:58,878 --> 01:10:03,797
- Get away or I'll call the police.
- I'm not leaving until we talk.
550
01:10:03,997 --> 01:10:07,517
- I've got nothing to say.
- Well I do!
551
01:10:10,997 --> 01:10:13,036
That's it? Fine.
552
01:10:13,236 --> 01:10:17,196
You shouldn't be driving a car,
not on a road or a racetrack.
553
01:10:17,356 --> 01:10:21,716
You're selfish, you're crazy
and you're scared.
554
01:10:21,915 --> 01:10:25,195
You and Rowdy have a sickness.
It's called denial.
555
01:10:25,395 --> 01:10:29,395
And it's probably
going to kill you both.
556
01:10:32,555 --> 01:10:36,154
You want to control something
that's out of control, right?
557
01:10:36,314 --> 01:10:40,673
I'm going to let you in on a secret
that most other people know.
558
01:10:40,874 --> 01:10:45,233
Control is an illusion. Nobody knows
what's going to happen next.
559
01:10:45,393 --> 01:10:47,593
Not on a freeway, -
560
01:10:47,753 --> 01:10:52,192
- and certainly not on a racetrack
with 40 other infantile egomaniacs.
561
01:10:52,393 --> 01:10:57,312
Nobody controls anything. You've had
a glimpse of that and you're scared.
562
01:10:57,512 --> 01:11:02,272
You might not have the courage
to race anymore.
563
01:11:04,512 --> 01:11:08,191
I hate you for this.
You make me sound like a doctor.
564
01:12:01,186 --> 01:12:04,225
Jennie ...
565
01:12:04,426 --> 01:12:07,385
Why are you here?
566
01:12:08,385 --> 01:12:11,745
Where is he?
567
01:12:21,784 --> 01:12:25,863
- I hear you're out of a job.
- Yeah.
568
01:12:29,663 --> 01:12:33,262
You're not looking too good.
569
01:12:33,423 --> 01:12:37,422
- How many of these do you take?
- What did you come here for?.
570
01:12:41,062 --> 01:12:44,262
To take you to the hospital.
571
01:12:46,181 --> 01:12:50,102
If it wasn't for that woman doctor,
I'd be back on the track.
572
01:12:50,262 --> 01:12:53,941
- Is that right?
- Yeah, that's right.
573
01:12:54,141 --> 01:13:00,141
I've raced with my legs broken,
heart bruised and eyes popping out.
574
01:13:01,501 --> 01:13:06,500
This is going to go away.
I'm going to live forever, -
575
01:13:06,700 --> 01:13:12,060
- unless I go to some damn hospital
where you just lay down and die.
576
01:13:14,379 --> 01:13:20,218
What did you win this for?.
This one right here.
577
01:13:21,659 --> 01:13:27,658
- Doesn't it say?.
- Yeah, it's the Winston Cup.
578
01:13:27,857 --> 01:13:32,937
What's your name?
Or has that slipped your mind, too?
579
01:13:34,377 --> 01:13:37,817
- Screw you, man.
- Okay.
580
01:13:37,977 --> 01:13:43,496
We can go down there and fix your
head or we can fix it right here!
581
01:13:48,056 --> 01:13:51,495
Rowdy would like to see you.
582
01:13:56,335 --> 01:13:59,534
- How is he?
- He's okay.
583
01:13:59,735 --> 01:14:03,254
- How are you?
- Good.
584
01:14:03,414 --> 01:14:07,094
- Will he make Daytona?
- He'll make it out of the hospital.
585
01:14:07,254 --> 01:14:12,093
But he'll never
drive a race car again.
586
01:14:17,333 --> 01:14:21,293
This is Dr Wilhaire.
He's going to be doing the surgery.
587
01:14:21,453 --> 01:14:23,812
Cole Trickle.
588
01:14:23,972 --> 01:14:26,252
How is he?
