Two months before the Riverdale 500, top racer Dale Jonas and his pit crew leave Hiram Lodge's racing team to join Hiram's arch rival C.C. Carp's race team. Betty offers to drive Hiram's race car in the 500, as she's being taught by "Spinout" Stevens, a former race car driver. Hiram then hires "Spinout" as the new pit boss and "Spinout" suggests a new pit crew: Archie, Moose, Reggie, Dilton, Jughead and Chuck. The new pit crew and the new driver then come together in a short time and are ready for the big race.
