Summary
Highlights
Hud swiftly defeated the best racers in both Carolinas, including River and Lou, and even Junior. However, he still faced the challenge of the Rookie. The Rookie attempted to slam Hud into the wall, but Hud skillfully avoided contact unless he chose to engage.
Hamilton informs the racer of their speed, which fluctuates between 208 and 207 miles per hour. A tense exchange ensues with Cruz, who is told she is taking the other racer off their line just as the last lap begins. The GPS indicates slow traffic in the way, and a confrontation arises about Cruz winning and one racer's anger. Despite denials of anger, the emotion is encouraged as a fuel to push through.
Cruz is advised to get out of the way and told she doesn't belong on the track, to which she defiantly responds, 'Yes I do.' In a surprising turn of events, Cruz Ramirez ultimately wins the race, leaving commentators speechless.