589
01:14:26,452 --> 01:14:30,971
The doc says
I need minor brain surgery.
590
01:14:31,131 --> 01:14:36,131
Any surgery on his brain
is bound to be minor.
591
01:14:36,331 --> 01:14:41,451
- Can I talk to this guy a second?
- Of course.
592
01:14:51,370 --> 01:14:54,489
A blood vessel in my brain busted.
593
01:14:54,650 --> 01:15:00,329
They want to drill a hole in my head
and get rid of the blood.
594
01:15:03,529 --> 01:15:05,088
- Should I let them do it?
- Yeah.
595
01:15:05,248 --> 01:15:09,288
- You'd let them if it was you?
- I would.
596
01:15:09,487 --> 01:15:15,407
Then I've got to ask you to do
something for me.
597
01:15:15,567 --> 01:15:18,767
- Drive my car.
- What?
598
01:15:18,967 --> 01:15:22,006
Daytona.
599
01:15:23,447 --> 01:15:27,126
You've got plenty of time
to get ready for Daytona.
600
01:15:28,966 --> 01:15:36,365
I lost my sponsor. They're not sure
I'm going to come out of this deal.
601
01:15:36,565 --> 01:15:39,605
Are you?
602
01:15:41,205 --> 01:15:45,125
I've got a lot of land
and a lot of plans I ain't paid for.
603
01:15:45,284 --> 01:15:49,884
So to get my sponsor back,
my car has to run good at Daytona.
604
01:15:50,084 --> 01:15:53,683
All that network TV shit.
605
01:15:53,884 --> 01:15:59,243
- There's plenty of other drivers.
- Don't give me that shit.
606
01:15:59,443 --> 01:16:02,803
My car has to be in the top five, -
607
01:16:03,002 --> 01:16:07,282
- before my sponsors
will pick up the tab for the year.
608
01:16:07,483 --> 01:16:12,082
Maybe after Daytona I can drive.
609
01:16:12,242 --> 01:16:18,561
In the meantime, I want the best
for my family, so don't bullshit me.
610
01:16:18,722 --> 01:16:25,561
Is there some other reason why
I ain't good enough to drive for?.
611
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:36,599
Then you'll do it?
612
01:16:48,518 --> 01:16:51,638
Shit, man! You had me going.
613
01:16:53,238 --> 01:16:57,157
Let's get down to business.
What's your deal with Daland?
614
01:17:00,357 --> 01:17:05,276
I haven't worked it out.
Excuse me for a second.
615
01:17:08,796 --> 01:17:12,996
- Cole, what's wrong?
- Tell Rowdy I'll call him.
616
01:17:28,955 --> 01:17:34,634
No, sir! Can't use 'em.
Don't want 'em. Can't afford 'em.
617
01:17:34,794 --> 01:17:39,873
- What are you talking about?
- Race car drivers. You and Rowdy.
618
01:17:40,034 --> 01:17:43,953
I ain't setting up that car
for Daytona.
619
01:17:44,113 --> 01:17:49,272
But come on in. We'll bring out the
moonshine and start telling lies.
620
01:17:49,432 --> 01:17:55,272
- But no talk about racing.
- All right, no talk about racing.
621
01:17:55,472 --> 01:17:58,991
I'll race your ass.
622
01:18:09,271 --> 01:18:13,111
I'm going to take off.
Good night, Harry.
623
01:18:25,629 --> 01:18:29,149
Why won't you set up the car?.
624
01:18:32,748 --> 01:18:37,188
Ever since you and Rowdy
crashed at Daytona -
625
01:18:37,348 --> 01:18:41,867
- you've been waiting on something
bad to happen to you.
626
01:18:42,028 --> 01:18:47,307
Just like Buddy Bretherton.
He started hearing voices.
627
01:18:47,467 --> 01:18:50,346
All of them saying one thing:
628
01:18:50,507 --> 01:18:54,626
"Get out of that race car. "
629
01:18:59,505 --> 01:19:03,185
You pegged the engine at Atlanta
and blew it sky-high.
630
01:19:03,385 --> 01:19:07,825
It was deliberate.
631
01:19:07,984 --> 01:19:13,224
9,400 rpm
according to the telltale button.
632
01:19:14,784 --> 01:19:18,224
You thought if you didn't get out
of that car you'd die.
633
01:19:18,423 --> 01:19:21,784
Now call me a liar.
634
01:19:21,944 --> 01:19:26,063
- You're not lying.
- What are we talking about then?
635
01:19:26,223 --> 01:19:30,983
Racing Rowdy's car at Daytona.
I can't do it without you.
636
01:19:31,143 --> 01:19:35,062
You can't do it period.
637
01:19:35,222 --> 01:19:39,182
I ain't going back there, Cole.
638
01:19:48,941 --> 01:19:52,221
Buddy didn't die of a heart attack.
639
01:19:52,381 --> 01:19:56,060
Buddy didn't die of a heart attack.
640
01:19:56,220 --> 01:20:00,740
No, he didn't, but you don't
want to hear about it.
641
01:20:02,059 --> 01:20:08,819
NASCAR privately claimed
that your car is what killed Buddy.
642
01:20:10,219 --> 01:20:14,658
You used thin-walled tubing
to keep the weight down.
643
01:20:14,818 --> 01:20:18,098
- Carbon monoxide knocked Buddy out.
- Horseshit.
644
01:20:18,298 --> 01:20:24,738
When Buddy hit the wall, he was
talking as fast as he was driving.
645
01:20:24,937 --> 01:20:30,777
That was the loudest-talking
unconscious man you ever heard.
646
01:20:30,976 --> 01:20:35,577
Why didn't you let them investigate?
647
01:20:35,737 --> 01:20:40,256
Because I should have known better
than to let him drive.
648
01:20:41,576 --> 01:20:45,456
Buddy was a terrible
pain in the ass.
649
01:20:45,616 --> 01:20:51,215
He thought he knew about cars, which
made him twice as ignorant as you.
650
01:20:51,415 --> 01:20:55,175
Still ...
651
01:20:59,734 --> 01:21:02,694
Guys like Buddy ...
652
01:21:02,854 --> 01:21:06,734
I've seen him do things in my car
that are unbelievable.
653
01:21:06,933 --> 01:21:10,373
He showed me what I had done.
654
01:21:10,533 --> 01:21:14,813
Then you automatically
have to sort of love the guy ...
655
01:21:15,012 --> 01:21:18,452
...whether you want to or not.
656
01:21:18,652 --> 01:21:22,092
Buddy Bretherton.
657
01:21:22,292 --> 01:21:25,812
I have to ask you something.
658
01:21:27,972 --> 01:21:34,131
Before Buddy hit the wall,
how was he doing in that race?
659
01:21:34,291 --> 01:21:37,571
You ornery, no good ...
660
01:21:38,971 --> 01:21:42,570
You stay out of that car.
661
01:21:42,730 --> 01:21:46,930
If you get back in that car,
you'll die. You hear?.
662
01:21:50,649 --> 01:21:54,768
I'm not getting back in my car,
I'm getting in Rowdy's.
663
01:21:54,969 --> 01:21:57,528
You dumb drivers.
664
01:21:57,688 --> 01:22:01,728
You think you'll hide
from your bad luck in his car?.
665
01:22:01,888 --> 01:22:05,928
He'd crash you tomorrow
to win the race!
666
01:22:06,088 --> 01:22:09,847
- He's no particular friend, so why?.
- He asked me to.
667
01:22:10,047 --> 01:22:15,247
- You just want to race again.
- And so do you.
668
01:22:15,407 --> 01:22:18,926
Well, you're scared.
669
01:22:19,086 --> 01:22:22,366
Yeah, and so are you.
670
01:22:23,046 --> 01:22:26,086
Yeah.
671
01:22:33,485 --> 01:22:36,125
What?
672
01:22:37,805 --> 01:22:41,324
I need this, Harry.
673
01:22:43,444 --> 01:22:46,724
I don't have anything else.
674
01:22:48,003 --> 01:22:51,603
You've given me a life.
675
01:22:53,243 --> 01:22:56,362
I don't want to lose it.
676
01:22:57,842 --> 01:23:04,162
Put me in that car. Let me be the
one to show you what you've done.
677
01:23:04,322 --> 01:23:07,201
Just trust me.
678
01:23:10,921 --> 01:23:16,201
Let me drive.
I won't make a fool out of you.
679
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:32,919
I ... honestly don't know
how this deal's going to turn out.
680
01:23:35,359 --> 01:23:38,878
Neither do I, Harry.
681
01:24:00,917 --> 01:24:06,836
I'm setting up for cool weather.
If the sun breaks, you'll run loose.
682
01:24:07,036 --> 01:24:12,396
Cole's not ready for that.
He's changed.
683
01:24:12,556 --> 01:24:16,315
You cannot get out of control.
684
01:24:16,515 --> 01:24:20,515
He's liable to hurt you
and you're liable to hurt him.
685
01:24:20,675 --> 01:24:23,714
I couldn't handle that.
686
01:24:23,914 --> 01:24:27,834
You've got to take care of him.
All right?
687
01:24:27,994 --> 01:24:31,194
You've got to take care of him.
688
01:24:40,753 --> 01:24:44,872
This is not the kind of answer
I'm looking for from you.
689
01:24:50,311 --> 01:24:53,911
Daytona is a tough racetrack.
690
01:24:54,071 --> 01:24:58,911
We're going to keep an eye on Cole
to see if he has all his reflexes.
691
01:24:59,111 --> 01:25:05,190
I don't think that the accident
will affect the way Cole performs.
692
01:25:05,390 --> 01:25:08,750
I hope I beat him.
693
01:25:08,950 --> 01:25:12,910
A lot of guys don't like him.
The guy's got a lot of talent.
694
01:25:13,069 --> 01:25:15,510
He just wants to win.
695
01:25:15,670 --> 01:25:20,429
He's been a danger to himself
and to other drivers.
696
01:25:20,589 --> 01:25:25,789
If he comes near me,
I'm going to put him in the wall.
697
01:25:25,949 --> 01:25:29,548
I only expect to see him
in my rear-view mirror.
698
01:25:51,586 --> 01:25:54,346
Come in.
699
01:25:58,345 --> 01:26:02,945
Harry said you wouldn't mind
if I stopped by.
700
01:26:08,904 --> 01:26:13,664
- How's Rowdy?.
- He's getting better every day.
701
01:26:13,824 --> 01:26:18,663
Especially since you said you were
looking forward to racing his car.
702
01:26:18,863 --> 01:26:22,143
So I lied.
703
01:26:22,303 --> 01:26:26,983
- What are you thinking?
- 'What's he thinking?"
704
01:26:30,662 --> 01:26:36,982
Everybody's the same. You've got to
be good at your job to enjoy life.
705
01:26:37,181 --> 01:26:39,821
This is my job.
706
01:26:39,981 --> 01:26:43,341
It's all I know.
707
01:26:48,221 --> 01:26:52,580
You know I can't watch you do this.
708
01:26:52,740 --> 01:26:55,500
Claire ...
709
01:26:55,659 --> 01:27:01,419
I'm more afraid of being nothing
than I am of being hurt.
710
01:27:04,019 --> 01:27:07,139
Walk me in?
711
01:27:09,339 --> 01:27:13,778
Welcome to the Daytona 500,
the Superbowl of motor racing.
712
01:27:13,938 --> 01:27:20,458
Among today's favorites has
to be Wheeler in the Hardee's car.
713
01:27:20,618 --> 01:27:25,057
He's the man to watch, after
winning the pole for today's event.
714
01:27:25,257 --> 01:27:28,297
But don't count out Cole Trickle.
715
01:27:28,456 --> 01:27:33,616
He's returning to Daytona for
the first time since his accident.
716
01:27:35,336 --> 01:27:38,215
I heard you didn't have a sponsor.
717
01:27:38,376 --> 01:27:43,895
They gave us just enough money
to put their name on the car.
718
01:27:48,415 --> 01:27:51,934
- Tim.
- Cole.
719
01:28:00,813 --> 01:28:03,693
Why is the hood up?
What's wrong?
720
01:28:03,853 --> 01:28:09,373
We had to change engines.
We forgot to tighten the oil line.
721
01:28:09,533 --> 01:28:14,932
- Why did you change engines?
- There was metal in the oil filter.
722
01:28:15,092 --> 01:28:18,371
- Where did you get the engine?
- We stole it.
723
01:28:23,891 --> 01:28:30,450
Claire, put the boy in his car
before he starts sweating.
724
01:28:46,888 --> 01:28:51,249
So, are you going to get in your car
and take off?
725
01:28:53,849 --> 01:28:57,368
Drive carefully.
726
01:29:25,165 --> 01:29:27,765
Gentlemen, start your engines.
727
01:29:42,483 --> 01:29:46,323
We are underway.
The Daytona 500 is on.
728
01:29:55,003 --> 01:30:00,442
We are 56 laps into the 200-lap
event and Wheeler is in the lead.
729
01:30:03,441 --> 01:30:05,241
You're 47:01 . The leader's 45:90.
You're running last.
730
01:30:09,321 --> 01:30:13,681
What's going on, Cole?
731
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:18,880
Are you all right?
732
01:30:23,999 --> 01:30:28,279
Just past the halfway mark
and Wheeler still leads.
733
01:30:39,918 --> 01:30:44,358
There's a crash at turn three.
Oil at the bottom of the track.
734
01:30:47,517 --> 01:30:51,717
Cars are sliding down
from the top of the track.
735
01:30:51,917 --> 01:30:55,956
You'd better go high.
Pick a line you can drive through.
736
01:30:58,516 --> 01:31:03,196
Cole, are you all right?
Answer me, please.
737
01:31:04,836 --> 01:31:08,595
Go around those wrecks.
You can drive through it.
738
01:31:08,795 --> 01:31:12,755
I know it in my heart.
739
01:31:24,874 --> 01:31:27,233
I'm through it, Harry!
740
01:31:29,233 --> 01:31:32,513
I'm out of here.
741
01:31:39,832 --> 01:31:42,632
Cole's moved up to ninth.
742
01:31:44,032 --> 01:31:49,552
Wheeler continues to lead, but the
man on the move is Cole Trickle.
743
01:31:55,591 --> 01:31:58,790
I'm going to make a hole
to get through here.
744
01:32:04,590 --> 01:32:07,390
Here we go.
745
01:32:15,709 --> 01:32:19,228
Wheeler knocked me into Ganz.
Ganz spun out.
746
01:32:24,228 --> 01:32:28,588
He's going high.
Goddamn it!
747
01:32:28,788 --> 01:32:32,068
Trickle takes the lead.
748
01:32:32,267 --> 01:32:35,547
Go, Cole.
749
01:32:37,667 --> 01:32:40,866
This is what it's all about.
750
01:32:42,706 --> 01:32:46,905
With 23 laps to go,
Cole Trickle is leading.
751
01:32:47,106 --> 01:32:50,465
- Take him now, Russ.
- He's all mine.
752
01:33:02,544 --> 01:33:05,424
The accelerator is stuck.
753
01:33:07,743 --> 01:33:10,503
I can't slow down.
754
01:33:10,663 --> 01:33:15,423
Step on the clutch
and let the son of a bitch blow it.
755
01:33:19,223 --> 01:33:21,263
Son of a ...
756
01:33:29,141 --> 01:33:35,061
The accelerator is fixed,
but the transmission is screwed.
757
01:33:49,340 --> 01:33:52,860
- Are they out of the race?
- They will be.
758
01:33:53,019 --> 01:33:57,299
Get me out in front of the pace car
or the race is over for us!
759
01:33:57,499 --> 01:34:02,778
- The linkage is all twisted.
- Just give him the high gear.
760
01:34:02,938 --> 01:34:08,018
- I've got it.
- Let's go.
761
01:34:08,178 --> 01:34:11,537
- Come on.
- Go! Go! Go!
762
01:34:11,738 --> 01:34:14,697
Get out there and help them!
763
01:34:24,216 --> 01:34:28,976
- We made it. Good work.
- I owe you one.
764
01:34:30,496 --> 01:34:32,935
That's not your car.
765
01:34:33,095 --> 01:34:36,535
It's my engine in that car and
that's what my boys are pushing.
766
01:34:39,975 --> 01:34:44,494
You've got to be at top speed
when the green flag drops.
767
01:34:47,774 --> 01:34:51,374
The green flag is out
and racing resumes.
768
01:34:51,573 --> 01:34:54,773
Wheeler's still in the lead.
769
01:34:59,133 --> 01:35:02,972
- Where am I?
- Ninth. Eight laps to go.
770
01:35:08,732 --> 01:35:13,332
- Am I gaining on Wheeler?.
- Trickle's moving up fast.
771
01:35:22,850 --> 01:35:25,131
Remember me?
772
01:35:30,810 --> 01:35:35,570
I'm going to draught Wheeler,
make him pull me around.
773
01:35:37,210 --> 01:35:40,409
He's on my ass.
774
01:35:42,689 --> 01:35:46,568
He's going on the outside.
I'm going to put him in the wall.
775
01:35:55,568 --> 01:35:58,527
I'm setting him up, Harry.
776
01:35:58,687 --> 01:36:03,287
There's the white flag.
One lap to go.
777
01:36:15,446 --> 01:36:21,045
- Don't keep this up, Cole, please.
- This guy's going down!
778
01:36:26,285 --> 01:36:30,044
Last turn, Russ.
He'll try and slingshot past you.
779
01:36:30,204 --> 01:36:34,124
I know Cole.
He always goes to the outside.
780
01:36:34,284 --> 01:36:37,244
This one's for you, Harry.
781
01:36:38,163 --> 01:36:40,843
He's going high.
782
01:36:43,482 --> 01:36:46,163
He's going low!
783
01:36:46,323 --> 01:36:49,203
Son of a bitch!
784
01:36:52,362 --> 01:36:57,481
Here comes the finish line,
and Cole Trickle takes the win!
785
01:37:35,638 --> 01:37:39,757
- You weren't going to watch.
- I lied.
786
01:37:44,877 --> 01:37:48,397
- Where's Harry?.
- I don't know.
787
01:37:57,076 --> 01:37:59,516
Harry ...
788
01:38:01,435 --> 01:38:07,435
- Say something, will you?
- I really can't.
789
01:38:11,314 --> 01:38:14,914
You didn't know
how this was going to turn out.
790
01:38:15,074 --> 01:38:21,754
It's like you said: There's
nothing you can't do in a race car.
791
01:38:23,233 --> 01:38:27,073
- We won.
- Yeah.
792
01:38:27,233 --> 01:38:32,152
Can you walk,
or am I going to have to carry you?
793
01:38:32,353 --> 01:38:34,472
Where to?
794
01:38:34,672 --> 01:38:38,352
- Victory Lane.
- Oh yeah.
795
01:38:39,872 --> 01:38:42,711
Walk?. Hell ...
796
01:38:45,031 --> 01:38:48,471
I'll race your ass!
